July 1st

Today we take possession of our new house.

From today until Thursday sometime (if all goes well) we'll be without phone and internet at home. So blogging will probably be slow for a few days.

I admit that my case of nerves is back a bit again this morning. New things always frighten me and stress me out.

They make me reclusive - which is a bit of a challenge when you're trying to settle into a new home, with a roommate from another country who doesn't have any friends in Calgary except yourself and the other roommate. Only problem is that our other roommate is currently enjoying a beach in France, and, according to the email she sent us on Monday, getting "hit on" by French men who "just can't help themselves."

Happy Canada Day!

And, a friend informs me that I also need to know that today is Rwanda Day as well. That made me smile when she told me last night.

There were other things that made me smile last night too... special, quiet, private things that I'm so thankful for.

I like new days, new weeks, even new months. Funny that I like those sorts of new things and not the other sorts of new things.
