So Much To Spend - So Little Time

Man, I forgot just how costly it is to move. Moving company, first and last month's rent, gas and hotels for the drive, etc. Being a spendaholic, I'm trying not to look at the flyers that come to the house twice a week. What I don't see, I don't want. However, I did manage to see something in Vancouver a few weeks ago while I was wasting time during the day. It was a soft shell Helly Hansen jacket at SportMart. It will be my first purchase when I am in a better financial situation in Toronto. Oh, sweet Helly. I can't wait until I am settled in my new (unknown) place in Toronto.

Visitors welcome.

Everything Happens For A Reason

So, after job searching in BC, I ended up accepting a job in Toronto. Who thought I would be back there in this lifetime? Not me. The whole process made me insanely nervous - as though it was meant to be. Things have been happening so quickly lately, but the timing seems totally "right." The position is soooo me, and the perks/benefits are unreal.

Today I had to call Big Sisters to close my match with Kevin. We've been matched for 5 years and he's been an awesome kid. I'm sad to have to leave him.

As though the God's above knew this, I heard the doorbell ring this evening. There was a canvasser at my door for World Vision. I have wanted to be part of that organization forever....as if this wasn't odd enough, the child that I have chosen to sponsor has so many parallels to Kevin's life. His name is Sarit, he's 11 years old, and he lives in Thailand.

I find it odd that I close a match and then start one on the same day. But, I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason so I'm excited to help another child out.
