A constant struggle

A long time ago and for many different reasons, Scott and I chose to live in Alberta. We didn't make that decision together as we weren't dating at that time but we both ended up living in a place that is far from our families and the place where we grew up. Since then, we have moved around a lot but have always returned to Canmore (except for right now but we are working on figuring out how to move back...) We love the mountains, we love the outdoor lifestyle, we love our friends, and I love my job. It seems that we have spent lots of time searching for a place to call our home and even when we had found it, we didn't fully realize that until we left it again. As wonderful as Canmore is, the worst part about living here is the distance from our families. This is especially true now that Lily has come into our life. She has aunts, grandparents, and other extended family members who love her to bits but who only get to see her for short periods of time. It breaks my heart to see how hard it is for them to leave Lily at the end of a visit and I wish that our families lived closer. Despite the distance, we'll continue to make every effort to share Lily as much and as often as possible and we'll make sure that she knows that she is loved from all corners of Alberta and BC.
