    It's official, we will be moving to the Toronto area within the next month or so.

    My husband was offered an incredible job in Canada so we flew up here to check it out. We totally fell in love with the place. Beautiful parks, friendly people, great food, taxes are a bit high but, I guess you can't have everything.

    We have a deal in the works to move into at a house in Oakville. It's beautiful, right across from the Lake, a nice yard with big trees and lots a birds, hardwood floors, a finished basement, jacuzzi tub in the master bath, rec room and a hot tub. I just love it. The only downside is that it's right near a Kingdom hall. I swear, they ruin everything.

    I have been through a year of hell after leaving the JWs and I finally feel like things are finally looking up. We will be far away from our JW relatives and all their drama. It feels like a new beginning.

    We will be flying back on Wednesday to start packing. I can't wait!

    Sounds fantastic! Too bad about that KH, though. Hopefully, they won't ever call on you. I know the dubs don't seem to want to do the houses near the KH here...or at least they didn't back when I was going there.

    Glad to hear you are moving on. We did the same thing and it was honestly the best thing we ever did. You can really start your life over again with no religious baggage. Don't worry about the KH. They will probably only work your area once or twice a year. You could just flat out tell them that you use to be witnesses but saw the light, they will probably mark you down as a "do not call." I have a friend that moved from Florida to Montreal and he loves it there. Good luck to you.

    Welcome to Canada. Ontario is a beautiful province. I live in Prince Edward Island. Maybe you will get down to vist us one day. We are in Florida for a few months this winter. If you lived close enough I could help you pack. Have a safe trip. eh?
