climb on!

BC rocks! We’re so happy to be closer to our roots and finally living under the same roof. Let me tell you, it’s been a long 12 months of playing boomerang.

Earlier this week we set foot in our new place… a modest 650 sq ft suite. It has meant reducing our collection of stuff but we’re happy to be physically closer together and not have to deal with stairs or cleaning 3 bathrooms and a whole lot of underutilized space. We’re also just minutes away from great mountain biking, hiking and climbing.

Unpacking is going a bit more slowly than I might have expected but with such amazing weather we’ve had little interest in staying indoors. Our adventures haven’t been extravagant but we’ve been able to make time for 3 climbing sessions so far and tomorrow we’ll pull the rope out again.

Yay for sunshine! Yay for climbing! Yay for togetherness! And yay for being in BC again!

I hope you’re having a great summer too!

So that big change that’s on the horizon… one piece of it is school.

Today I sent my applications off to my top two choices and now because of the slowing down of our economy I’m getting ready to put together 3 more application packages… just in case it’s hard for Kevin to find the right job.  That’s going to be pretty hard to do regardless though because he’s pretty happy where he is.

Two years ago I was afraid to force a move because he truly wasn’t ready but a lot has changed in that time and he’s no longer talking about some far off time in the future when he says he wants to go back to he coast.

I’m so happy to have those applications out and know that we’ve finally taken some action towards leaving.  Our plans won’t become very firm for a few months yet but we’ve made one of the first baby step.  Yippee!
