Well i am not sure what was up with the wordpress error but i think i fixed it. I keep saying i am going to blog but i never do.. We’ll look into that in a couple days but for now i got rid of the error. Go me..

i think it’s time to make my life a little more private right now. With any luck in the next couple weeks I will get myself into more blogging and a new layout.

I have made it.

For countless years i dealt with the reality that this particular visit would eventually end. Now it feels GREAT to know that i will never have to deal with that again. Unless you’ve done this for years and experienced all this separation you’ll never truly understand the relief that i finally feel.

I dont know if it’s all the above or bring on the fact that this house is finally coming together but it feels like home here. In all my years of travelling back and forth it didnt. We had talked of ways to fix that but still it felt like some place i visited. It just feels so different here. I’m pretty sure some of has to do with the fact that i didnt expect some changes that i arrived to.

Let’s go back nearly a month though and review it for future Bev who has lost her memory of those events – i am not sure that will happen but it might (:

A month ago this past Sunday i flew to Ontario, I spent the first week with Becka, Kevin and Lucien. It was lovely to see them all again. It’s funny how you dont see someone or talk to them as often as you should but you are always able to step back into that super close relationship so easily. it was nice to getting to know Lucien and getting to spend so much with Becka.

My medical was that first week and it went off without a hitch. I had had serious panic time involving it. I live(d) in a country where we are taken care of and i guess i put too much stress on myself thinking i had some medical issue and it would be denied. … However it was simple.

Monday May 17th we went to Montreal to meet Jay at the airport. Oh how wonderful it was too see him again. We spent the next couple days catching up and sight seeing around Montreal. If it wasnt for my lack of ability to speak french i would live there. I absolutely loved it there!

Wednesday May 19th was my immigration interview, it was quite simple and once she had told us we were approved all the anxiety i had felt left. We spent the next day doing some more exploring.

The next day we headed back to Ottawa to spend more time with Becka and her peeps. Great getting to see Jay interact with them and those four days went by too quickly. We all said our goodbyes and Jay and i flew home that Sunday.

I had my visa with in a week and let me tell you it’s not as fancy as i figured it would be heh.

I spent the next couple weeks soaking up time with family and friends. The weekend before i left my sisters and mother had a small bridal shower for me. There were more family and friends there, LOVED IT even though i hate surprises.

June 5th i left for the airport. Port of Entry went well but i ended up being 12 hours late getting here. In all the years i have traveled i have never been delayed anymore than an hour so it was a little different but not a big deal.

Now here i am and we’re trying to pull everything together. The house is coming together quite nicely and my mom and aunt will arrive the 20th. I cant wait for them to get here and see why i love it so much. We currently havent put too much effort in planning the wedding. I think perhaps we should get on that this weekend. *L*

Just like with any new life i am sure there will be arguments and stress to come but currently i am more content and happy than i have ever been and i cant wait to get this show on the road. (:

So after eight months of waiting we finally have an interview date. I cant believe this is going to be my last full month here in Nova Scotia. At first the whole idea of getting an interview date two months in advance didnt do much for me. Dont get me wrong i was very pleased and excited but the two month wait sort of brought me down.

So i’ve got a little over a month before i head west. The next couple of weeks are going to spent at my aunts ALONE. It is freaking glorious being alone again. Bathing with the bathroom door open. Who knew i would enjoy that so much again. heh. Sitting around not having anyone to answer to. ohmy..

I plan to go spend a week with my dad towards the end of the month. He says we’re going fishing and spending some time at his camp. Not high on my to do list but i want to get as much time in with him before i move. Makes me sad.. I’ll have some time with my mommy in there, too.

I’m really starting to get excited about my new life. I’m not an excitable person. I am not sure why that is because i am emotional.. odd.. Anyway, It’s been a long time coming and i cant wait to be where i belong finally.

My last few posts were supposed to continue on but unfortunately i had some computer troubles the first few weeks in February. Thankfully there was a recall on Maury and all my computer issues were resolved through HP free of charge and QUICKLY once i found out about them.

Here we are in the middle of the second week of March. How time flies. Both my sister and niece had a birthday last month. Both good times, it’s hard to believe how far they have come in the last year.

As for my visa journey? Still waiting. Montreal finally logged packet three on February 3rd and we’re still waiting for an interview date. I have myself in the mind set to only call once a week to check up on that. I dont think I could take the rejection more than once per week. I’m really hoping it’s for mid to late April. I’ve been such a good waiter but i am getting quite frustrated with the whole thing. I like that people ask me often about the time and process but frankly it’s so discouraging explaining that i am still waiting for Montreal. It’s even more so knowing that people who filed in the same time frame as us are now together. ):

I spent a almost a week with my dad last week. it was rather enjoyable, as enjoyable as it can be watching someone else watch their favorite teevee shows – which in most cases you dont like. (: It’s good to see him getting better. Though he’s hoping he’ll be off until the end of the summer, this seems weird to me because he’s always been a very hard worker.

My mother had a scare with her mammogram. It ended up coming back normal but much like my dads situation it’s troubling realizing your parents wont be with you forever. My head tells me i know this and I’ll get through it but i dont think you can prepare yourself for it. It also seems like there has been so much death amoung people i know their age these past weeks. My Aunt’s husband died a few weeks back.. it was totally unexpected even though he had been sick… I thought it might be a wake up call for my dad but it doesnt seem to have helped in the least.

life…
