More Changes

We returned from Vancouver knowing that the following week would be bringing us changes.

Max had moved back in--although I am happy to have him in our home, having an adult child in the house was going to be difficult as we navigate how to live together again.  It's going to be bumpy.

One of the statements I made before we left for the weekend was:  No parties, NO extra people in the house.  It wasn't our student or friend who stayed here that weekend that broke that rule, it would be our very own son.

So, Monday, when I found out, I clarified that I was serious--a couple days into living together and there is already tension.

Kent made it through his first days of work and I wished I had save it, but his signatory line in his emails changed EVERY day this week...as he gains his footing in his role.  This job is a BIG change from anything he has had in the past--but I know that he can rise to the occasion.

We were supposed to get a new student named Ramah--but he is having trouble with his Visa and his trip is on hold for now.  This past week we said good bye to Umut, as he headed back to Turkey and Lucas has decided to move in March 1. 

Lucas, how I love that kid.  It has been freaking me out this past year--how much he works, (sometimes with only 3 hours off between shifts) and his commuting to his place at Shawnigan Lake.  So, we offered for him to move in.

We also met with a Realtor this week to talk out our options for selling out house.  It is just way too big.  We were left with:  it may cost us up to $25 000.00 to sell and buy.  Is it worth it?  We're not sure.

Do we put in a suite downstairs and put up with the noise?  Or put in a suite and rent the house out to 2 different families?

So, decisions...decisions....
