This is the view of our entire household going off into storage in a BigSteelBox. As of July 1, 2013 the Harapnuiks are homeless once again. The last time we were homeless was when we moved back from Texas in 2010 and spent part of June traveling and most of July at the Trestle Mountain Bike Park in WinterPark Colorado. We finally made it up to Edmonton in August and stayed with family because we were not able to move into our rental property until the end of September.
Technically we do not have a home so we can say we are homeless but we do have places to stay so we aren’t out on the street. Marilyn, Levi and Caleb are spending the month at Silver Creek Lodge at Silver Star Mountain just outside Vernon where the boys will be spending their days downhill biking and their nights licking their wounds from the days events.
Marilyn will be keeping the boys patched up and fed and should be able to catch up on some reading, paperwork and start searching for our new home. It would make it easier for her if we had some sense of where we were going to end up.
Marilyn and the boys will be spending part of August with family in Chilliwack and Abbotsford and then the latter part of August and September in Whistler where the boys will continue their downhill biking. There will also be a trip back to Edmonton and southern Alberta and BC at the end of August because Caleb may be getting his braces off and the boys have the final down hill race of the year at Fernie.
I am also not really homeless but am renting a VERY small room and am sharing a kitchen and bath with two other people in a small rental house just off the BCIT Burnaby campus where I have a temporary contract to provide Instructional Development Consultation until the end of November.
We are hoping to have a better sense of what my work prospects will be by early September and are planning to rent a house in some part of the lower mainland of BC to stay close to all the biking resources in and around Whistler, Squamish and the North Shore.
