It was great to visit with the future in laws who live four provinces away via Skype to plan our family vacation this summer. And it is so wonderful to be able to send links to let them see our favourite attractions and places to eat. It just helps so much to make the trip come alive and the planning that much more fun!Surprisingly (and totally "inpredictable"), yesterday's blog was just the kick in the pants that my life long buddy needed to get in touch - albeit shortly - just to let me know I am not forgotten and that he still loves me. A quick text message - so yay! for technology... and a little bit of guilt.
I am also thankful that I love the paramedic so much that I am able to practice some self restraint. As I began the arduous task of packing our stuff up for the move, from his perch on the couch, the paramedic today casually recalled that his union pays for a move once every three years. That's right! With planning and prior approval, our move would have been taken care of from start to finish by a capable moving company... and we'd have been more popular with our family and friends.
On another note: why are teacher's deemed spoiled by the general public? No one pays for our moves?!?!? And, I'm sure for all the teacher bashers out there, paramedics are just glorified tax drivers... ;-).
