Socialism Rocks!

The girls and I slept in this morning while Jeramy headed to work. It was good to do something normal! :)

Once we got up and got dressed the three of us had breakfast down in the hotel restaurant. Ryleigh had hot chocolate. I think the favorite thing about this place to her is that they serve hot chocolate almost everywhere that we go. She says that it makes her ears warm...so cute. After breakfast we did a little car investigating, but had to rush back to the hotel so Jeramy could go take a physical to make sure he is fit enough to visit a rig in the North Sea. He passed just fine and dandy and we even scored some good preschool names from his doctor. Not that we can visit any tomorrow, it's going to be a holiday. Canada Day, which is sort of like our 4th of July. After his doctor's visit he came and picked us back up at the hotel and we headed to the local university for my appointment with the graduate studies department. I had a great meeting and even got to meet a few profs from the Geography department. I'm feeling totally psyched and it is going to be amazingly affordable. I'm going to shoot for enrollment in the spring semester.

After we wrapped up there we went to a few more car dealerships and I picked my ride.....mama got a Land Rover. It too was amazingly affordable, much cheaper than the Toyota Highlander I had my heart set on...and better gas mileage! Then Jeramy sealed the deal on his vehicle and the poor boy that has been driving a Jetta ever since I started staying home finally got his Tundra. For those that remember him, Dusty Wayne (brown stepside truck from our younger years) has finally been replaced. We wrapped up the day with dinner and now we're getting ready for bed and regrettably, starting to pack.

I can't believe how quickly the week has gone. We've accomplished most all of our goals. The only thing that we haven't gotten to is looking for a preschool, but since tomorrow is a holiday, that will have to wait until we return. Tomorrow we plan on just joining in on the festivities and enjoying our last day here....until next time.
