Have you ever had so much to do you don't even know where to start? That is where I'm (Kelly) at with this house and moving business. I've walked around my house at least a dozen times with a note pad trying to make lists, motivate myself to just do it ( I have a done some sorting and stuff ...), but mostly I feel like I'm going in circles, not being as efficient as I could be.
Brendan is slaving away (painting over the *pink* kitchen!) and I just asked him his answer to the new question in our profile .. he is stunned that he's hard at work and I'm playing around .. okay, so I'll get to work, I can cross a couple things of the list in the next 30 minutes or so...
We've moved

don't forget to update your link if you have one.
Thanks for reading!
Ever wonder why the title: Never the Same Page? Brendan and I started the blog together, and what is the truest thing about us? We are almost never on the same page about things. We are as opposite as opposites get. TomAto, TomAHto... but we decided a long time ago not to call the whole thing off :)

A day on the roller coaster ...
So today was a big day, I (Kelly) am still winding down my job at Variety and there feels like a million loose ends to tie up. I know that my replacement, Charlotte, will do a great job and that's a blessing.
I am going to Hepburn next week to do some training there before the person I'm taking over for moves on, its actually good timing as Bren will be focused on house prep, Syd is at camp, and Owen is helping out with VBS at church all week - they won't even notice I'm gone!
We're really hoping that our house can be sold privately, with all the crazy bidding wars on homes in Winnipeg right now we're thinking that we might be able to find the family who wants to avoid all that and just buy a house.... we'll see! We've put the feelers out, hopefully something positive will come about, if not we'll hopefully list it in late July or early Aug. at the latest.
Brendan and I put the finishing touches on our 'family values' tonight - we started to draft this last fall. They're below...
Another big day tomorrow - can't wait to have lunch with Ang Doerksen! Have you ever looked up "INSPIRING" in the dictionary? There's a photo of Ang right beside the definition. And Ben, if you're reading this, Brendan is very pleased that you're home for the summer - he missed you all the time, but especially on Wednesday nights!

hEEELPP!!!
Hi there, if you have read the above post you'd know that we are quickly approaching a move. As some of you know I(brendan) like to dismantle things and take my sweet time putting them back together. I have now officially run out of that time. So if any of you skilled workers out there are feeling bored and would like some good company, feel free to give me a call and we can set something up. We hope to have the house on the market by the endof July, so now is the time if you are interested.

The Big Decision
Well, we've been wanting to create a blog for several months, and we're finally getting around to it. This is a new experience, so forgive us for faking our way through this as we figure out all the details of this new adventure in staying connected to friends and family.
We have a reason to want to get this blog going - our family is embarking on a new adventure this summer. I've (Kelly) accepted a position in finance at Bethany College in Hepburn, Saskatchewan, so we'll be moving before the school year starts this fall. It's about 30 minutes north of Saskatoon, and right now we're thinking we'll live in Hepburn, although that remains to be seen.
I'm posting this literally hours after accepting the job, so there is a lot more unknown than known at this point, but one thing we're sure about is that this is a good direction for our family - but we also recognize all that we're leaving behind: a wonderful, close knit extended family, great schools for our kids, an amazing church family, great jobs, friends that we treasure, a great house in a community that we love... the list goes on and on.
Here is some of what we know we're gaining: an experience that will strengthen our family - together and as individuals, an opportunity for Brendan to (finally!) pursue that post secondary education he's always wanted to, a chance to work in a Christian setting where community, leadership, and service are the emphasis... this list goes on and on too!
We're planning to record some of the adventure here, so come back and visit often. We'll all be posting, so you never know what you'll get! Once I figure out how to load photos, we'll put some up ... in the meantime, does anyone know someone who is looking for a cozy little house in Winnipeg's beautiful inner city?!?!? Quick possession available!
