finally in saskatchewan

Wow what a move. It all started with packing our stuff, i didnt realize how much stuff we have collected. We put our stuff in storage we filled four 10x10 rooms. We bought a 40x8 foot trailor to move stuff, we also put stuff in it that the storage palce would not take. plus the truck had stuff in the back. We left on a fri at 5pm and called my mom to say see you later no goodbyes for me, we get to highway and i forgot my purse so we had a friend bring it to us. We were on our way, we stopped in Barrie to buy dvd player for the kids and we bought supper too. We kept driving to Spanish Ont., it was 2am when we stopped and got a motel. We went for breakfast at the motel it was nice we sat by a fireplace it was nice and hot and had our breakfast. Oh ya it was freezing, try walking dogs it was a quick walk. All was fine i was taking it all in, the scenery that is. Hoping to see wildlife, only deer. We stopped somewhere along Lake Superior, its so beautiful i love it up there. The trailor is so heavy that it kept pushing us down hills along Lake Superior a little scary. We drove to Thunder Bay, and got a motel for the night. Kept driving and driving kids doing ok in a truck for two days. We are coming up to Kenora and the end of Ontario, i was thinking of everything i did in my life. Then i seen the sign MANITOBA, oh my here comes the tears and feeling sick to my stomach. I was very quite for awhile Pascal just kept to himself. We drive to Winnipeg and stopped for gas and food, we started to leave and clunk, clunk from the back of truck we thought it was the trailor so we stopped and check nothing. We kept driving with the clunk, it got bad so we went to Canadain Tire they told us it was the rear end, and told us of a place to get it fixed, not what we wanted to happen. We left trailor at the Canadian Tire, and left to take truck at tranmission place, they drove us to a motel more money. We sat around bored so we rented a jeep so we could see Winnipeg. The transmission place called and said that the truck would not be ready for 3 days. WE then decided to go to Saskatchewan to get things going with Pascals job and to find a house. We got a motel that had two rooms and a full kictchen so we could make our own food. i have to go take Mathieu to school i will finish later.
