A Difficult Day

Tomorrow morning hubby and I are flying up to Fort St John in the morning - and by morning I mean the plane is supposed to leave at 6am. Damn early. I was quite excited about this as it will be the first get-a-way we have had together for a very long time... Not to mention the fact that I am anxious to find a house so that we can get on with things and move already! Our house here sold before it went on the market (whew) but so far we have put in some offers on a house up north but we haven't gotten anywhere!

However, today as my friends were saying goodbye and wishing us good-luck up north - it really hit home and felt like we were REALLY saying good-bye... so all day I have been kind of sad, looking around at everything like it is the last time I will see it.

I am going to miss the ladies that I have become friends with, here in Ladysmith. They are so very fun and interesting and easy to be with - they have promised to take me dancing before we move, I hope we get the chance.

Taking my kids on the ferry to my in-laws house was also hard... as much as the ferry can suck (big time) it can also be a beautiful trip, which it was today... It was a gorgeous day, beautiful blue skies, and about 12 degrees... the water was smooth as glass... it is too beautiful for words... although no dolphin sightings today!

And then there is the Lagoon... I love the Lagoon. Ever since we first moved here and my daughter insisted that it was the Magoon, even to the point where she would spell it out, with an "M". Most days driving over the Lagoon we see a seal and a wide variety of birds, or else it is low tide and the Lagoon beach/mud pit stretches way out. We even put our little boat in at the Lagoon a few times and had to go under the bridge to go for the boat ride... sigh.

Well this post isn't making much sense or flowing very well, but that is too bad because I don't feel up to it today. But tomorrow is a new day and hopefully we will find a house that we like and will enjoy our weekend away... I think it is time to get on with things and move on, because the longer we stay here the harder it is getting...
