Going Home!

As some of you know, I have spent the last two weeks in Ontario visiting my family and friends. Today is (finally) my last day.

I grew up here. The farthest I ever moved away was an hour for college. I never even thought about moving farther than that. There are a few people who I am super close to here: my mom, my little brother, my best friend and my 13 year old cousin. These are the people I miss moat when I am in Alberta. Of course I have other miscellaneous family and friends who I miss, but those 4 people are the ones who make my heart ache from time to time. They are the ones I will hug and cry when I say goodbye.

Unfortunately, there are also a lot of negative people here. A lot of family drama. A lot of frustration and things being made to feel like they are just "too hard". Life/relationships shouldn't be that much of a struggle. Of course, nothing here has changed, it is me that has changed. My life has changed.

Moving to Alberta was the best thing I ever could have done. I am so happy there. Happier than I think I have been in ... well ever.

It has been a bitter sweet trip. On the one hand I have enjoyed spending so much time with those people I mentioned. There have been some great moments. I also enjoyed eating some treats that I just can't get in Alberta. But there have also been some pretty low points. And of course, I miss Asslvr.

Things I miss at home:
-My kitties
-My bed
-My bestie
-My job (have I mentioned I really love my job!
-My circle of friends
-My daily routine
and of course
-ASSLVR!

I can't wait to get home tomorrow and be surrounded by love and happiness and support. These trips just really confirm what I already knew: Alberta is my home. And that is where I belong.

Speaking of support, I want to especially thank the following people for checking in on me, being there for me and sending me encouraging thoughts while I was here:

Abusive Master, Ice Maiden, pt26, Baby puppy, Sasahara, MarvHarvey, Sir Sam, Princess.Ashley, Naughttlittlegirl and probably so many more that I am forgetting.

I especially want to thank Jaroface for continuing to encourage me and for being understanding as my time has been taken up by visiting and events and then my spare time was used to recover rather than give him attention.

And I also need to thank my rock; Asslvr. There is no way I could get through this without his love and support. I love you so much and can't wait to get home to you.
