I wanna move to Canada.

I am at a point in my life where finding out I am moving all the way across the country is almost expected, considering my husbands job. However I still panicked when we received the news. I believe I would have taken it a little better had we had more time to prepare, but from July to October isn't much. I am one who adapts well in new situations and I am very outgoing so making friends will be no issue, plus many of my friends will be out there already. I am still trying to weigh the pros and cons of this and to be honest the pros are winning at this point.

As some of you know, I am an avid gamer, my game of choice is Call of Duty and Sam and I play with a ton of Canadians on there. Well I made the comment last weekend that I wanted to move to Canada, because honestly it sounds amazing and much like the States. Well here we go: I'm moving pretty darn close to Canada and I can visit whenever I want! Strangely I feel this is a way that the higher power is getting a kick out of my life, it is nice to see the man in the sky has a sense of humor. 

When telling my family about the big move their reactions were better than expected. My amazing mother and father are talking about possibly moving out when we have a little Seattle hipster baby. And as far as seeing my family goes, I already don't see much of them so this will be no different. My mother also reminded me of my dream of living the big city lifestyle [I always wanted Chicago, but Seattle will do, the weather seems similar..] and she said for as long as she can remember I have always wanted that, so at this point I am thinking I might just fall in love with it out there and never return to the east coast.

I am going to have my amazing husband by my side and my pookies will be along for the ride. What more can I ask for? Oh maybe my Mercedes Benz?? :) I am incredibly excited about the move, after all not many people get paid to move literally from one coast to the other. I mean I don't tan much as it is and I love the open mindedness of the west coast. [so much better than the Bible Belt.] This is an amazing opportunity that many would love to have but sadly don't have the option to take, so this is for all of you! The Southern Belle is moving out west, hippies better watch out, I have a VERY low tolerance for them now and it will be even lower when I see them protesting outside of base! 

So goodbye rednecks; hello hipsters!
