We were pretty sad about the Oilers losing last night. As dissapointed as I was about the loss, I was more upset for Scott and the team itself for how they were feeling. Let's face it, I've only been a fan for 5 years and Scott's been bleeding Oiler blue for most of his life. I wanted them to win for him. At least in a week or so Scott, the Oilers, and the rest of the fans will be able to appreciate how amazing the run was and that they get another shot at it next season. So I've put my jersey away for the next 3 months and craziness will start again.

Now that the play offs are done our life will go back to normal. Or at least as normal as it can be with a big moving coming up in a few weeks. We're really excited about getting there. The preparations can be a little hectic, but it'll all work out. We know when we're moving so now we just have to book movers, carpet cleaners, buy plane tickets, get rid of some of our stuff, and cancel services. Lots to do, but I'm up for the challenge. The good thing is that as much as it's all going to cost us, Edmonton is a cheaper city so things will feel nicer when we get there.

I'm really glad to be moving during the summer so that we have good weather. Summer doesn't last too long in Northern Alberta, but it'll be nice to get some time to get outside and enjoy what's left of it. I haven't been there in the winter yet, so I don't really know what to expect. Apparently the cold is a dry cold so it's not as bad as the wet cold of the east. Also, the sun is often out in the winter to brighten the day.

marlene, summer may not last long, but the sun stays out much longer in the evenings... like till 11pm! so you get lots of outside time... plus you can go to jasper anytime - it's so beautiful there... plus you don't have to work at that job anymore, the one you hated so much (yay!)

yes, i agree, it's good to move during the summer - more people are spending time outside so it's easier to meet them...

good luck with your move!
