Things are sinking in..

I officially gave notice to my job this weekend, but I didn't get actual confirmation until this morning. I am going to say it.. I have immense, extreme, amazing love for giving notice to a job. I haven't had many chances to do so in my life, so having the extreme euphoria is rad.

With this being said, I am now realizing that I am going to have to bust my ass to get everything that I need done.. I mean.. I have to figure out how I am going to get all of my stuff up there. I need to start networking to see if I can get a job in not a lot of time. I will need to do things like.. learn how to drink beer from a stubby.

But then, there are the things that I think that I am going to miss more than anyone will ever know, but then again, maybe not.

There are a lot of Ethiopian food places in Seattle, I think that it has the highest amount of Ethiopian food places on the west coast, my favorite is Lalibela. So you could imagine my shock/surprise/happiness when I was checking to see if there are Ethiopian places where I am about to move to and there is another Lalibela, mere minutes from my new place of residency.

But then there are other things, that I am pretty sure that I will not be able to have/enjoy again. They don't interesting independant film theaters, like the Grand Illusion, Egyptian, Metro, Varisty or Majestic Bay.. oh, oh wait.. They have the Rio and the Dolphin?

Oh, I know! Pike Place Market! .... Wait.. what! You have an entire island that is a Farmers Market!

cuppy cakes? oh, ok ok cuppy cakes..

Uwajimaya! Crystal Mall and Metrotown.

Ok, I get it, Where I will be living will have all of the things I really love about living in Seattle. There is art, water taxis, aquariums, so on and so forth, however, it will not have my friends and family.. but it does have my husband. Time to grow up and be all grown up like. By the way.. BC Tourism Board should hire me.
