And The Journey Truly Begins!

Well Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am on the Island. I am no longer in that little shitbox of a town. My journey has begun. I am sad to leave behind my sister and my good friends, but the memories we have made will last a life time... plus I know we will have more to come!

This isn't a goodbye to them. It is an end of a chapter in my life, yes, but not a goodbye, they will not be forgotten, nor will they be ignored. And time will tell me who my true friends are.

Eitherway. I'm super excited. I'm here with my Mum & Dad, yayyeeee. And tomorrow I get to go see Grandpa. I haven't seen Grandpa in almost a year. Crazy eh? Anyways, I'm happy that I get to take some time to me, and enjoy a little bit of life and get situated on the island before I start my job hunt and looking for a house.

So the trip down? HELL!! the first leg of my journey cw road. That was fine. Sun was shining roads were good. Amazing. Hit the highway..... It was a little slushy. No biggie. Get up larson hill... BAM Right before the top of larson hill...... SNOW. Road conditions crap for my shitty tires. Just.... not good. Rain, which turned into snow, which turned into sleet and made the roads slushy. Ugh it was a gongshow.

Mothernature was testing me to see how badly I wanted to go. Well Mothernature... I made it to the ferry in 3 and a half hours. SAFELY.

So then I get on the ferry, no delays. Go up, go to the cafeteria... and boom, not open BUT there was no one else in line yet, so I was the first to get my food. Ate that in like five mins flat.
Decided I needed an after food smoke (ya, I know, bad habit!) went up to the deck, not paying attention to anything, this guy comes up to me and starts talking to me.

Him: "Did you see the dolphins?"
Me: "No I must have missed them. Damn, that would have been so neat!"
H: "No, they're still here!" -points- "Come see!"
M: "Ohmy! Wow!"

we get to chatting, but im to lazy to put the whole conversation down. We chatted for most of the ferry ride. He was a cutie. I made a ferry friend :)

Then when I got off the ferry, and back onto the highway.... it started to piss down rain, and it was a sketchy drive.

Guess I'm going to have to get used to the rain. Hm, So far... its been an interesting trip. And Im rather excited to see what each day after this holds.

Things are looking up.
