Welcome to Spiritwood.. mmm, I just love the ring to it!

So as I got my kids ready for bed - baths, brushed teeth, sung lullabies, kisses and hugs and tucked into bed (sigh I do a little party dance) I sat down at my beloved computer, Oh how I love you computer! my communicative tool to the outside world, sometimes my ONLY tool to the outside world on days where I'm unable to go far- Internet you are a life saver! I sit down and open up my trusty little email to see my lovers name highlighted! I screech inside a little, getting my daily email from him is like Christmas! I know - heart throb, gotta say I love the man!
and this is what it reads -
"Hey babe,
We are going to SPIRITWOOD. Looks like a sweet town. My Cpl. thinks there is force housing. Lots to do with the kids. Nice small town of about 1000. Golfcourse, lakes, hockey, bowling alley. hospital. Everything we asked for. CANT WAIT!"

So there it is guys.. our NEW HOME TOWN! its cute isn't it? so much Spirit in SPIRITWOOD!

 AAHHH - Its here, its finally here! I KNOW where I am going... bahhhhhhh! I immediately open up Google maps, to my disappointment am shocked to see how far we are from our dear friends. but quickly turn it into "better then 12 hours" then continue to search, looking at the town Here and realizing how amazinng this town looks, so also went here to find my DREAM HOUSE :) Man, God is sooo good! He has totally mapped this out, better then I could have ever hoped or imagined. Yah a few bumps and bruises along the way, but seriously? we asked for a little town, with activities for our kids, french immersion programs for when little R enters school (which is next year by the way I sign her up THIS fall... GAH! Holy lifted where did the past 4 years go?) fishing, hunting, a lake because we love water (hard to come by in the prairies) and we got EVERYTHING.. I am just jumping for joy right now. Although I know this still means I have to pack up my whole life in boxes and take my darlings away from both sets of grandparents - but yes, for an amazing adventure and journey I hope to never forget, and that I hope my kids take from!
so now my prayer is that we GET the dream house or another disappointment will be coming. But its okay - I have my husband back in 5 very short weeks..
So that is the excitment for today, and its only MONDAY!! I love happy days :)

heres a bit of info on our new home town - enjoy !

Spiritwood, Saskatchewan. Open spaces, northern lights rippling across the star filled skies. Fresh air and wheat fields and some of the most breathtaking sunsets against the prairie horizon.

Spiritwood is an agricultural centre situated in the north central Parkland District, an area of relatively good soils. Grain growing is the chief industry followed closely by the raising of livestock.

Spiritwood offers its residents fully modern accommodation, education, medical, dental, retail, and government services. Its close proximity to an abundance of lakes and parks enhances the quality of life with camping, boating, fishing, golfing, hunting, snowmobiling, and hiking.

Spiritwood's economy is healthy and vibrant due to the diversity of mixed farming, retail trade, government services, and tourism.
