Oh my goodness, it has been soooo long since I have updated my blog. I kept thinking of doing an update, but you know, things happen! So here I am on a lovely Saturday morning, with my coffee and thought I would write a little update. Geoff and I are settled into Saanichton now, well as settled as we can be. I still find the place too small, but try to keep telling myself that it is temporary. How temporary, I have no idea. I am loving the commute, down to about 20 minutes versus the over an hour in the morning and and hour and a half in the afternoon minimum.
Geoffrey's graduation is coming up on June 2nd from VIU and we are looking forward to that. My parents are going, we don't know yet if Geoff's mom is coming or not yet. Geoff is trying to get into a different career and trying to find a way that he can use his degree. He has been applying for positions as a probation/parole officer, but he just found out yesterday that they won't even look at you unless you have completed the courses that they need. Geoff is registered, but hasn't finished it yet. So hopefully, when new positions open up that may change things. But this area of BC is very popular for people to transfer to from the north and usually internal applicants get first choice. But, I am hopeful and trying to keep Geoff positive in this. Time will tell.
We are still sort of looking to buy something in the lower island, although our options are few at this moment. We have to get a few more things straightened out and then our options should open a little more. I keep looking though, as you never know!
I am adjusting to my insulin pump and for the most part it has really helped stablize my sugars. I love the fact that I don't have to give myself multiple injections anymore. Because I have been given the go-ahead from my endocrinologist, Geoff and I are more seriously talking about trying to have a baby. Only time will tell!
My work is going well and I still really enjoy it. I have had some very challenging weeks these last 2 1/2 weeks and doesn't look like it's going to improve in the near future. But, as I struggle along, others also struggle and those people are also great supports. Every once in awhile I think what it would have been like in Prince Rupert and being the care manager up there, but I do believe that this is where we were meant to be. Geoff and I love the island, but we could adjust if need be. I occasionally miss teaching (although I seem to do some form of teaching everyday at work), mostly I miss working with some of my co-workers.
Well, don't know what else to say at this point. Thinking about changing the furniture around in the livingroom today and cleaning up the office. Although, I should try to enjoy that beautiful sunshine.
Going out for brunch tomorrow with the parents (Geoff has to work) at the Quamichan Inn to celebrate Mama's day. Looking forward to that!
