On the Brink of Leaving!

Attempting to pack my stuff!

Three more days till I leave my small town, country life, and head off to the big city of Toronto! I am so excited for the new experience! The family I am being a nanny for, is adopting three boys from Lithuania! I get to be a part of their new lives, which is so cool! Also a bit of challenge, since they can't speak English, but I enjoy a good challenge! I also get my own room and bathroom! I stumbled on my words when they told me about the bathroom, because I had never ever imagined the possibility of having my own bathroom!

Despite all the nice things involved in this job, I am really going to miss the country! When I walk out the door for about a minute I see beautiful things like this!

I'm sure there are plenty of things in the city that I can't find here! I went to the local community called Morning Glory the other day, to hang out with one of my best friends, Sierra, and say hi to people there. When I told one of the ladies about this opportunity, she told me...

"The city is a bit of a dump, but there are diamonds everywhere. You just got to find them!"

Then the guy next to her said,

"Just like life is a dump, but you got to find the diamonds in it!"

That made me grin pretty big! I had a great time there with my friend! We did lots of art, sledding, and made the yummiest cheese cakes out of almost all homemade ingredients!!

I haven't even started my Nanny job yet, but I am still thinking about what I should do in September. I have so many options available! I could probably continue with the nanny job if they like me! I could also travel the world with the money I make! But then Sierra's step mom's house is going to be up for rent, and I could rent it! It is my ideal house! A log cabin, in the woods, set up for animals, with a large garden plot! Also maple sugar trees, an outhouse, and a water pump! I would love it! I just would like someone to live with me and share the rent!

But then Linda offered to lend me a horse if I go take the performance horse handling course in Clinton Ontario!

So many hard decisions! Anyhow, for now I am packing my bags, saying goodbye to people, and trying not to get too nervous! My next post will probably be from Toronto!
