as the world turns...
or some such thing. You know the story so far. Boy meets girl. Boy and girl move away. Boy marries girl... and now boy and girl move back. Yes. Back to Calgary after three years of living in B.C.
We now have eight days to finish packing up our lives out here, load up the dreaded uHaul truck and begin the slow drive over the mountains. And then there's the small task of starting our lives all over again (again). At least this time, the long distance move is leading us to a city we know and love, filled with family and friends we love (but pretend we don't know sometimes). Just kidding. It will be wonderful to be back!
There's the usual stresses involved with long distance moves including unreliable moving equipment, hot weather, and traveling with our cat, which makes us wonder why we don't just pay a moving company to deal with all of this (well, except for the cat)?! And then there's the not-so-usual issues that we will face this time because we aren't moving into our own place. And no, we aren't moving in with our parents either. We will be house sitting for Blake for quite a while. Which has wonderful positives, but also some hassles, like where are we going to put all our stuff?! These things will all get worked out eventually.
The job situation is the greatest point of stress though. Mostly for me because Marcus is already set for work. I will no longer be doing keywording work for Veer. I'm determined to get a job in the arts and not fall back into the retail management trap. There's nothing super wrong with retail management, it's just not for me though. I need something more. We'll see how it all goes.
Wish us luck! We're really gonna need it!
