Yes it’s crazy but true – I’m moving out to Victoria B.C. in just a few short weeks. The realization has hardly set in for me, nonetheless boxes are being packed and arrangements are being made for our family to move to Victoria. Many of my friends are asking “Where are you going to live?” “What’s your house like?” to which my response is that we DON’T have a home yet. LOL! We’ll be renting for awhile to get to know the area and ensure we’re in the district that appeals most to our family. We have to hurry and get the kids settled before school starts so the race is on.
This week I’m heading out to the Island with my hubby and Lola in tow to seek out a home for rent. I’ve only visited Victoria once before, I don’t know anyone out there so it’s a bit scary, coupled with sheer exhilaration at the thought of such a big adventure.
If you walk around my house right now you’ll see little notes all over with two columns:
Great Things about moving to Victoria / Not So Great Things About Moving to Victoria
Missing our dear family and friends definitely lands on the right side of those lists (and right at the top). I’m not entirely sure how I’ll cope without a direct road to our parents homes within arms reach. We’ve been so blessed to be near our family the past 4 years, within an hour or so. Every few minutes my mood changes and you may catch me mid cry or mid laughter at the craziness of what we are doing.
Victoria BC is beautiful. An island surrounded by the ocean, beautiful beaches, lovely weather (goodbye Alberta winters), gardens, orchards, vineyards, whale watching, and a slower pace. My ultimate dream is to have a Palm Tree in my front yard…it’s gonna happen folks.
Hence this post is just to let all of you know that I’m here and have many things to share, however I’m not sure exactly when the posting will take place. I’ll post as I can over the next few weeks. Lots of Market Videos still to share and giveaways to well…giveaway!
