Well that was the end of Seattle and Bremerton. The next morning we packed 'er up again and grabbed the Bremerton-Seattle Ferry back into the city where we caught a cab to the bus station. We were both longing for a SUB from SUBway so I went looking while Chad checked us in. Right around the corner--we were in luck. So lunch in toe we hopped on the Grayhound yet again and headed back to Vancouver where we were to catch our flight back home the next morning. Getting off the Grayhound we walked back through downtown Vancouver to the Skytrain, took that around the city and then hoped the city transit for a really long ride out of the city to the airport. I thought we must look rediculous with all of our luggage on the public transit, but at the same time a cab that far out of the city would have cost us an arm and a leg. We spent a really nice night at the Delta beside the airport and hit the airport the next morning at 11:30am to head home.
I was excited to get back home but a little sad too. I so loved spending time with Chad, I hadn't really noticed how little time we spent together in the very busy year, with all the church things and everything else that took us from each other. I thought a lot on the way back home, about our life together, about being a couple "together" and how hard that is to do in today's society, and even, or especially in church ministry. I longed for it to be different, but am still unsure as to how to make that happen.
The lights were so pretty as we flew into Moncton at 11:00pm. My heart longed for home.
We missed the proper exit and headed off to Shediac, but luckily got ourselves turned around. We made it home at 2:00. It was so nice to walk into our little home, it's so cozy. I was thankful we couldn't see how much the untended grass had grown while we were away!
Home for 5 days, then on to new adveture--Newfoundland!
