One week ago today, I was driving along the highway with my mom, west bound for BC with a Honda packed to the roof top with everything I could possibly pack up that I had accumulated over the many years. I finally started to realize the situation I was in, I was actually moving myself and everything I own to BC. Now some of you don't know this story of how I came to be driving along the road with my mom rocking out to music and enjoying the scenic beauty of the prairie fields that escalated into giant Rocky mountains surrounding us. So let's rewind...back to what would now be almost 4 weeks ago. It was a long time coming, but 4 weeks ago I finally took the steps toward moving west. The tricky thing about this decision was that Nick, my partner in crime :), has no idea I've made such a big decision without him! A surprise was unfolding as I was making preparations to arrive in BC and a week after being on my own there, Nick would return from his vacation in the States and BAM! Ta-da, I am here! Sheer Genius!
I knew along the way the truth would be stretched and covering my tracks had to become slightly tricky, but all in all I think I mastered this task quite tactfully.
I'd bypass questions like, "Are you going to visit longer this time?" or "When do you think might be the earliest you could move here?" with sly responses like "I'm going to try to be there as soon as I can" or "Maybe I will just show up one day." Answers that you'd think would spark some sort of suspicion but no, not for Nick.
The next few weeks were a blur after deciding to move, but I won't get into detail with that because it would waste your time and mine, with insignificant little details. But I will say that the past few weeks have been a true blessing being able to spend a lot of one on one time with amazing friends and family and share a lot of laughter and joy as well.
Anyways shall we get back to the driving part of things.....
