The month of June was a whirlwind, we had our going away party at the end of the month and had so many people come to bid us a farewell- but, we were still home for another month, there was this build up of anticipation then it was kind of halted. I was so lucky to be able to have the summer off to get ready to leave. Our departure date was set for July 26th and there was still so much to do. From packing up the house to packing for our trip, I was kept busy until the moment we left. We went to Johnny’s home town for 5 days saying goodbye to his family and our friends.

We connected with an old friend Johnny went to high school with. Spending the day at their pool while our kids played. Coincidently, his family is going to the Gold Coast in Austraillia for a year, arriving around the same time we are, hopefully we will be able to connect with them. After our Clinton goodbyes it was back home for another round. I had no idea I would be so emotional that last week. Every time Liv and I would look at Jesse and Stewie we would start crying, I knew how ridiculous it was, knowing I would be seeing Jess in a few short months, but I hate saying Goodbye and usually try to avoid it at all cost. We were able to spend time with all our close friends and family, feeling very loved and supported. We were finally off…

Our property on Lake Wah-Wash-Kesh was our first stop. Truly one of the most beautiful places. Johnny’s family joined us for the weekend and all the Wah-Wash-Kesh crew was there. We had a huge feast on Saturday night (thanks WWK peeps) and had the perfect weather, cliff jumping, camp fires, swimming and fishing what an amazing start to this adventure.
Now I am sitting here in our trailer (did I mention that we bought this amazing Hybrid), at Grundy Lake Provincial Park in Kilarny having a coffee thinking about what today is going to bring.
Here are some moments from our final days....
