Counting down the final 14 days to Canada—join me as I wrap up preparations and embrace new beginnings!

With just 14 days left until I embark on my journey to Canada, the reality of this life-changing move is hitting me with full force. These final two weeks are a whirlwind of emotions and last-minute preparations, each day packed with tasks and moments of reflection.

Finalizing Sales and Packing My Bags

The past few days have been a blur as I finalize my packing, ensuring that everything I need is ready to go. It’s amazing how much you can accumulate over the years, and deciding what makes the cut for the big move has been both challenging and liberating. Selling off my tech gear—everything from smart bulbs to my Xbox—has been a marathon, but with only a few more items left to sell, I’m almost done. Decluttering my life in preparation for this new chapter feels incredibly freeing.

I’ve also been thinning out my wardrobe by listing clothes on eBay. It’s been a surprisingly effective way to declutter, especially since eBay’s fee-free option for old clothes makes it easier to make a bit of extra cash while simplifying my life. Each item sold and each bag packed brings me one step closer to being ready for the move.

Saying Goodbye to Loved Ones

One of the hardest parts of this process has been saying goodbye to my loved ones. Each farewell is a mix of sadness and excitement, knowing that while I’m leaving behind a lot, I’m also stepping into a new world of opportunities. The past few weeks have been filled with emotional goodbyes, from family gatherings to coffee dates with friends.

I recently had my last pub crawl with my guys. It was a night filled with laughter, memories, and a few too many drinks. It was the perfect way to celebrate our friendship and the many adventures we’ve shared. Knowing that I won’t be able to see them as often anymore is tough, but I’m grateful for the memories we’ve made.

I also went on my last holiday—a final hurrah before the big move. It was a chance to relax, reflect, and mentally prepare myself for what’s to come. Spending time in familiar places and with familiar faces has been both comforting and bittersweet.

The Stress and Sleepless Nights

All of this—the packing, the selling, the goodbyes—has been incredibly stressful. There have been nights where the sheer weight of everything keeps me up, my mind racing with thoughts and worries. The logistics of moving, the emotional toll of farewells, and the anticipation of starting anew have all contributed to some sleepless nights.

Despite the stress, I’ve found solace in the fact that I am ready. This move is something I’ve been planning and looking forward to for a long time. Every step I take, no matter how challenging, is a step towards my future in Canada. I’ve done the hard work, made the tough decisions, and now, with just 14 days to go, I’m ready to embrace this new chapter.

Ready for New Beginnings

As I count down the final days, I’m balancing excitement with a touch of nostalgia, eagerly anticipating the new beginnings while reflecting on what I’m leaving behind. I’m grateful for the support and experiences that have shaped this journey, and I can’t wait to share more as I approach my move to Canada.

Stay tuned as I navigate these final days and prepare for the incredible new opportunities that await in Alberta!
