On September 4th, we left our beloved Long Beach to start out on a 1550 mile trek up to Calgary, Canada and to start out on a totally new adventure. With dog, cat, Katherine and Lauren we set out on the 610 headed north. Three days later we made it to our new home for the next two years.
It's such an extreme difference - when we left Long Beach, the average temperature was in the upper 80's. Since we've been in Calgary the average high has been in the low 50's.
September has been all about trading things....
we traded sunny, beach weather for cloudy, basement weather...
we traded an outside lifestyle for a mostly inside lifestyle...
we traded a very busy, overly scheduled life for a much quieter, less-scheduled life (for now)
we traded two kids in all day preschool/day care for one kid in a 3 day/week (2.5 hours a day) preschool
and the list continues....
trading places is OK every once in a while - it expands your appreciation for difference. I'm trying to remember that.
