At the moment, I'm sitting in the Victoria International Airport waiting to board a plane to Calgary Alberta. I have spent an accumulative total of about 31 months on Vancouver Island over the past 6 and a half years. It has started to feel a bit homely here and I wouldn't mind living here once again if God calls me back. I didn't say a lot of good byes. I avoided them like the plague. Maybe there's this feeling deep down that if I don't say goodbye I'll see you much sooner and it will be like we've never parted ways. But I won't admit that :)
Tonight I land in Calgary to be picked up by my brother. Tomorrow we drive to Fernie to meet up with Ty to shred the hill for a day. It's been over a year since I last spent time snowboarding and boy oh boy am I excited!! Tuesday morning Jordan will drop me off to catch my morning flight to Winnipeg and thus starts my search for a summer job. Yay!
I'm looking forward to being back in Manitoba for this while as I prepare for my next big adventure. To see Mandi and Jas's new baby, family weddings, catching up with high school friends, hiking in the Pembina Hills, driving on dusty old dirt roads, being able to see my destination from 15 minutes away, going to the Motocross races to cheer on Chris, Richard, and Scott, and drinking in the smell of Manitoba rain. Once this all has been accomplished, Lord willing, I'll be off to Australia!!!!! Something I've wanted to do for so long and now finally it's really happening! I can't wait for this new adventure to unfold!
