    They Came!!

    Written by Tamara on July 27, 2009 in News

    Our Boxes Came!We felt like we were in a countdown until Christmas as Caleb and Jessica counted down the “approximate” days it would take for our much loved possessions to arrive from Australia. After all, I guess it was like having “Christmas in July”.

    It was the BEST feeling ever to see the delight on our children’s faces and a bitter sweet moment for us as this was the last “logistical” part of our big move…other than the settling bit of course which will come.

    We had to check over the boxes thoroughly to ensure nothing was damaged for insurance purposes and thanks to God everything arrived in a amazing condition! So much so that we could use the boxes again. But, right now that’s not even funny.

    What have we here?Thank you to those of you that prayed with us for this part of our move. We were rather nervous to say the least due to the nature of goods we  had shipped….special keepsakes and Caleb and Jessica’s favourite toys.

    In total it took 102 days and travelled close to 12302.6 Kilometres / 6638.5 Nautical Miles!!

    Courier van in Townsville – Shipping company in Townsville – Truck to Brisbane Port – Cargo carrier to Vancouver  Port (passing US waters so thus hiking up the price…GRRR!!) – Customs clearance – Truck to Calgary shipping warehouse – Customs clearance again – Courier truck to our NEW HOME and VERY excited children!!
