so it begins
Today has been a beautiful day. Greg called in sick to work. He got up around 8 and I slept in until 9 (heavenly) and then we walked over to Rose Donuts with Buzz. Greg went in and got us bagels and I stood outside with the dog, enjoying the perfect summer morning. We lazed around at home, then ate at Taco Surf (<3!!!) and laid on the beach for a while. We came home for a bit, and I started packing our stuff. It's kind of surreal. I had been putting off packing because building boxes would finally make it real, but I just sucked it up and started.
Don't get me wrong, I'm totally happy to be moving back to Canada finally, but I've really grown to love a lot about San Diego. I'm going to miss the weather here, and the food, and the fashion-show scene and the few friends I've made. I don't see myself ever moving back here, but of course it's possible we find our way back someday, and we'll definitely be returning for visits.
I realised that this is the longest time I have spent in one house in I don't know how long. Because of my parents divorcing when I was so young, I was always moving around. I came to SD knewing it would be temporary but living here has become almost soothing in its stability. I can't believe we have survived over two years together in this tiny apartment!! If we're being honest, I think G & I are both so ready for this move. His permanent resident card came today, so now everything is in place for us to move.
I'm going to keep packing tomorrow. I have to keep reminding myself of the immediacy of our situation. On top of having to do all the house-stuff of packing and cleaning, we're trying to soak up every bit of SD we can. I'm trying to tie up some loose ends & do shoots I've been planning for a while (so busy with modeling for the next three weeks) and we are going to visit the grandparents in Arizona once more. G only has two weeks left of work! Hooray!
We have to get all packed up and have the house cleaned by August 14, when G's parents will be rolling into town. From there, we will be painting, replacing the lino and some of the bathroom fixtures, and then heading up to Canada. I expect we'll be arriving on August 23, which is a month from today. Fingers crossed & breath held. I'm so excited and nervous about this new stage in our lives.
