So, things have been going on in my life that I have been reluctant
to blog about because … I don’t know, I guess mostly because blogging
about it takes time, and I am lazy. And also, blogging about it just
makes it more REAL, you know? (Funny that that makes it MORE real ...)
Anyway, the basic thing is that my job is now over. Well, it will be very soon. As in December 31st was supposed to be my last day. And then it was changed to Jan 6 was my last day – the 31st would still be my last day at work, but Jan 6th
would be the day I turned in my badge and stuff and then I would have
just had that last week as vacation because I have so much vacation
built up! SO MUCH VACATION! I digress.
So, the 6th was
supposed to be my last day but then I was flying home for vacation and I
got this phone call while I was in the air from my boss and she left a
message saying that they had had some meetings about the project and
have a few more things for me to do and would I be able to stay until
mid to late Feb? So, now I am not exactly sure of my last day, but I
know that it will be soon.
I am planning when I am done to move
back to my original home, Southern Alberta (yeah, the same place where
the photo in my background was taken). And I am actually really excited for
the most part. It will be different – I have lived in the US for a long
long time now (10 years) and it has been pretty much all my adult life,
so that will be odd – but I just know that is the right decision for
me. My other option was to move to Pitt and continue working for my
boss, which would have had a lot of benefits (like I would have had a
job) but I just didn’t feel right about that. And I might be crazy – I
am moving to a place I haven’t lived in a long time and I want to get a
job in a field I have never worked in before and there are moments where
I am FREAKING OUT but I still feel like it is right, you know? I have
felt for a long time like I needed something new and this is going to be
the perfect way to get that - new place, new job, new friends, new
Ward. Yay (yikes!)
Heh, my bishopric found out that I am leaving and they want me to give a talk before I go. So the day is Jan 29th, the same day that a guy in our Ward is giving his farewell talk before going on his mission.
Anyway,
that is the main reason I have been putting off posting for so long (obviously not the only reason since this stuff hasn't been going on for as long as I haven't posted) – I
just wasn’t sure the best way to write about all this stuff and for a
long time I was so unsure about what was even going on. Go ahead and
call me crazy if you want, but I don’t care, I know I am and I still
know I am right. Also, send good vibes this way. And if you know anyone
hiring send them my way too :D

We will miss you! I hope you enjoy your move, sometimes it is nice to have a change.
Wow, I've been out of touch. This sounds like a hard change to make, but I don't think you are crazy. Hang in there. Keep applying to PA school... maybe... ya think? Maybe you can stop by Wenatchee on your way to Canada or we can have an excuse to go up to Canada?
Wow...I guess that it's official. You are going back to Canada. I hope that things work out for you, and that it ends up being a positive experience. If all else fails, I can always hire you as a nanny so that you can live back in the states illegally. Keep smiling girl. Everything will work out.
