We did it! Stage one of our move is complete. Right now we are staying with Renee's parents in Nova Scotia. The plan is to remain here for a few months until we get Life 3.0 off the ground (i.e. have a reliable income) and then embark on stage two by moving to the Gaspe peninsula in Quebec.
Let me tell you that this has been a LOT of work! More than we ever imagined. Not only that, but we still have too much stuff. We thought we were doing good (and we probably are), but we now feel challenged to step up our game even more and reduce our load. Want to see what it took to get that load from the USA to Canada? Check out our video...

Yeah it does feel good, but
Yeah it does feel good, but it is so different than what we left that there is really no feeling of "coming home" here. We were from Alberta, now we are in Nova Scotia, it is like night and day. It does feel good to be pursuing our new life though.

The "And we're off" scene
The "And we're off" scene gave me the goose bumps! It must have been so hard thinking you'll never be in that house again, but at the same time a relief to finally be moving on after all the planning. You did it! Congratulations :0)
