Our New Home (Part 1)

As I posted we are now in our new home. The move went exceptionally well. On Sunday June 27 I picked up the 16' moving truck from Budget, (free plug; I am extremely pleased with the service and vehicle from Budget. It was clean, smooth driving, handled nicely, and didn't break down. I will definitely use them again.) An army of Veters and friends came over to the Loeppky's and under the guidance of the Veters family patriarch the truck was loaded and ready to go in less than 3 hours. Afterwards the Loeppky's hosted a birthday supper for me as I will not in Abbotsford. I managed to keep the tears back and enjoy the food, cake, and presents. I was spoiled with DVD's, bug zappers (very cool), Scope covers (see video), hunting magazines, licorice, Edmonton trivia book, Wii (although it came early), and a socket set. It felt more like Christmas than a birthday. We got up around 6:30 am on Monday ate breakfast said our goodbyes and drove over to the Veters to meet up with my family as they accompanied us on our trip. The drive was good, a bit of rain here and there but for the most part it was ideal driving conditions. We ruled the road in our little caravan of traveling Veters, I took up the front leading the way, Angela and Juliana were close behind and my family taking up the rear. For the most part I felt like a big rig sitting high above the open road, but I was constantly reminded that I was no bigger that any other Ford pickup on the road. But I still felt the urge to honk and wave at the other passing Budget Trucks. We finally pulled in around 10:30 pm. Angela and I got into the city about 20 min ahead of my parents but due to road work on the #16 they beat us to the house, something to do with being in this city and knowing how to get around. They were very kind and let the 3 of us go in first and take a good walk around. Now Angela has never seen this place before apart from MLS pictures, so my heart was racing and I was almost expecting some kind of "I'm disappointed in you this is a horrible place, not what I wanted at all!" But it never came, she loved it and Juliana spent the next 20 min voicing her opinions as well(I will try to get her to make the same sound she did then and post it). When we finally jumped in to bed (which was on the floor as all of our stuf was still in the truck) Angela and I laid listening to Juliana playing peek a boo with her self till she wore out. Yes finally made it, we were now home. The pictures will be in the 'Album' link on the right
