Our Trip to Lloydminster

Finally I have a few minutes to sit down and post some pictures. Although I do have boxes that need unpacking, clothes that need to be folded and a dog anxious to play, but I will take a few minutes to get some posted anyways. We had a great drive up to Lloydminster. It was for sure not the smoothest ride or the shortest but it was fun! Unfortunately U-Haul was not a great service to us, and caused much anxiety, but in the end it all worked out. We got a 26 foot truck but for sure didn't need that much room. Thanks to a group of friends from the church we had her packed up in an hour.We stayed overnight just outside of Calgary at a camp that Brad went to for trainnig for his missions trips. He woke up early the Sunday morning and took some great shots!




Thankfully we had Josh and Laura as well as some men from the church help us unload and again it only took an hour. It was great. The day didn't go as we had planned. Unfortunately some paper work still had to go through and the place was left very dirty so we never moved in till 6 pm, but I was just so happy to have everything in the house and to be able to sleep back in our own bed...in our new house!!! There was a lot to unpack, and it was overwhelming. The hard part was not being able to lift many boxes.

Josh and Brad taking a break from all the unloading.


Thankfully, the next weekend was Thanksgiving in Bonnyville. It was great to have my family out to see our place and enjoy a great Thanksgiving meal made by mom at Josh and Laura's house . She made some great meals that weekend...sorry Jason and Darcie=(



After dinner, we enjoyed just haning out, making virgin margaritas and dessert!! mmmmmm...sooo good! We sure missed the rest of the Weglo family...including Jackson, who we phoned a few times!


Oh, I had to post this picture for Mom, cause she made this yummy sweet potato dish, and yet it was left in the microwave till the next morning. Mom, you did a great job with all those meals. Thanks so much!


I don't have a new belly shot right now, but I will post one soon. But to close off this post I want to leave you with a funny picture of a potato. I say it looks like a rhino...any other imaginative ideas out there?


Pictures of the house coming soon!!!!

i don't see the rhino.... and you guys actually had that many boxes?? it sure didn't seem like it when it was all being packed up!

glad to hear that you guys had a fairly good trip all the way there.... you're a trooper in my books, i don't think i could handle that at this point of pregnancy!
