This day three years ago, I was sitting down at my empty desk for my first day of my new career, anxious and excited for what being the Hay River Hub's new reporter would do to change my young life.
I definitely did not expect that three years later, I would be sitting (still in Hay River) in my new house writing the editorial for my own newspaper.
The writing's a little rushed though. I have my second ultrasound in an hour, before which I have to walk my dog and make a quick lunch for my husband. Not to mention choose the paint colours for the interior of the new house, pick up the pilates lesson plan for the class I'm leading on Tuesday, and squeeze in an interview with the Hub (irony?) about my new newspaper.
A lot of people say they came to the North for a week and stayed for a lifetime. That used to scare me. I tried my very best to make sure I made it back to Vancouver in good time. But despite my best efforts, it actually felt more natural to see where this path would go.
In this blog, I hope to track the progress of a pregnancy, the development of restoring an old house, and the challenges of life in the Northwest Territories.
