Note: Throughout this post are photos that I took on my last trip down to Kelowna
I’ve been keeping this news to myself pretty closely until we got closer but for a few months now we have been working on how to move back to Kelowna, BC and it’s finally happening! June 26th, 2020 is my last day at work, on June 28th the movers are coming and on June 29th we will be making the 16-hour drive back to Kelowna.
In April 2020 I decided that I wanted to move back to Kelowna, BC but the timing wasn’t right. For 3 months I have slowly worked on getting my “ducks in a row” and waited for certain conditions to be met before I made the leap. Although there are some boxes not met in my plan to move back, the decision was right and both my fiancé and I agreed that our time in Fort McMurray was up.
I don’t regret the move to Fort McMurray, Alberta. I have made many friends, I have experienced many things and I’ve grown a lot as a person here.
There are many reasons why we are moving back to Kelowna, BC but the main reason is that Fort McMurray doesn’t suit the life that we both want.
COVID-19 did spark some of this change. I realized what was important to me, the benefit I’ve gained by living here but also the loss that I’ve received since moving here so we truly are heading into a new chapter of our life.
Come July you’ll be seeing more content about the Okanagan and photography so stay tuned here for informations and tips. You can also find more daily updates over at my Instagram.
I look forward to bringing you along on this new journey!
Take care!
