. . . Settled . . . Down . . .

So I've told you about my time pre-move, and I've shared with you a few stories about the process of the move. Now I should shed some light on the last week as I've settled in, moved things around, unpacked my life into the wonderful little suite I now call home. Granted, I would love to post photos of my wonderful little place, the unfortunate thing at the moment, is I cannot find my camera. I don't know where it is, but it holds the key to posting photos for you!
So Monday, was a tough day for me, as I had to say goodbye to my mom. It was the best time ever that I've had to spend with her road tripping, and I knew that it would be the hardest to say goodbye to her, because she is the best of the best. We had a great Monday together as we traveled out towards the airport. Shared a great breakfast and conversation together, then ventured to the local Christian bookstore; where we both made some marvelous purchases! We then went on to find the airport where we checked her in, chatted a bit and had a tearful goodbye. You never really know how hard it is to say goodbye to someone you love, until you're in that moment realizing that after you say goodbye you aren't going to physically see them for an extended period of time. Or at least that's how I felt in that moment. I was bordering on two distinct feelings: 1) So terribly sad that I was saying goodbye and 2) Excitement that this new part of my life was starting. When I think about it now, I still have those two feelings floating back and forth.
Anyways moving on..a quick recap of my week
Monday-- Mom departed, Dinner with Nick's brother and his wife, back home to hang out with the dog, Diesel. Day ends.
Tuesday-- Spent the day with Nick's wonderful cousin, my bestie, Alyssa, where we went to Ikea, only the greatest store ever. Then we parted ways only to be reunited later on to quickly wonder the mall, only to be parted again, only to be brought back together for dinner. Did you catch all those quick and sudden periods of time? Hope so..  Day ends.
Wednesday-- Job hunting, job hunting job hunting, with a slight break to spend time with my previous roomie from College, where we fine dined at the classiest of all place, Tim Hortons...Always delicious. . . My evening finished with have dinner with Nick's other brother and his wife(who I might add, I live in their basement suite:) . . . so my landlords) Day ends.
Thursday-- I got to babysit the cutest little boy ever, Nick's nephew. We played all day, went for lots of walks in the sun and just had a blast. Again... joining Nick's brother and his wife for supper. Day ends.
Friday-- The best day ever. The day everyone has been asking me about. "How did he react?" "What did he say?" "Was he shocked?"
If you didn't know this by now..Nick was away for the first week I've been here and had no idea I was here...
Friday was the day he flew in from the States and I picked him up at the airport..
Wanna know how he reacted...??? Guess you will have to wait for the next post to find out..
