So. I have some Big News. I can’t even tell you if it is good or bad because it depends on who you are asking.
I’m moving.
To Toronto.
Well, technically, we’re moving to Toronto, because Tim got a new job there. And since I’ve been having more problems with seizures this past week and all of my test results have come back normal, I think it is probably best for me to be near my family right now.
I am so mixed up inside about all of this, it’s a very bittersweet life change. I’ve given my two week notice to my office, so it’s all official.
And that’s my big news.
Wish me luck, I’m gonna need it.
The only thing I have to say to all my Calgary friends and to the city I have grown to love and adore: I’ll be back.

That is big exciting news! Good luck with the move and I hope the transition goes smoothly for you and Tim. I imagine it will be nice to be near your sisters again.
I am excited for your new opportunities but sad you are leaving. You will be missed in a big way.
I have to say that there is some sadness in me – but only because Den and I never got the chance to visit you guys in Calgary!
Everything else in me is happy, happy, happy. Also, like I’ve told you before, you can live a completely normal life with a seizure disorder. Seizures may have slowed me down, but they sure haven’t stopped me from doing anything!
I think you have just the right attitude about this. A little sadness to leave what you’ve grown to love, but total acceptance and some excitement about what’s to come. This will be good!

I am hearing an Arnold Swarz voice right now. Just saying. And Leah, I’m glad this is bittersweet for you. Because if it was straight good news that would mean you never enjoyed Calgary or had any awesome experiences out here! So it’s been fun having you here for the last awesome 2 years, and I will miss you terribly when you leave but think it will be an awesome experience! <3
congrats to tim! looking forward to seeing you guys a lot more often!
Great news Leah! So happy to hear that Micaela will have one of her sisters in the T.O. with her:)
Im happy for you that you get to be around your sisters/family more often.
Im sad for you because you love Calgary.

HOORAY! We can meet up one time FOR SURE!
ugh so sorry about the seizures but yay for the move, how fun.

Miss Leah… words cant express how i feel about this, but you already know for the most part so i wont even try to verbalize it… yet.
I know it is the best thing/decision for both you and Tim and as much as it hurts my heart i fully support you in the move. So much that i was completely serious about the offer to help pack. (Let me know when, this weekend? Monday? whenever! you let me know and i’m there!) We, well me at least, are going to have to live in the moment and enjoy the last 2 weeks together in the same city.
ps – writing this was another “moment”… i’m sure you can almost hear the tear drops hitting my keyboard right now
OMG Leah! I’m so HAPPY to hear you’re moving back but I’m so sad to hear you haven’t been well. Congrats to Tim and I can’t wait till you move back so I can see you more often!
*hugs*
Congratulations on the move! I’m sure it was a really hard decision to make, but being closer to your family will be awesome too! Sorry to hear about your health…I hope things get straightened out soon.

Leah,
I always enjoy reading posts from you and your sisters though I think I have only commented once before.
I just wanted to let you know that although I’m sure our circumstances are very different, in a small way I understand what an upheaval it is to start having seizures. I too have had all tests come back normal though I experience seizures. I take anti-seizure medication now so they are not as frequent if I get good sleep and watch my stress.
My life has changed in that I no longer drive or take baths, things like that. (I used to love long baths with a good book and a drink tee hee). So, it can bring up a lot of emotions this thing that feels like it is being done “to you” that you can’t control and it changes your life. At the same time, life is still wonderful and it is just one more storm to be weathered along the way.
I just wanted you to know that there are other people reading your story and thinking about and caring for…even cheering for you. I hope you have a great move and know you will bloom wherever you plany yourself!
You’ll always be loved as one of my BFFEs no matter where you live. Congratulations and good luck on your next adventure!!!

Hey Leah,
I didn’t have an awful lot of time to get to know you – except through Twitter. It’s too bad you’ve got to high-tail it to Toronto, and leave the greatest city in Canada.
Glad we’ve had the opportunity to cross paths with one another, and I’m sure we’ll run into one another again down the road.
Best of luck to you and Tim – and I hope all is well with your health.
