journey across canada

here i sit in abbotsford...waiting....seems to be a theme in my life...waiting for sleep to come...waiting for morning....waiting to arrive at the next destination...waiting...

we have travelled across canada - had christmas last week (with a tree, carols and trimmings), then 6 months worth of birthday festivities and 2 days later a pinata filled with candy. tomorrow is a thanksgiving feast. feels like we are trying to squeeze in as many family celebrations as physically possible before we leave. emotionally i feel like i am about to burst and i won't even mention my waistline.
i have come to the place where i am ready to take the leap no matter what. reminds me a little of childbirth when you come to the point of no return. you are tired of being fat and bloated and uncomfortable...you want to meet this baby and try to get back to "normal" life. i am ready to birth even if it hurts...i am ready to meet this new one i have carried for so long - this dream that is about to become a reality.

so on tuesday we leave for seattle to fly to soeul, korea and then to kathmandu....i will call it transitional labor. on thursday i will hold my babe :)
