Wow, it really is amazing how fast time flies! After returning from Mexico our house was listed, there had been a realtor open house, and we were having several showings. The day before Darin moved to Ontario to start his new job he had a nasty case of stomach flu, hadn’t packed yet, and we had a day of showings, including one with an hour notice. All Darin wanted to do was sleep, but it was a good thing that we agreed to the showing as it was the one that resulted in an offer – our house was sold! We had six weeks to get everything settled and moved.

One of the things I wanted to do was see more of New York, so my mom flew out and we spent a few days shopping and enjoying the Big Apple sites, including Dean and Deluca, yummy! The highlight for me was seeing the Lion King, what an amazing musical! The costumes are spectacular and the actors amazing; if you have a chance to see the production I highly recommend you go! We had a great girls trip that I’m hoping will result in a yearly tradition.

Since both of our vehicles were leased, they were returned to the dealerships and mom and I rented a car to drive to Ontario. We thought it would be easier than flying with my paranoid and loudly verbal cat Molly. The trip went really well, Molly howled for about an hour and then relaxed a bit and was quiet for most of the rest of the trip – including an overnight stay in a hotel in Niagra. We crossed the border with no hassle and moved in with my in-laws in Oshawa.
