August 1st came and went and Rhys and I
mostly went our separate ways-
I split my time between my mom and
dad's farm and camping at
Koocanusa and Rhys spent the work week
at his parents and then joined me on the
weekends wherever we were.
We golfed a ton in August! Although
August had some major drawbacks it also gave
me new perspective. I no longer feel the desire
to move back to Lethbridge. This is
something I've struggled with for years.
I have always wanted to move back
but between a new relationship
{Rhys and I just started dating when I finished school},
finding a job, Rhys finding a job,
and having steady employment in Calgary, things
just never seemed to line up.
What I realized moving back is that,
Lethbridge is no longer "home".
Of course it would be nice to have family around
on a daily or even weekly basis, but Rhys
and I have made our little life and we
are doing okay on our own. Maybe that
realization will change again when
we have babies and no support system here in
Calgary, but for now Calgary is home
until we figure the next move. September
hit and we needed a place to
crash until we figured out the next move so off we
went with my parents fifth wheel in
tow, and ended up in Okotoks!
We are currently camping until we sort out
the next house move. Overall it's been an
adventure. It's not been without its drawbacks
but it certainly has it's perks. We are
learning to live with less, getting used to
sharing space again, and being more
patient with the lack of personal space.
It's only been 5 weeks so I don't want
to jump the gun, but I really feel like this might
have been the best thing that's happened to us.
