Camping at Home

When I was little, we moved around a lot. One of the things I was almost most excited by was the first night in the new place. My sister and I would usually stay there on our own, on the floor or perhaps on a sponge. I've always found moving exciting, with the new possibilities that come with it.

I notice, though, that as I get older the camping gets progressively more 'yuppy'. We might bring food and snacks, or a radio, or a laptop. As we're waiting for our stuff to get here, we've got shiny new couches, a new bed for Leif, and a new dining room table and chairs. Pictures will come soon. =)

We're all settling in well. We've almost completed the basic tasks of becoming a citizen of Quebec again. The driver's licenses are changed over, Angie and Leif's medical applications are done (mine will be done tomorrow). We have updated library cards, are signing up for Communauto this week. And we have been served with our Welcome Tax

I've really appreciated being able to check in with new and old friends. It's weird timing because so many people are returning home for the holidays, but still good because it means that we have a bit of time to get settled.

So happy to be home! =)
