so we're back....

[Cassie 8]

So, we're back from our trip to Nova Scotia and methinks after this trip a lot of things have become clearer....

I'm going for naturalization when I am eligible.

Meanwhile, I will be doing my research about sponsoring J to become a permanent resident / citizen of Canada.

That's right, we're going to move back to Nova Scotia sooner (ie. in about 5 years) rather than later.

We haven't told his family yet!

There's still some things to work out, but we do have a master plan for the next 5 years or so. Of course, life has a funny way of working itself out, so this may all be pipe dreams, but they are our pipe dreams for now!

(The trip was great, the wedding was beautiful, and the Iced Cappucino was fantastic!)

I can understand that! It's not going to happen right away, but yeah, we're going back. If we had had our preference, he would have immigrated to Canada in the first place, but that's how it goes. For us, the process wasn't all that bad (we were blessed, no doubt about it) so that isn't a factor in persuading us to stay.

I'm wondering how we'll feel once we go back home again. I'm thinking we'll be feeling the same way. I know for a fact that we're definitely moving home to NS. When it will be is the question. I have a feeling once we do go back home the desire to move back will be much stronger...and it *will* be harder to leave. Joel says the quality of life is better there, at least it would be for us. Joel is definitely going to naturalise too...no more USCIS and travel will be easier methinks.

LOL, be careful Scott...those ultra patriotic ones from OT might come in here and see your comment and tell you to "hit de road" if you don't like the good ol' US of A. Already seen it happen there a few times.

Glad you had a great trip Cassie.

My best friend and her boyfriend are coming from NS here on Sept 16th

I can not wait to see them. It has been along time since I seen another Canadian.

I think Flames just wants to go to South America so he can be closer to Columbia and get even fresher coffee.

For me, leaving was the same as always -- hard. Perhaps even more hard knowing that my mom was to have her transplant yesterday and knowing that they could use my help. This trip really focused things down for Jerry and his timeline to move back has now sped up considerably. So yeah, the more time he spends there, the more he wants to stay. So now I am set with the task of researching Canadian immigration -- yeehaw!

[Carlawarla 1]

Cassie,

Hope your Mother is doing well after her transplant! Sounds like your time back home was what you guys needed. Things sometimes fall in place after you've made a decision and redefined goals. We're still trying to decide if and when we'd like to move back, but it's on the back burner for at least 8 years or closer to when Gene retires.

So glad you had a wonderful time though back in Canada.
