The house is unpacked and I am finally learning my way around town. I feel like I have accomplished a lot since we moved here a month ago. We have already connected with several neighbours, including helping one move in next door. The boys are quickly making friends including one little boy who daily comes to the front door asking if they can play.
I have had several opportunities to talk with the ladies as people just enjoy coming out of their house and talking in our little community. We will start with just two of us talking and more will come and join us. There were four of us talking along the side of my house the other day as we discussed gadgets (iPad, laptops..etc), family, the neighbourhood and so on. One mentioned how she just moved from a cul-de-sac and is going to miss the community she felt there with BBQs and block parties. I told her that we should have a BBQ in our front yard. We’d just need to set up some table on the lawn or on the driveway, pull the BBQs out front and have some fun. I am looking forward to making that a reality this Summer.
We have been visiting churches in the city and think we may have found the church that we are going to settle in for the year. Shane has already met with the pastor for coffee to introduce himself and we are planning on getting our families together for dinner so we can all get to know each other a bit better.
Things are happening and we are very excited!
