The last couple of months have been full of change.
Early in March, we received the call that Sean was being offered a transfer to Kelowna. Two weeks later, Sean was gone, living in a downtown condo in Kelowna and working in his new store. The kids and I stayed behind to help with house showings and continue on with their regular activities. Three weeks after being listed our house sold.

Last Day with Sean
Sean has been trying to come back to visit every couple of weeks. It's certainly challenging having him gone and trying to keep up with school, activities and life.
In April the kids and I went down with Sean to look at a couple of houses in Armstrong as we had made the decision to live out of Kelowna and have Sean commute. The houses we viewed didn't work out. It was disappointing because we went with the thought that we would be putting an offer on a house during that trip. The houses just weren't right for us.

Fishing Event at Polson Park
Last week, the kids and I went back down to look at some more houses. House hunting with kids in tow is not the best idea but we made it work.
On May 9th(my birthday!), we viewed and put an offer on a great family home in Vernon.
Today, May 17, the subjects were lifted and the house is ours!

We are so thankful to now have a house to move into and make a home.
There are roughly 6 weeks left for us here before the movers come and pack us up. We will spend a week and a half in the Kelowna condo, and then move into our new house during the second week of July.
I am counting down the days as we prepare to say goodbye to our home of six years. We have made such amazing connections and relationships here in this town. It will be very hard to leave but we are excited for the new adventures that await us.
We know that God has a plan for us and we are excited as we see it unfold.

ReplyDeleteWow! What a change for you. Your new home looks so beautiful. Hope all goes well!
ReplyDeleteFinally getting caught up on reading! What a stunning home! It looks like a great fit for you. Is it on a road or cul-de-sac? Hope we can chat soon! xo
ReplyDeleteour friends went to that same fishing event. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I haven't been to your blog in a while and what big news I found! We live in Kelowna and are enjoying it. My brother and family and some good friends live in Vernon and really like it too.
ReplyDeleteIn your most recent post you mentioned having a homeschool teacher who lives in Kelowna, one of my good friends here is a homeschool teacher. I wonder if its her!? Or if she maybe knows who you will have? Heres my email address if you want to connect or let me know your homeschool teachers name. :)
