Homless

Annika and I have been homeless all week. but that's all right. tomorrow we head up to the UP. 5 hours in a van with just me and a 2 year old. I broke down and bought a in car dvd player. I figured that we would be doing this drive enough, it will keep her well entertained. I also got a bag of fun stuff for the car ride that she hasn't been allowed to play with right now.

I've had a good week hanging out with friends and family, but I am ready to get up north. I am ready to get settled and begin this next phase of life.

Thanks to all of our friends who helped us work on our house on Saturday. We were able to get 2 rooms and a hallway painted, and also the basement got cleaned out and the rest of the kitchen got packed up. It was great to get all of this done. I am feeling a lot less stressed out about the move now.

Dan goes up north a week from today. I can't believe that its here already.

We got the nicest care package from camp yesterday, some sweatshirts for all of us, a coloring book for annika, nametags for us all, some maple syrup from a local, homemade hot fudge and notes for us from the staff and more. we were so touched by the gesture. I can't wait to get up to camp and am looking forward to being part of that 'family.
