This is it, it is official, I received the paperwork today. We are moving to Oromocto, New Brunswick and we have to be there by December 16th.

So many things to do in so little time.

First we need to get a pre-approved mortgage, then do a house hunting trip. It is not obvious, but we will have but a week to find a house for the next few years. It is usually a decision that take months to make, in our case we have about a week to make it.

When we have the house we need to plan all that is moving related. Calling the mover, deciding on a date, getting all the information for the schools. etc…

We will need to get all our service disconnected, phone, electricity, satellite etc.

Then when all the stuff is gone, we need to clean the house from top to bottom. So the next 2.5 months will be quite busy. Then we start over when we get to the destination. Unpacking everything, getting all the services back. Getting the kids back in school…

Kim and Alain are happy with the move. Vincent has decided to stay in Newfoundland, so he will not come with us in New Brunswick. I am not quite sure what he has planned, I just hope it is for the best.

Probably a few headaches ahead, but it’s going to be an adventure.

Ça y est, c’est officiel, j’ai reçu les papiers aujourd’hui. On demenage a Oromocto, Nouveau-Brunswick et on doit etre la avant le 16 decembre.

Donc il y aura surement quelques maux de tête, mais c’est quand même comme une nouvelle aventure.

I received the news yesterday. We are getting transferred. We are going to Oromocto, New-Brunswick. We have been waiting 20 years to get closer to home and the family. This is finally going to happen. I have mixed feeling about it. I am quite happy to get closer to home, but in the meantime it feels funny as we have called Newfoundland home for the past 20 years.

We will be closer to our family, 6hrs drive from Quebec City and 8 hrs from Montreal. The best part is no more ferry.

Oromocto is located in the south part of New Brunswick, about 20 minutes drive from Fredericton.

With that comes all the work associated with moving. We need to find and buy a new house. We need to clean this one, get the movers in, etc….

So lots of work in a short period of time. Basically we have 3 months to get to our new location.

The kids are excited about the move and quite happy.

A big adventure.

I will keep you updated of what is going on with this.

J’ai reçu des nouvelles hier. On est transferré. On s’en va a Oromocto au Nouveau-Brunswick. On a attendu 20 ans pour se rapprocher un peu de la maison et de la famille. Ca va finalement se realiser. Des fois j’ai des émotions partagés à propos de ça. Je suis très content de me rapprocher mais en même temps, ca va faire drole parce qu’on a quand même appellé Terre-Neuve notre chez nous depuis les 20 dernières années.

On va etre plus proche de la famille, a peu pres 6h de route de la ville de Québec et de 8 hres de Montréal. Ce qui est vraiment bien, c’est qu’on n’aura plus de traversier à prendre.

Oromocto est situé dans la partie sud du Nouveau-Brunswick, environ 20 minutes de route de Fredericton.

Mais avant de partir on a pas mal d’ouvrage a faire pour le demenagement. On va devoir aller se trouver une nouvelle maison. On a besoin de nettoyer celle ci, faire venir les demenageurs, etc …

Donc on a beaucoup de travail dans une période de temps assez courte. En fin de compte, on a 3 mois pour se rendre a notre nouvel emplacement.

Les enfants sont pas mal excités et contents du transfert.

Une grande aventure quoi!

Je vous tiendrai au courrant de ce qui se passe.
