We once called Fort McMurray home, between 2009–2013, myself my husband, and our two small kids. We bought a house,and my hubby had a good jobhere. It was busy then, too busy, too rushedand chaoticIt was so industry focused. It wasn’t home for me. I didn’t feel connected then.It wasn’t like it was when my husband grew up here, he grew up in Fort McMurray when it had a small–townvibe, he would go out 4x4ing and spend time in the bush but that changed.I didn’t appreciate the beauty around methen. We decided to moveaway in 2013 and bought an acreagejust East of Sherwood Park. Hubby worked driving truck within Western Canada, and I worked and was a Mama. In 2016 his company that he loved working for shut down. Shortly after he then came back to Fort McMurray to work. In the summer of 2018,we listed our acreage for sale with the plan to move to Vancouver Island. Complete change. I could grow my Herbal business there and be close to family, enjoy warmer weather, live a different kind of life, yet my husband would commute to Fort McMurray. Our house sat for almost a year before it sold, it was so frustrating, but something was allowing us to really consider everything. Last minute my intuition told me to go to Fort McMurray. I brought it up to hubby and he was completely against it, at first. As much as I missed my familyand wanted that island life, mykids neededtheir Dad, I neededtheir Dad. So,we, as a family, decided that would be best. So we can stay together as a family. So we headed north. Something I never thought I would do
