My body is 33 years old, but my mind.....???!!!??!!!

How is it that I'm already 33 years old? I know that 33 is not considered old, old. Yet it somehow sounds old. Where does the time go????

Lots going on here in our household. We'll be moving in 4 weeks to Manitoba, so the pressure's on to get the house packed up and all loose ends tied. We've been struggling with housing issues. Having never lived in Manitou, we don't want to rush into purchasing a home. However, there doesn't seem to be a rental market in Manitou. The only homes for rent in town are 2 low-income homes owned by the Manitoba Housing Authority. Due to the fact that these homes will be empty and unoccupied, they may allow us to rent one. Hopefully we will have an address soon! I'll keep you'all posted...

I'm really looking forward to settling into a home, so hopefully we'll find a 'permanent' home by fall. (*Horrors* - these rental homes do NOT have a dishwasher!*!*!*!*) We've moved around so much that I'm afraid to put pictures on the walls now, so that I don't have holes to fill when we move again. This will be our ninth home... and if we buy in summer/fall, it'll be our tenth home in 10 years of marriage! We should be experienced movers by now!

A HUGE thank you to my family! They all pitched in to get me this KitchenAid Stand Mixer from Costco. I've been *desiring* this for a couple of years now! WOOHOO!!! Off I go to check out some recipes!
