We're still here and that isn't so bad

We haven't heard from our realtor since December 27th. This comes as no surprise although B is pretty disappointed. He is headed back to work on January 22nd and was really hoping to be starting his new job in Ontario instead of going back to his old position here in NS. He is so excited about moving back to Ontario and living in the city again.

I feel differently about it these days especially with 2 little ones to care for. I find the longer we stay here the less I want to move. I know that we all will have so many more opportunities in Ontario than we do here but I am really starting to love the pace of life here.

The things that bugged me about small town life in the first few years we lived here are things I find charming now and I know I will miss them. Like small talk with strangers and people peeking in your shopping cart at the grocery store to see what's for dinner or taking the time to hold the door open for you even when you are still on the sidewalk and not all that close to the door.

Going back home to Ontario or even just to Halifax for visits in the last year really emphasized how different life is in the big city. I suppose it's gonna take time to get used to the difference in the pace of life just like it did when we moved out here.
