That feeling of "home."

So we are on our last leg in the move to Edmonton. Being here in Saskatoon suddenly feels strange. It no longer feels like somewhere I belong. Yet Edmonton does not yet feel like somewhere I do belong. I feel like i'm sneaking behind the enemy lines hoping to blend in. I have no home, but I can see where my home will soon be.

Our house in Edmonton is beautiful. The house is about 3 years old (?) but looks as if no one has ever lived there save for a few impurities in the walls.. but no big concern.

The main floor has a kitchen, living room and washroom with lots of huge windows to let the suns glow in.

Upstairs we have 3 bedrooms and 2 washrooms. (one of the washrooms is off the master suite which we have chosen regan to occupy.)

And the basement is completely unfurnished. Just one huge room to satisfy our musical pleasures.

We are very excited about having a dishwasher in the kitchen. Regan and myself have a phobia pertaining to dirty dish water. Scary stuff.

I think I speak for all of us when i say all of our friends are welcome to visit. In fact, we look forward to the company.

Besides the friends that i already have, I plan on being a recluse in Edmonton. I hope to read lots of books and broaden my horizons musically.

We currently do not have internet connected as of yet... or a home phone. But i will be sure to spread the contact information once I have it.

Take care everyone,

Love Ash ~ Cedar's Bloom.

Home is where the heart is and your heart will always be with your friends. Thats why i feel you can never really run away from home.
I am soooo excited to visit you guys in your new place and to learn that i am not the only one that gets spooked by the questionable safety of dirty dish water.
How did Big Rig end up with the master suite? Did you boys draw straws?

Think of the band as a family... (excluding me. I'm the college student who has already moved away). Regan is the mom, and Lee and Trevor is the annoying little brother, and Lee is the whiny little sister. Obviously Regan gets the Mom-room.

Hahahaaha touché Graham. Leeam is like my little sister. Too wise for her age at times.

Largeman: You know that point in your life when you realize that the house that you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of the sudden even though you have some place where you can put your stuff that idea of home is gone.
Sam: I still feel at home in my house.
Largeman: You'll see when you move out it just sort of happens one day one day and it's just gone. And you can never get it back. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist. I mean it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for you kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place.

I love you Matthew. And everytime i watch that part of the movie, i think to myself, "Leeam and i had this same discussion with Big Rig one night."

Big Rig, you rock my world. Can't wait to see you guys in like 5 days:)

I can't wait to pee in your bathrooms in about two weeks.
