Goodbye

Our last days in Ontario flew by very quickly.  We had countless errands to run, not to mention closing the house sale, selling the cars, and packing everything up.  These tasks kept us busy, and before we knew it, it was Monday, and time to leave.

It was difficult to say good-bye to all our friends and family, but we had a really nice send-off, with a bon voyage party on Friday night with a big group of friends, and the again another nice evening together with our families on Sunday night.  Saying farewell to everyone can take quite a toll.  It is difficult knowing that we may not see everyone again for quite some time.  We will likely be missing family events, the birth of my niece/nephew, the birth of children from friends, not to mention birthdays, possible weddings, hockey games, other parties, and a whole lot more.

Looking at this in perspective though we shouldn't really complain.  This upcoming trip will also be filled with many memorable moments as well - just not with the family and friends that we are so close to.

We would like to thank everyone who helped us out in these last few days.  My parents have been great, helping us with moving, storage, hosting parties, and providing a place for us to stay for the weekend. Also, all our other family members and friends who helped with moving, and giving us a great send off.

So thank-you everyone, and good-bye for now.
