Oh Chel. Things have really moved along quite fast. Perhaps this is a good thing. I think you are right, that he needs to go on this journey to see if it will make him happy or not. He doesn't realise how different Canada (and particularly Quebec) is to middle America. I lived in St. Louis, and in the 3 cities across Canada (I am also an immigrant to Canada from overseas). It is a culture shock, and it has taken me years to integrate, and having my family here helped me, while he is on his own. Who knows how much greener the grass is on the other side? Quebec is extremely cold too and it rains a lot.
I am glad that you are leaving it up to him to inform people, like his boss, and family. Although, they may ask you why you didn't warn them --- be prepared to answer them.
Our Thanksgiving is in early October, but thanks for the good wishes. I have so much for which to be thankful.
I am also glad you will someone with you over Christmas. It gives you someone else to focus on.
Take care.
