Big week

We have an exciting week coming up. We are taking advantage of the long holiday weekend to head back to Wisconsin to see family and pack up the rest of our stuff in Madison. Then we will drive back to Calgary in the moving truck. We fly to Chicago on Wednesday night and hope to be back in Calgary the following Wednesday night. Today we have been rearranging our small amount of furniture to make room for the items that will be coming.

Our plan is to drive home via Winnipeg to visit RTCs family and rest for a day. However, the flooding on the Red River may prevent this. We will be following the weather forecasts and road conditions closely and make a decision next weekend. We aren't too keen on floating away in our moving truck, though I suppose we would be stocked with provisions for awhile.

In other news, the weather in Calgary has been terrible all weekend and looks to continue that way until mid-week. It isn't horribly cold, but it has been snowing. Yesterday we tried to go skiing, but saw at least four vehicles that had skidded off the road and rolled over, so we decided to turn back for home. I am hopeful that when we return from our trip that the weather will have taken a turn and spring will finally be here--to stay!
