In a two bedroom appartment, furnished with three queen sized airbeds, a blow-up couch, and boxes for night-stands, things are being put into a very different perspective for the Quesnel family. There was once a time not too long ago when such a situation would have put me into a depression... Most of my friends would remember the days of the duplex when I was so overwhelmed and complainy. But take away the clutter of furniture, toys and unnecessary junk. And all that you're left with is opportunity for new adventures... All that you're left with is each other! No distractions, no meaningless phone calls and time wasting activities... Just good old fashioned family fun and plenty of room for personal growth! Taking time to enjoy the little things that you may otherwise be too busy doing other things to notice.
Although I will confess there are things that I am missing, like Internet and my leather sofa (I really love that couch), I am excited about the opportunity for a fresh start for our family! I realize that the things and people I have grown dependant on, I really can live without. But to my friends back home, I DO miss you (most of you).. Just that I've come to realize that true friendship will last no matter how many provinces may lie between us.
I enjoy traveling and new experiences, but even more I enjoy being with my family! While part of me misses the comfort of my own bed, there's another part of me that could care less if I ever see our house or Hanover ever again. I needed this. And I think alot of people need to do this, leave, leave with nothing... Take your family and realize that, in fact, you have EVERYTHING!
