T-minus 12 hours

Sorry for the lack of blogging over the past two days. Things are really hectic here right now. The movers come tomorrow at 9:00am so everything has to be done before we go to bed tonight.

Before I show you our progress and since this is a healthy living blog lets quickly discuss my eats lately…boring and lets be honest not the healthiest. Actually the only thing that has been really blog worthy was lunch yesterday. I met a friend for lunch yesterday at OPA.

OPA is a Greek restaurant in Halifax. For lunch I had the Hummus Dip with pita bread and I split the Spankakopita (which is greek cheeses, spinach and herbs wrapped in filo and served with a feta cream dill sauce) with my friend.

Even with that yummy lunch I forgot to take pictures. We were too busy chatting and I totally forgot about my camera (that happens sometimes – oh well).

Other then that, food has been about eating whatever is leftover in the fridge and avoiding the grocery store. This has included leftover mozza sticks, oven sweet potato fries, chicken nuggets, apples with almond butter and toast – lots of toast.

In other news the packing seems to be done. We have lots a boxes but the only things that aren’t packed are the stuff that’s coming for the drive with us. Here are some pictures to so you where we’re at.

Living Room with a few boxes that aren’t full yet so we haven’t closed them.

Well that’s about it. We’re heading to my dad’s tomorrow for the next two days to stay there until we leave on Sunday. I’m not sure how much internet access I’ll get but I’ll try to blog tomorrow night from there.

Night all and wish me good luck that I’ll get everything finished before the movers come in the morning.

The Big Announcement

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post there’s been some crazy stuff going in my life and I’m ready to fill everyone in.

First here are some hints:

So have you figured it out yet?

That’s right we are moving to Calgary. The husband got a job in Calgary starting on the first of August so we are packing up our apartment and moving out there in two weeks. We are leaving two weeks from Sunday and spending 6 nights and 7 days driving across the country.

It’s very exciting but also scary to start this new journey in our lives and I hope you all bear with me in this crazy time. I will still be trying to post everyday but you might see pictures like this…

And in a couple of weeks I will be blogging about my trip and then I’ll let you know what it’s like to get settled in a new city.

I hope to keep you all interested and will continue to try to live a healthy lifestyle during this crazy process.

Thanks again for sticking around.
