Prairie Rain

As I read through some Saskatchewan Tourism brochures (my way of educating myself about my new province) I listen to the rain pour down outside. Our first storm since we have been here. It sounds and smells so beautiful. We opened up our front window and just listened to the thunder and watch the lightening strike. Tomorrow we are heading to Regina Beach for the day. It should be fun. We are hoping to go camping next weekend and Miller is coming to visit on the long weekend. Lots of fun and exciting plans.

The New Prairie Dogs

Tears softly rolled down my cheeks as we drove away from the town I called home my entire life. Away from the familar, away from the known, away from the people I love. Towards the mystery, towards possibility, with the man I adore. So many thoughts running through my mind. Excitement, paint colours and decorating, new friends, an adventure. Uncertainty, will I like the city, will I like our new house, will I make friends. And of course heart break, family not close, no more long jons or emu walks, pizza at the beach, too many to list. All of this runs through my mind as we drive away. But alas we arrive in one peace with dried tears and are officially 'prairie dogs'.

I miss you family. Everyday. As exciting as it is to be starting this new chapter, it is sad that I cannot share this excitement with you except over the phone or via internet. We look at your pictures everyday and please please please know that you are loved... 'you' know who 'you' are.

Pictures to come........
