It's been a really long time since I blogged.
I'm going to try and make it a regular thing again though.
Lets get down to the main updates in my life.
We sold our house and moved to Courtenay BC.
We LOVE our house and we LOVE it here.
I do think we made the right decision.
We are surrounded by mountains, have 2 gorgeous beaches within 15 minutes of our house and numerous other ones within a 40 minute drive.
This is the life I wanted.
But I miss my family...
This summer was pretty hard for me since my family from Yellowknife drives to Saskatoon to visit the rest of our family (we have a HUGE family, my grandparents had 14 kids!) And since we moved to BC I wasn't able to make it to Saskatoon this year to visit. That's the only time to see my sister and her kids usually, and I had a hard time since I missed that this year :(
I'm also missing the fact that I lived close enough to my person (Linda) to drive out on weekends if I wanted to.
I can't do that anymore.
And I feel like we have been talking less, which is probably my fault, and I want to change that.
But I know the next time I am gonna see her is probably next summer at my sisters wedding. That makes me super sad.
The boys have no friends here. Although I have been going out to "playgroups" with moms with older kids, and at least socializing the boys. But Aiden sure misses his friends.
I'm hoping it will get better for him once school starts up soon.
They do enjoy all the outdoor things we get to do though.
I am currently looking for part time work. I think it will be good for me to get out and get back to working. Both boys will be in full day's at school. If I work part time I can be there to drop them off and pick them up, and not feel completely stressed out.
I may get into some full time work eventually, but for now, this is what works for us.
I haven't been regretting my choice to move here.
But the fact that I miss my family is a problem for me some days.
I feel like I have been taking it out on Rob, and it's not doing good things for our relationship..
That's all I'm really gonna say about that, because I think we had a really good talk the other night and cleared the air.
We have been together for 9 years, I think by now I know that we can fight hard, but love harder.
It all works out in the end. You just need respect.
On the weight loss front, I gained all... ALL of my weight back.. I'm super embarrassed, and feel gross.
This past week I lost 4lbs. I can do this again!
Most of my clothes don't fit anymore, and I refuse to buy new bigger clothes again.
It'll get better.
