This year we are doing something different for Ian's 8th birthday party.  Every year we've rented a pavilion at the park and had a huge BBQ, crafts, a bounce house, games, gift bags for the kids... and we are NOT doing it this year. I've had enough planning, getting nervous, being upset that people don't show up, listening to Ian's broken heart year after year. So, we're going to have a low-key party here at the house with family and one friend of his whom he has known for 6 years.

Okay, truth be told I'd probably do the park again, except for the fact that with all the evaluations, new medication that he's going to start, and getting hearing aids, I think that's enough excitement for him to process. We don't know how he's going to respond to any of the above, so I'd rather not push him. Plus, as long as he's fine with having a party with family only, then so be it!

I remember when I decided to move to Florida, the amount of anxiety I felt about finding an apartment. I had never done anything like that before, so you can imagine how nervous I was! Luckily I found a reputable company to help me, and that made all the difference.

Anyone looking for Calgary apartments can find the same comfort I did when looking for a new place to live. Their website is really user-friendly; all you have to do is click on the area of Calgary your interested in, and you are able to see prices of houses, apartments, etc., in that area, as well as view pictures, and prices. It cuts down on time you'd spend searching yourself, that's for sure!
