141 Days...

141 days. That's how long I have before I start Midwifery school. And even a few days before that I will be leaving the country to travel down to Boise and get settled in. Leaving the country... and for 15 months, maybe more!! I have never been gone from Canada for so long, I've never been apart from my FAMILY for so long. And that is something that scares me, I am really going to miss them!
Why is that in order to travel and have adventures, to meet amazing new friends, you have to leave behind all that you love. My family, my friends here, they're just as important to me as anyone I meet in travelling. But I can't have both, or rather I can't be with both.
As for now I really have neither! Work has taken me out of town, to a wonderfully greasy small Northern town. I don't really see people, but instead plunk numbly away at a computer all the day long. 3 weeks down, 3+ more to go! And all of it in the name of money, money for school, money to be a midwife, money to go and serve the God who made both women and children!
141 more days!
