So we've all been here before. We're sitting at YVR waiting to board another flight to New Zealand.
I guess we'll have to get used to it. All of us. This trip was busier than words and 3.5 weeks has come and gone already. We're grateful that we got to be present at weddings of 2 couples that are close to us. It's been lovely to catch up with those based in the Lower Mainland that we've been tied to all these years. But here we are again, leaving.
The feeling of "home" is not one that can be explained. So agree or disagree with us but right now we're on our way home. Sure it's not the easiest answer but it's the answer that makes us happiest at this point. We aren't ones to deny ourselves happiness, especially if we have managed to pin it down and even if it ends up to be fleeting.
It doesn't make us happy to say goodbyes but the ultimate balance rests in the land of the long white cloud for us.
We don't plan to lose touch with you and sure hope that out of sight doesn't mean out of mind.
When we get a chance to slow down and breathe, I will post some vacation pics for you so you can see how we spent our time back in North America.
For now, we're overheating as we wait for the plane because we're dressed for 7 degrees upon arrival. It may be a shock to the system...

I'm so glad that you guys have found a place that makes you feel happy to call home :-)
