Man… I feel old…
We are leaving next week and I am getting more and more nervous…I get a queasy feeling each time I think about it… and with all that I need to prepare I have been feeling really queasy lately… especially now that Xavier’s party has past and now it is the only thing I need to think about…
There is just something nerve wracking about leaving our home for about 5-6 weeks… leaving our comforts, our routine, our beds etc…
I am nervous about staying at my mom and her bf’s house… they are not used to kids… let alone 3 energetic boys…
We don’t go on many trips… though I love to travel… and I know that everything will be great and that I am going to love the time that I spend there… it is just weird… leaving with three kids is no where like leaving alone….
but though I am nervous… I really am looking forward to being in BC, seeing old friends, having them meet my kids… meeting theirs… I can’t wait to meet Annie who I talk to almost everyday on the phone and is pretty my best friend even though we have never met in person…
I think that one thing that makes me nervous also is that I love BC so much I really have trouble leaving each time I go back…
Really though… to be honest with myself…
I think that I am a bit nervous that I will get back here and be even more unhappy about living here… and I really don’t want that…
And that makes you feel old?! 😀
I imagine it’s going to be a whirlwind and a lot more work with the boys. At least you’ll be with family and friends and not just on your own in hotels. I’m excited to meet you too! I’m really looking forward to all that we can do here. I’m also looking forward to spending every waking minute of your being here trying to convince you to move. At least that was the plan. I’d hate to contribute to any hard feelings you’d get going home though but I bet you’ll enjoy sleeping in your own bed again when the time comes! And hey, maybe you’ll be sick of me and want to go home by then!
I half understand… it was incredibly tough to leave the little town I was working in to come back to Brandon. All the things I had to do in order to get myself ready and making sure the house would be alright for the weeks I am gone. It’s always tough to leave places you really love.
All that aside, I hope you have a really great trip! Enjoy every minute, and I can’t wait to read all about it.
Going away for 5-6 weeks! That’s what I’ve been dreaming of…. for a long time. We had planned to go this summer but it looks like we’ll be waiting another year yet so I’m jealous. When I think of how much harder it is to just get up and go now it makes me feel old too:) I’m fairly sure it’s also related to being farther from the scenery I so enjoy though.
I hope you enjoy your trip and visiting Annie. You already know by now that she’s great and I’m sure you’ll have fun times!
Hopefuly when you get back you’ll have a new resolve to make the most of the time you have left in Quebec while counting down your return to BC!
