The Last Piece of Documents has Arrived!

23 days until we leave Ottawa. The hubby's British passport arrived two days ago which was the last piece of documentation we were waiting for to be able to be sure we would have no problems on our journey. This has been a relief and yet for me it has made me anxious again as it is a reminder that this is not like 4 years ago when we were just talking about the possibilities of moving to the U.K. No this is really happening and we managed to put it all together in less then two months. It is a bit of a shock to the system, but it also excites me to think part of a dream I had set out for myself will becoming true.

I have planned a going away gathering in Ottawa this weekend. It was suppose to be at Britannia Beach and the Baja Burger Shack as they have amazing burgers. Alas it looks like it is going to be rainy and stormy so not a good day for the beach. We have decided to try and burger place that won the Ottawa's Best Burger competition this year instead. So we shall start our gathering at the HintonBurger on Wellington St. We both have never been there and I promised myself to try as many new things before I left. So if the weather manages to change between now and Saturday we shall be at the beach.




Or if it is rainy and gross out we will be closer to downtown trying out something new.



Either way I will let you know how the gathering goes and give my reviews of either place. Keep on reaching for the moon and you'll land among the stars.

    Wishing I could go .. Wishing even more that work wouldn't hold back my first two weeks' pay so I'd have $ to go!! :(

    I can't imagine what you must be feeling. I'd be ass-backwards terrified if I was moving to a new continent!!

      I wish you could go as well. Also I agreed about the pay thing it is silly when you have worked there so long.

      I find at times I am totally excited about the move and then there are other times where I am frightened and anxious about it. There will be so many new experiences, places to see and things to do. I worry sometimes that I will stick out like a sore thumb and be utterly lonely. I do have my in-laws though and I love them to bits and get along really well with them so at least I have a safety net of people who can help me out if I start to feel lost. :-)
