Oh my goodness where are you traveling or moving too??
We are going from Seattle area to Toronto... it is quite the long haul!! The funny thing is we decide to take a bit longer route so we didn't have to drive through the upper states in case of spring snowstorms.... yeah... didn't really work out the way I hoped but at least we weren't in the northern states this week with the 2+feet of snow!!

Stay safe!!!! Omg, I'm surprised your kids haven't killed each other yet.
HAHA!!! no they do pretty good! We keep a steady stream of movies going for them so they stay pretty entertained that way and we try to stop somewhere for them to get out and play every few hours. We have always been "just get in the car and drive for a few hrs" kind of people. It is the best time for my husband and I to talk stuff out so the kids are used to being in the car.

You guys, those of you who have already received your PR, was it much harder to take the last steps? We've waited for so long already, but I never felt this impatient as I am now. All we need is the medical extension and bingo. But every day seems like a century. My insane amount of yoga and work doesn't seem to cure it anymore!

At this point, I'd say either one :D
But yeah, after PPR, I'll probably be overly impatient with the courier company!

In my case I couldn't tell because I got a PPR then I left on vaca for a could of weeks. When I came back my mail was overflowing with all the ads and mail and there among all that junk the brown envelope was glowing like gold. You should just start packing now if you need to move things or get other things ready because its just a matter of time now. I wished I had starts packing a couple of months ago. Now I feel like I don't have a head...thanks goodness for Any.do because I have been adding tasks every single day.

Oh that's good. Not having to wait and being distracted is what I need right now. I'm usually pretty good with getting rid of distractions but this past week has been absolutely horrible.

We did my husband's B4 couple of weeks ago, thinking his visa is right around the corner. It probably is. It just seems forever now.

When are you gonna move? Hope it goes smoothly. Moves are not fun, but going to a new environment is, methinks :)

Thank you. In about 15 days :-\ my place is upside down right now. I would to move sooner but I don't think I can pack that fast. Plus I want to leave this place sparkly clean so they don't charge me much on cleaning. I will be charged for shampooing the carpet so far...which is standard procedure. I'm mad about it because my carpet is clean! Oh we'll I will be happy when its over. I'm getting very excited already. I want to land now!

Oh wow! It's crunch time now! But you'll have it soon behind you!

They really charge you for shampooing? I guess if they did it when you moved in, it makes sense. It's not that difficult to do it yourself with the rental ones from grocery/hardware store. Once everything is out of the apartment, it's really quick. Depends on how much the landlord is charging you.

Hang in there :)

Ya I offered to do it myself but they have a stupid policy.
You guys have mot things ready I can understand why the wait is getting annoying. My copr said they cannot extend its validity under any reason. It doesn't expire until August be at this point I don't want to risk anything. You never know, things are changing in the world. If there were to be a war or anything like that, I want to be with my hubby and not stuck alone, lol
