As I have noted previously I have been working out of Brooks area. This presents a few complications, first and foremost is the minimal amount of time that I see my wife and two boys. This in itself has lead me to the thought of relocating my family to Brooks. I took a good look at the Brooks area and real estate pricing and what was available and would suitable our needs. I spoke to many people about Brooks and what it might have offer my family, ie. schooling, extra curricular activities. Geographically, the climatic region is quite a bit different than Stony Plain, it is drier, windier, way less trees, there is actually a road called "One Tree Road".
This weekend I returned home for a couple days, due to being rained out, when I returned I came back to a large full of trees that were fully leaved out, beautiful green lawn, a yard and house that we are very fortunate to have; and a community that is so well taken care off, clean and a pride that I did not see in Brooks. I could not see myself moving from the Stony area for these reasons plus the good schooling that my boys are getting, our great friends and family.
I have come to appreciate what we have as a family a whole lot more through this past month while working in the south. To uproot my family would be devastating to my family and is just not something that I could live with. Coming to this realization this weekend has given me relief and will hopefully allow me to refocus and just let things happen!
