A Warm Fall

I was kind of grumpy yesterday. Eek. Thank goodness for a good nights rest, a fresh day and that it's October in just a few hours. I feel like a different girl today as I sit here, thinking about the week to come and what's been happening lately. I often find myself wondering what it's like to have your own home and a place you stay for longer than months at a time. It has been such a transitional stage of life that someday I hope to look back and read this entry when I am seated in a home that I own and will stay in for a long, long time. In my mind and my heart, I feel like that will be a really good moment.

The piles of boxes have been growing around me for the last few days and I can already feel our days this week slipping through my fingers. After seeing that Calgary has snow in the forecast, I am more driven than ever to get the girls out to soak up fall. The weather here has been gorgeous. Honestly I think our house was cooler inside than outside today. I expected it to be chilly because of how cosy we were in blankets this afternoon but I walked outside to cloudy t-shirt weather. It made me feel extra strange ordering down filled winter coats for the girls to wear next week. Whyyyy.

Speaking of ordering things, I am a little out of control lately. Someone needs to cut me off from the shopping because I feel like I'm trying to do my shopping for the rest of the year before we go. Every thing I've been practical about not buying, waiting for sales, etc I am all I need to buy this now because I won't be in the land of free shipping soon and I don't want to add even more costs. I don't understand why Canadian shopping isn't as good as American but on the bright side, I may save a little money being north of the border again. Always looking for a bright side. That's what I will keep on doing. T-7 days!
