I am sooooo excited!!! In exactly 2 weeks, my sister & her family will be living here!
My sister is one of my very best friends. I lived with her & her DH for about a year after I graduated, before I found a room-mate and then eventually got married to my DH. During that time we realized how much we had in common (we are 10 years apart in age, weren't very close when I was little), and we quickly became very close. After DH and I married, we moved away from BC, back to Saskatchewan (where I was living before - our parents are here), and were now 18 hours away from my sister, her hubby & kids. The move practically broke my heart... we used to see each other 3-4x a week, for coffee, visiting, shopping, scrapbooking (we both paper scrapped), etc. After I moved, we would see each other 2x a year if we were lucky.
ANYWAY. My sister & her DH have been thinking long & hard about moving from BC for a couple of years because cost of living is so high, and my sister wants to be close to family (his family was the main reason they were staying, but they've all moved away), and they have no desire to move where his family went (even MORE expensive). So she said "My turn!". They bought land out here & will be building a home just a couple blocks from DH & I!!!
I am SO excited! SOOOOO EXCITED! I can't wait till they get here!!!!
ETA: They've had land here for a year now, sold their home 6 months ago, and are finally moving now. The way I worded it, it seemed like this was a rush decision, but it's not. It's been 2 years in the making, and they are FINALLY moving, lol.
