I'm gonna be home in 13 days!! I'm really excited about that! I have pretty much every moment planned, which is good and bad at the same time. One of the best things about being at home is laying in my bed and just reading and being alone...and because I'm home for SUCH a short time I don't really have time for that. Stupid Work....makes me come back to BC too early. On the plus side, Jen is coming back with me! Honesytly, its weird but I think I'm more excited about her coming here than I am about going home. I just feel like I can finally show my new world to my old world. It's like, home will always be there...my mom and my dad and my sisters and my nephew and my aunt and uncle and grammie obviously are so special, and that's the thing...I know they love me and want me to do what's best for me. Now, I get to show someone that I am doing what's good for me. I can show people that I'm good here....here is good for me.
It's weird, but I've been noticing how at home I am in Vancouver recently. I get in a cab and tell the driver the fastest way to get somewhere; drop me somewhere downtown and I can probably get myself home; I have good friends who live all over the lower mainland...not just SFU friends now (not that I don't love my SFU friends.....that's you Dot); I've been here alone for about four and a half years, and I love it. I'm lonely sometimes and I miss home, but I think I may be making another home here...A home for me...not my family home. How scary is that? I can identify with something now other than being Aunt Melissa from Nova Scotia. I guess it's all part of growing up...you know...I am getting old....seriously...time, time has ravaged my once youthful face....
And something to make you smile...

Does this all relate back to that one liquor store not asking you for ID? Haha, you're awesome! I can't wait for tomorrow night... I guess it's technically tonight but there is a sleep in between then and now. Yay for an update!
