Ben and Jess were out for lunch yesterday.  They were in Kelowna last weekend, so we hadn’t seen to much of them.  They were house hunting.  Now they’re in the process of talking to a mortgage broker to see how much of a mortgage they can carry.  They’re looking into a condo or towne house, in a great location.  Preferably a fixer-upper that Ben can renovate.  He’s lucky, in that he’s been working as a finishing carpenter for the past year and a half, so he has all the skills he needs to do the job properly.

While I would never say anything to them, because Ben gave me the opportunity to when he first told me of their plan to move to Kelowna, hubby and I sure have some reservations about their decision.  That is aside from the fact that we’re just used to them being around, and will miss being able to see them any old time.  Ben has such a bright future here. He has a construction job he enjoys, has 2 years left of school, is very highly thought of by the radio stations he works for, and has likely his best shot of fulfilling his dream of having a career in radio right here, and Jess has a GREAT job and is doing the best she’s ever done in a job.  They’re leaving it all, and it makes me a bit nervous, and sad.  But that’s just a Momma bear thing.  I hope it all comes together for the 2 of them!
