moveageddon

disclaimer:  i probably should be documenting this as i hope and pray we are never this unhappy/frustrated/tormented ever again.

we have sold our house.

we have decided not to move to the states {!?!?!?!}


why have we made this decision after selling our house/spent thousands of dollars obtaining my green card/living our lives like we are about to move for the last 2 years {!?!?!?!}  good question.  does it really matter at this point in time?

no.

i know it sounds completely mental.  frankly, that is exactly how we both feel right now.  mental.  and because we feel mental every daily decision is worried over, scrutinized and second guessed.  it is just about the worst possible place you can be.  MEGA-SELF CONSCIOUS-MENTAL-LIMBO.  

that being said {the above was written at least 24 hours ago....},

today we feel great.  we have made the decision to stay and we feel like we have a whole new lease on life.  new outlook!  new zest!  a sense and deep appreciation for what we have!  we are staying!  we are living!  we are happy and calm!  life is good.

let's start enjoying it.

calgary, alberta, you are a good place.  let's be best friends.

Statement and then a question.

S - Great! Re-Welcome! Once you emotionally invest in the GWN, you'll like it. Hair up during winter. nbd.

Q - How do you sell your house, liquidate a lot of your possessions, including tables and custom lounger, and not move. Astounding! Wildcards. All of you.

I am sure you are making the best decision for your family. Now that I know you're staying.....we can maybe come visit you? I've never been to Canada and it would be fun to come up there sometime. :)
