| 30 seconds to liftoff |
We made it. We arrived in Nova Scotia 1 week ago. I had
planned on writing several entries since my last posting but they would likely
have been more end of career musings and hopefulness about a better life. I am
happy to say we don't have to slosh our way through those few weeks of
uncertainty and ramblings. We have in fact arrived at our new home and are
settling in nicely.

So much to figure out and so much to do, but we are taking
our time and trying to enjoy the early part of this journey with the kids just
as much as we hope to enjoy the weeks to come.

| Beach run 1 week in |
Landed a contract job with my employer. About $400 a week. 3
months and then we see where we stand. I don't anticipate the contract lasting
beyond Christmas. I even got a cake on my last day of work (which did not feel different
than the 2nd or 3rd last day).
Next up is getting my
parents out here in 2 weeks time. I drive back to Ontario to oversee their move
and get them on a plane out here where they will rent a house close by until
they eventually move into one that will be built on our land. Exciting stuff
that will likely unfold much slower than originally planned. At least they will
be out here.
It's a different world out here in the middle of nowhere. No
planes flying overhead...no sirens in the background (and this was suburbia we
are talking about).You can see the stars at night. You can hear your thoughts
clearly and you can breathe. I remember my youngest saying to me months ago
that she wanted to move to a place that had fields she could run in. She
finally has it.
