goodbyes

well, this week we (read kylie) packed up all our belongings into boxes and on friday we had our strongest friends over for a pizza and beer (and moving) party. all our wordly possessions fit onto one side of our friend chad's old milking parlour.


we covered it all in tarps and locked the bikes to the floor. goodbye possessions! we'll see you soon.


the next day we went for one final walk by the fraser river this year. goodbye island 22!

on sunday we drove out to golden to introduce niko to his new home. i forgot to take pictures of julie, but we took lots of julie's dog josh.

these pictures don't do him justice, but josh is the most handsome golden retriever we have ever met, and he is even more of an attention suck than niko. it was extremely difficult to say goodbye to niko while he was smiling and wagging his tail and wondering where we would go for a walk next; typical happy clueless niko. we know he is in good hands though and will have a great time with josh and julie and all their friends hiking and biking and pulling julie around town on my longboard. goodbye niko! we will miss having a big huggable fuzzball around.

goodbye warm smelly and green chilliwack! we will sure miss you, but soon we'll be back.

I can't believe the time has come so soon. I know that Kylie's been packing for a long time now but still...

Its crazy to see all your belongings in a pile like that isn't it? It makes it seem like there's not as many when you condense them down.

I'm sure Chilliwack has a Kylie+Marc shaped hole in it now.

Oh! I was almost crying when I read about leaving Niko behind... ahhh, the tears are coming! That must have been really hard to leave him. He'll have to start his own blog to keep you up to date on what he's doing (the challenges of living with another dog,the psychological effects of having your parents leave you behind-that sort of stuff!)
