Moving

Sometime in the spring or early summer (if all goes well) we're hoping to move back to Saskatoon. MJ is a really nice small city and I do love it here in general but there are a few reasons to move back.

1. We can't live with B's parents anymore. They're wonderful people but moving in with one's parents after one is an adult is hard. Word of advice to everyone: NEVER MOVE BACK IN WITH YOUR PARENTS. I'm sure we'd have the same issue if it were my parents.

2. We don't know anyone here and I don't know how to meet people. Our social place is the church and it's all old people there. We need friends our own age. We especially need to know people who have children the same age as our own child. G needs friends! I'm determined that she not be shy like me. I wasn't too shy when I was little (believe it or not). We need to set down roots in a place where we can be assured that G won't be lonely.

I've moved a lot in my life. I was born in Burnaby, BC. I lived in Burnaby, Coquitlam, Vancouver, Surrey, Prince George, Toronto, Maple Creek, Grande Prairie, Saskatoon, and Moose Jaw. I have never in my life lived anywhere longer than 4 years. I'm hoping that this move sticks. I don't want to be moving G around for her whole life. It's hard on a kid. I'm positive that it's the constant moving that has damaged my social skills.

I actually signed onto here planning to write a post about something entirely different but I was reminded of our (hopefully!) impending move and thus was moved to write this.
