The big move
Well Rachel and I finally made the big decision. We’ve decided that it was time to give up on Saskatchewan (for the time being anyways) and have me move to Montreal to live with her. Living with your wife sure sounds like a good idea. It will be sad to leave friends and family behind but they can always come and visit!
We’ve been going back on forth on the idea but today we finally sealed the deal and signed a lease for a new apartment. I told Rachel that if I was going to move to Montreal that I wouldn’t stay at our current place another night. So we stepped it up, probably more than we should have. We are moving from a place that is infested with mice, has a leaky ceiling in the bathroom and kitchen, has noisy neighbors (piano players, guitar players, dogs, little kids), lots of smokers, horrible power, a kitchen where none of the cupboards close and so much more that I can complain about to this:
We will be living downtown Montreal. 1 very short block from the metro, half a block to a YMCA, 2 blocks from Old Montreal, and close to so many awesome restaurants. It should be pretty awesome.
So when am I moving? January 1, 2009 I will start the trek from Saskatoon to Montreal (this time with everything we own.) We have a spare room so setup a trip and come and visit us. We promise, no mice this time.
