Please please tell me now….

is there something i should know!!

for those 80’s chicks amongst us, a bit of Duran Duran….ahhh do you remember…..

*sit back and remember those oh so nasty perms and all those pastel colours*

Don’t know where that came from….i was just thinking of a title and that came into my head.

So, layouts, i have finished a good few last night. Caught up with some challenges from 2peas. Here is one i really like…

I like to do layouts about the very ordinary things of life. There will always be stacks of photos around of us, the people that make up this family but the its and bits of life get forgotten. Anyway in 5 years time I probably won’t have the same things taking up space in my house. Although you never know!

So..more news, and this won’t be news to some. We are at t-minus 7 days (tomorrow) that Ben, Poppy and me fly to Vancouver, BC. OMGoodness, there, I said it.

We are going for one week exactly and we are going primarily to check it out because we are seriously thinking about going to live there for a while. It is somewhere we intended to go about 5 years ago and it didnt happen and now it just seems back on the cards and we are going to ‘test’ the water, so to speak.

I have mixed feeling about it, to be honest. I am really excited to go but am equally a bit blue that I am will be leaving my two little baby buds at home with their grandparents. This is mainly because of the expense. The joys of being married to a teacher means that just as you get your free time, so the holiday companies plant their prices right up there in the ‘HOW MUCH?” category.

But they are going to be fine (my mantra) and they will have a blast with my mum and dad (more of my mantra) and it will be great and good and lovely. *repeat*

So we have fixed up a couple of meetings and we are hopefully going to go to Whistler for a little look. And of course I am going to be looking into some scrapbook stores….oh..yes…i have my list, i have my yahoo maps printed off and i have lots of space in my suitcase….

So….yeah…that is what we will be doing next week. Sometimes I feel like I am in a bit of a dream. we have wanted to do this for so long and now it seems to be happening. Hard to take it in.

Maybe that is what its like…you know, when your dreams suddenly become scarily real…and i say scary because i mean that I am, at times, terrified…

that it might not be all i had hoped…

that letting your hope rise often means it can get shot down..

But i guess there is risk involved. But that’s life right? We have to take risks or we stand still, motionless, afraid to move, paralysed by fear.

And you know what? that’s not going to me 🙂
