We have finally settled back in Ottawa, and in our own place. Feels good. Feels different, but feels good. I will not be packing a suitcase any time soon let me tell you. For two months the girls and I have been living out of a suitcase and in hotels or with people and while it was fun, it gets old.
It is a little overwhelming to be unpacking everything, things that I've forgotten about because its been a year since we've seen them. The girls are excited with each new box of toys they open as they are finally not deprived of toys, movies, and DVDs anymore.
The weather here since our arrival has been smothering. Funny how initially I wasn't too happy about having to spend 3 weeks of my summer in NL because usually the joke is that NL only gets two weeks of summer so you better not miss it. Well I have to say that pretty much the entire time we were there, the weather was great. It really was the best time to visit NL because the weather will be at its best around then, the capelin were in so that meant a lot of whales, the George st. festival is on along with many other festivals. It was a fun trip and very... eventful.
Ottawa is the same but different for me. A new home, in a new neighborhood so I have to find all the key places to go in this end of the city. I had to get used to a new grocery store this morning and we have a new routine with Darryl having his own practice now.
I am longing a little for the beautiful fresh ocean air of NZ with every suitcase I unpack containing things we had with us there. Lots of great memories. Its also hard to believe that this whole past year is over with. So much anticipation leading up to it and here we are...leaves me asking, Now what?? :)
