I just wanted to say to all of those who have given me advice or information over the past 5 years that you are brilliant and I wish nothing but the best for you guys! I know many of those who were around at 4 or 5 years ago aren't anymore but there are some who still are.

Tomorrow is my last day in the US. I have been able to acquire a job in Toronto so I am heading back and starting my husband's visajourney!

I'm so happy to be moving back and couldn't be more thrilled to settle down in what has always been home for me. :dance:

Best of luck!

Amanda

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

Take care and good luck! Dont be a stranger. I'm sure some people thinking of going back will want to know how it turns out for you!

Hope you enjoy the new job and having Timmy's again!

Will miss you Amanda!!

You and Jill have been the best friends any expat could have. No really! I think us getting together every few months kept me sane. I truly admire you for following your heart back home.

I know you'll be back for visits but you will for sure be missed.

Aww *sad*

Thanks guys!

Let me tell you, I met two ladies off this board in real life and if it wasn't for them, it would have been so much more difficult. It was such a pleasure to have a few Canadians to tell you how you are feeling is okay and listen to your aches and pains! Thanks Nev and Jill!!!

Kimbear - he still doesn't get the "double/double" thing but I will have to teach him some more! haha

Colleens - we will have to keep in contact to see how the process is going. I'm not thrilled about doing this all over again but what can you do?

There is not a day that goes by that I don't miss Toronto. It has so much to offer and it'll be so exciting to get back there and take advantage!

Take care!
