Making our house a home
Can’t believe we’ve lived here for 11 days already! It’s been A LOT of work but our house is almost a home…most of the unpacking is done…just our offices and the garage to work on, now. Poor Allan–this is supposed to be his vacation and every time he turns around I’m asking him to hang pictures or install something or carry things up and down the stairs! I must say, he is kinda handy to have around. 
We celebrated our 25th anniversary with a romantic dinner on the deck overlooking the ocean at the West Coast Wilderness Lodge. The ambience, food and company were lovely–25 years later and I’m more in love with my husband than ever! Our big celebration will come in September when we cruise to Alaska. My sister, Roxanne and her fiance, Brian gave us an incredibly thoughtful anniversary gift–a “Renewal of Vows” ceremony/package to take place on our cruise.
We’re looking forward to the next few weeks as we have many visitors making their way over. Allan, Noel and his friend Kyle brought the boat home last weekend so we’re ready to explore the waterways. Good company, fresh crab and a good bottle of wine…sounds like a great summer!
We survived!
Well, the furniture arrived today, and now we’re officially ‘moved in’. The movers didn’t arrive until just before noon, so we had the morning to drink some coffee on the deck, and explore the neighbourhood. It was a bit chilly in the morning, and we didn’t bring our jackets with us, so we drove around looking for some place to have breakfast. We found Laverne’s Grill no too far down the road, and had a wonderful homemade pancake breakfast. Afterwards we decided to check out Madeira Park and pick up a few Groceries at the IGA. » Continue Reading
We made it!
Today was moving day, and we made it! Here we are sitting on our deck at 9pm, looking out over the water, watching the orange light of the setting sun light up the opposite shore of Pender Harbour, and seeing the moon rise in the south-east sky.
Packing, Packing
Well, we’ve been busy the last few weeks slowly packing our home up, and we’re almost there. Shelley has done an amazing job keeping things organized and making sure we don’t forget all of those little things, like change of addresses, etc. This weekend we’ve stepped things up another notch and have been working like crazy getting everything ready for the big move on Tuesday.
Our new website!
Welcome to our new website!
As part of our move to Pender Harbour, we needed to get new personal email addresses, so we figured it was time to just get a domain name and email addresses to go with it. Please note that someone already beat us to allanandshelley.com (we have no idea who they are) and that our domain name is allanandshelley.ca.
So our email addresses are:
allan@allanandshelley.ca
shelley@allanandshelley.ca
