Yes, it's official. We're moving to Calgary. I can still hardly believe it. I'm still dealing with very mixed emotions, but I'm starting to be more excited than sad now....so that's a good thing. I just have to force myself to stop thinking about all of the things and people I'm going to miss and focus on the positive things our family is going to gain. Trev and I are so excited that we'll finally be able to live together like a "normal" family.....after 10 years!!! And Trev's pretty excited to finally be able to watch his boys grow up.
We told the boys about 2 weeks ago now. Seth was quite sad at first but he's actually completely warmed up to the idea and is very positive about it now. Jonah and Sam are taking a little longer. At first Sam was very determined that he was going to kindergarten here with "Mrs. Kauenhofen" and said that if we move to Calgary, she has to teach him kindergarten there. So cute. He's more used to the idea now. And Jonah....well...he was his usual quiet self about it. One evening Seth was listing the positive things about moving and then Jonah started listing the negative things. And he actually really listed them. He said: "number 1: I'll miss my friends at school, number 2: I'll miss my family, number 3: I won't get to live in my room in the basement, and number 4: it won't feel like home". Then he got all teary eyed and I hugged him and asked him if he would miss his cousin Troy. WELL....then the tears came. I felt so sorry for him and we both cried. Ahhh....such emotions all around. He's been ok since then and I think he's getting used to the idea as well.
I know there's still a process of letting go of all the familiar but I also know that there's good things ahead. This is where God wants to take us and He has good plans for us.
So Trev is starting his new job in June and we'll move over the summer. Yikes!! So much to do in just a few months!!
