The Long & The Short

Holy cow! I thought I had written something but apparently I didn't! So here is the long and the short. Since I last blogged in February.... I moved to Canada. And in 6 short days will be married! I will write of the whole planning of a wedding which has been rather insane and wild!

I'm marrying a totally awesome and wonderful man named Glen Allardyce! He is utterly great, highly lovable, and is absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me!

15 Days

It's fifteen days until I move to Canada! Wow! I'm starting the drive up on the 28th. I may have to stop and spend the night in a hotel about halfway up, but , if I do, I do. Though if I get a good night's sleep on the 27th, I shouldn't have a problem.

It'll just really depend on how I feel at the time. Still... Canada! in 15 short days. I can hardly wait.

A Sea Of Boxes

My little townhouse is now a sea of boxes as I pack for my move to Canada! The official move date! March 1st. It's a Sunday and should be a good move time for me because I won't be dealing with any of the rush hour traffic! My path will take me past Pittsburgh.

One of the reasons I love Canada is that if something ever were to happen to my mother, I would have very little trouble bringing Corkie and Bootsie up from The States. Canada only requires a good shot record and both of them have it as my mom takes excellent care of them. Corkie is more her and mine's dog but I live in an apartment and Mom lives out in the country so he has the opportunity to run (though we have had to discourage his pack tendency since it got him in a heap of trouble when he and his friends chose to kill a neighbors goat!

Glen loves the breed that Corkie is and has had that breed before (his lived 16 year and the avg for the breed combination is 10). Pita won't love the drive up so I'm rather dreading it. Poor baby. But we'll figure out something to manage. I'll burn a CD of 13 hours worth of music to listen to on the way up.

Anyway all is progressing as it should be. It's amazing how fast time is flying!

ACK!!!! The Really Long Update

Ok.. my trip to Canada that I was supposed to be taking in November of 2008 was postponed. I actually went to Canada on January 23rd and I had a really awesome time! I was picked up from the airport by Glen and I stayed at his place. We went to a Robert Burns Supper, and had a general all around great, fantastic, wonderful time.

Glen is totally wonderful!

I am moving to Canada at the end of this month to the first of next month. I've started packing my stuff. I really love Canada! OMG! I can't wait to see the country-side in the Spring and Summer. I'm really pushing myself hard to get up there.

So this is really something that is very exciting for me. It's logistically challenging and I admit I do have my twinges of pure unadulterated fear. But it's fear that is born mostly of the fact that I don't like taking risks. However, how does a person grow if they are not willing to take risks and jump out of their comfort zone you know? They don't. If I stayed secluded and safe, never taking risks, I would not be the woman I am today.

I stood before a crowd of 20 and read a toast before them. Something that I would never have done if I had never been part of a leads group and pushed myself to get accustomed to speaking in front of a crowd of my business peers.

So with this, I will close and I'll try not to let it go so long before my next update.
