FIFA women's World Cup in Edmonton

The night before our big move from Edmonton we took a family outing to a once in a lifetime event! World Cup, say what? In Edmonton?? Heck yes! It was a rain delayed, 0-0 game vs the Netherlands. But we were on the exciting side with all the African drummers and really close shots (almost scored by our team). Loved this night! Goodbye Edmonton! We will miss It here! 


Maybe we won't miss the jam packed trains... But I'm guessing Toronto won't be much better in that regard! 

Move from Edmonton

We didn't have all that much stuff! In the past few weeks we sold a bunch on kijiji and passed around Gma and Gpa Low's furniture. The biggest stuff was our king bed and Grant's crib! 

Move from Edmonton



Our stuff as it was being moved from the house in Edmonton! Two really friendly Turkish men came to do our move. They picked it up in June and it will be stored in Mississauga until we have them deliver it to us in August.

Probably the LAST person to figure this out!

Did you know you can blog off your phone?? It's the blogger app!! Wow life just got awesome when Sharalee told me that! I treat my blog like our family journal, and my phone is much more handy than the computer! I love that I can upload pics and briefly write my thoughts just using my iPhone! 
I'm prob the last to figure this out but just incase I'm not...
Blogging just got much easier!!!

Zoo Day!

This past week has been a bit stressful with lots of decisions.
We decided to go to University of Toronto for Robbie to attend med school, as he mentioned earlier... and although it is the right decision, it definitely wasn't the easy/convenient one. It's a great thing there are only 3 of us in this family so far because moving across the country is hard enough! I guess we make it harder because we are both kinda cheap... PODS was twice as much as professional movers!! Wahoo! So that means we will pay 1/2 the price for people to load up our stuff for us and store it for 2 months- SWEEEEEEET! Hours went into that decision..... Anyway, once we got the details figured out of our moving, finding new renters, putting up lots of stuff on kijiji, dejunking, looking at LOTS of housing options in Mississauga(still haven't found one), planning the summer, and some packing, we decided to take Robbie's day off at the ZOO! A much needed break!! (We haven't been to the Edmonton Valley Zoo yet! Not the most impressive one I've been to, but we didn't care!!)
Such a nice day!!

Grant wasn't quite into it yet! There is still time!

I wore the right purse for this day out :) This cheetah was sooo furry. The highschool kids near us kept saying they wanted to cuddle that furry cheetah! hehehe



You can't see it well, but that's a Siberian Tiger! And I mean the one in the background... ha!
