We moved from France to Canada 6 years ago. Everything was fine in France, but we decided we needed some change in our lives. It took us about 2 years between the decision and the move because of the visas, many papers to fill, many fees to pay. The first year we were a little stressed because we made too many things at the same time , but very excited too. The second year we felt homesickness, so we organised a trip to France, and family came to see us. We don't regret it. Our life is very different from what we knew in France, maybe no better job opportunity, but better standart of living ( as a cabinet maker, for sure, as an artist, I think but I will have a better idea in few years) I'm feeling that we built something, we create our chance ... The big difference maybe, is that we feel that we are actors of our lives, not only spectators.
Next step: we don't know yet. I would like to go back to France but just for one year or two . We are speaking of going somewhere else too, where? we don't know yet, maybe far, Australia ...
The first move can be frightening, the second is only exciting !

PS: nice little nose of a little baby.
