Here goes nothing!

This is what I've been up to lately...

I am in the process of leaving home and moving across Canada, Alberta to Nova Scotia. I am working my final week as a youth counselor, a job that I have been at for two years. In the past 6 months I packed all of my earthly posessions into boxes and stored them for safe-keeping. This in itself was a daunting task. I'd spent the past 16 years in the same bedroom... I had A LOT of stuff!

In the middle of all of this, I took off to Australia for a month to backpack up the east coast. After living comfortably out of a backpack for a month, I was inspired to come home and get rid of everything that I had no use for anymore.What felt like twenty-something garbage bags later, I moved my remaining posessions into the smallest bedroom in our house and set aside what I will need on my journey across the country.

I am spending Christmas with my family, then on December 26th, I will start the 5500km drive from here to NS (Its the middle of winter, in Northern Canada, I often question my sanity). But, with good company, great music and copious amounts of Chai Tea, I will arrive at my new home.

With this arrival comes many unknowns. First off, I have not successfully found a job there (How very irresponsible of me!). Secondly... ok who am I fooling! That's about the only thing that I have yet to figure out. But it is pretty huge nonetheless. Alas, this was my way of bringing you up to date on my life plans. This being said, I will be writing for the next few weeks about my cross-country adventure! Here's hoping that the weather holds out!

Wish me luck!!
