Last Week in Vancouver

This is it. Just a few more days.

As we were approaching the runway at YVR at the end of October 2012, the sun was shining, the mountains were in full view, snow covered the tips and my heart beat with excitement. I was so giddy. I couldn't wait to get home.

That day, we had many errands to run, from booking the internet/phone connection, to sorting out the fireplace issues at our property which is currently let, we stayed awake for over 48 hours. But I was so glad and excited to be home that I didn't notice, I was numb with joy.

I had the biggest lunch of Spicy Tuna Sashimi at the McSushi close to my mom's apartment. This was the best day ever.

The next day, we woke up got ready grabbed a cab, rode the sea bus and then the sky train straight back to YVR. But I wasn't worried, in a little over 2 weeks I would be back again. I had many many days ahead that I would take advantage of everything!

I saw people, I ate sushi, I watched movies, I drank wine, I even had jagger bombs!

It was so amazing to get to have a bit of balance in life, my husband and I started working 10-14 hours 7 days a week but we also began going out more. We danced and we laughed!

My Turk had the most fun he as ever had at a New Year's party. He was like the young man I never had the chance to meet and I loved every bit of it.

I always give him a hard time because he always acts like a 10 year old and that make me feel like a mom. But I'm glad he does. I'm glad he is crazy, fun and so silly! He's the perfect Ying to my Yang!

But now... just a week to go, it is all sinking in. The apartment is still the mess we found when we first walked in and hated the idea of having to stay here. The kitchen is not finished as I wanted. I didn't see everyone I wanted to see. I didn't watch as many movies as I would have wanted to and I certainly did not eat as much sushi as I could have.

What happened?
