At the beginning of April, we were told by our landlord that we could have about a quarter rent each month for the summer, because Geoff has been working for them for the last 2 1/2 years. We were pretty excited, because not only do we LOVE our apartment, but we also really didnt want the stress of moving everything before we left. Plus, Geoff has finals until April 30th, and we move May 1st... So it's more that I didnt want to move everything all by myself.. And we also didnt want the worry of finding somewhere to live at the end of August. This was all fine and dandy until April 18th-ish, when our landlord told us we couldnt have cheap rent anymore. BAH. I learned, get everything in writing!!! So now we are moving. I worked until last thur, and then had previously bought a bus ticket from Calgary to Lethbridge tomorrow(April 27th), because i didnt know i would be packing. So I did as much packing a i could (which wasnt very much) last week in between working, and seeing friends before we leave. That leaves me 3 days to move everything I own to Calgary.
Once I heard that i had to move, i sort of shut my brain down. I was proud of myself for at least getting boxes... But it wasnt until today, that me and kristine finally started calling around for moving trucks. what was i thinking? last day of the month i want it for, and it is the time that ALL the students are moving home!! of course, there were no trucks anywhere!! for the whole week! we did luck out and get a truck for friday though.
What a stressful couple of weeks. But it is slowly coming together. I will have such amazing people to help me! all the way down to kristines parent-in-laws taking the kids so she could come down thur and help me move until friday. And she is a moving queen!! so its going to be a busy couple days, but i think im ready for it!
And if anyone wants to help move, we are moving everything into the truck in lethbridge at 4 on friday.. and then moving it all into pink nanas garage at 8 in calgary. lol.
it has almost made me not excited about dallas... but i am trying to be optomistic!! once i get through these next couple of days, it will be such a fun adventure!!

Good luck with the move! That's crazy your landlord would spring that on you so late!! We are also moving this weekend so we won't be able to help out, and we are moving in opposite directions. Hope things go well though and that you guys have a successful summer in Texas! Wohoo!!
