Saying Goodbyes

The past two weeks have been pretty crazy as far as getting myself together for this move. I've been trying to keep a mental checklist of everything I need to do but I end up starting a new mental checklist every ten minutes so it's been a bit of a tizzy I must admit. I've also had a wrench thrown into my plans with my proposed living situation falling through which was shocking but also admittedly fine for me. I kind of enjoy the idea of going and checking out the places in person upon my arrival. I've already set up a viewing so I'm looking forward to that.

Saying goodbye to friends and family has most definitely been the hardest part about this move so far. Saying goodbye to all of my work friends was brutal. I met quite a few people between both jobs who I would definitely consider friends as well as all of my current friends. I've been lucky enough to spend a good amount of time with all of these wonderful people but saying goodbye is always super hard. Saying all of these goodbyes has also reminded me of how much love and support I'll always have here.

I've been overwhelmed with all of the well wishes, love, and support, I've received over the past few weeks. I couldn't be more grateful for all of these wonderful people and I'm looking forward to periodic visits over the next two years from some of them. A little taste of home while I'm away will be most welcome.

Tonight is the very last night I'll be sleeping in my bed at home. It's quite a surreal feeling. I've moved a handful of times prior to this but this one seems a bit more legit. I'm moving across the world, kind of different. Lot's of things going through my mind at the moment but I think I'm ready. I'll be heading to my grandma's house in Owen Sound to spend a few days with her and my family prior to flying out. I'm expecting a lot of laughs, some peace and serenity before the storm, and some time to reflect. 

It's time to truly say goodbye, not forever of course, but for now. I'll miss my friends and fam so very much but I expect to stay close to them while I'm away. Here's to new adventures!


HAPPY VEG
