3 comments

So I havn't wrote in a very long time so I will try fill everyone in on what has taken place, and what is to come in the near future. So we have FINALLY booked our tickets to the DR. We leave Canada August 6th, so that is when I will strart trying to make a 5 min youtube video everyday. We have only about a week and a half here at the farm and this picture is whet we are living in the past few weeks. We are out of our house and things are really getting down to the wire, the puppies have gotten all thier required shots and are ready to fly, so we are all just waiting impatiently.
On the 29th of this month we will be off to B.C. for some golfing, and visiting family then we are off. On a totally different subject..... This last weekend we had th privelege of seeing some old friends that went to Rwanda for a year. Now we are planning on moving to DR for a year and if you don't buy you residencey you have to leave the country after 9 months and then you can come back. Well we are in the process of thinking about heading to Rwanda for a month. Now I know what your thinking, ARE YOU INSANE?!?! But the friends that we talked to are going to help us out with places to stay and people to see. Nothing is for sure, but what an adventure that would be!! Anyway that is all for now, I will start to keep up with the blog now that we are almost on our way. Thank you for following and coming with us and talk to you all soon!!

19 Day's Till The 1ST Move

0 comments
So since I last posted, we had our garage sale, and have been packing and fixing some small things on the house. The next 2 months are going to be INSANE!!! It is 19 days till we have to be out of our house in B.C. Thaen we go to alberta for 3 weeks. I have to do some work in Edmonton at my moms house and we are going to be staying at my Grandparents farm while we are there. Then get a few things for our move to the D.R. Then at the beginging of August we are going back to B.C. for Amber's family reunion. Then off to Ontario to see my brother and his family, And then I think about the 14th of August we will be flying out. However, the house we were going to look after we aren't anymore. Long story short, there was alot of breakins and even when they were home guys came with a car jack and were jacking the metal bars on the windows apart. So yea we can't stay there anymore cause they had too move, it just wasn't sake enough. But we did find another place to look after for a month and then we will search while we are down there. But I will keep updating you guys as things progress. Thanks for following and I can't wait to bring you guys with us, take care!! CHEERS!!

0 comments

Hey guys so we got back from Camping and yet ANOTHER busy weekend. Our house is going to be so empty after this weekend! We are going to try and sell stuff we don't use and stuff that we can't bring to the D.R. So on Saturday we got a call from our friends in Las terrenas, the ones that we were going to look after their house. Well it turns out that they have been having some "security" issues and they have to move. But we did get a hold of his sister and she is coming back to canada for a month so we will be hous sitting for her now. I just hope that they can find something to do with their pups so they don't have to get rid of them. We are still trying to find out how we are going to ship our puppys down there with us. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see. But just want to thank you guys that are following our journey. I can't wait to take u all with us, woot woot!!! 40 days till we have to be out of our house!!!!!

Packing and Waiting!

0 comments

Ok so these next 2 months are seriously going to draaaaaaag. I am packing abunch of stuff this weekend and next week we are making a trip to Alberta to drop off the first load. We are hoping that we can get the rest in our second and final load. But yeah we are still trying to contact a company in vancouver that ships animals internetionaly so that we can get our puppys down there. We can't fly them there with us because the airplanes aren't air conditioned in the storage areas and they will fry, so we stil have that to figure out. But hey here is some good news! I have been in the process of applying for a government grant for the past 4 months and found out today that it went through!! They are going to pay for my schooling, mortgage (till the possesion date) food, all that good stuff. They might even pay our rent and bills in the dominican as well, that would be awesome!! It is for web design, so I am pretty stoked about that. So I just thought I would write a little today, I am going to start MONDAY I think, May 10 2010 my daily vlogs on you tube.

SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!

0 comments

Well it has been almost a year now and the house FINALLY has sold!! What a relief!! So now we have to start focusing on getting ready, we will be moving out July 7th and heading to alberta for a few weeks, then in the middle to the end of August is when we will be flying out to El Catay airport in Samana. Just a 30 min gua gua ride into town and our new life. We also got a hold of the couple that want us to look after their house and 2 dogs, so we will have a pretty sweet place to live until January, but it will be much easier to find a good place while we are there. Also Mark, the guy that we are watching his house, says he wants me to use his dirtbike while we are there so it doesnt just sit and rust, which is pretty cool too, that way I don;t have to buy one right away when we get there. But yeah that is all for now, I will keep posting as much as I cn so check back often and we can't wait to bring you all with us!

A Place to Live!!!!

0 comments

Ok so I just got a phone call from our friends in Las Terrenas. They are originally from Canada and they need to come back here for about 6 months. However they want to hold on to their place so they phoned us and asked if we wanted to look after it when we come down! It is an awesome place and a HUGE yard for the dogs. In fact we are going to be watching their dogs as well, so there will be our german shepard chopper, our DR street dog pica, their rotwieler cheespa, and their neapolean mastiff hippo. It is going to be quite the busy house! Not looking forward to scooping all that poop though! But hey it wil be a place we can set up and then while we are there we can focus on looking for a place of our own when they get back.
So yeah anyway, it has been pretty stressfull around here. The lady that put the offer on our house was having trouble with her financing so we where getting pretty worried. But we just got word yesterday that it went through so now the home inspection should be any day now and hopfully this will all be over and done soon. Unfortunatly I am off to edmonton for work for awhile, but soon enough we will be outta here. So take care for now and here is a picture of hippo when he was just a puppy! Enjoy!
