West Coast Bound

Do ya'll remember my friend Christy from BC who recently had little baby Carter? Remember how much I love her and miss her?

Well, I don't know if I mentioned this before, but Matty is actually from Ontario. He grew up not to far from where Andrew and I live. A good friend of his is getting married at the beginning of October, and Matty is standing up in the wedding. That means that Matty is coming to Ontario, but Christy isn't. Traveling with an energetic toddler and a newborn would not be my thing either, so Christy, I totally understand. Not to mention that Malachi would be two by then, which means they would have had to pay for three plane tickets. Yah, not going to happen. 

Matty has specific plans to come and hang out at our place, and skateboard with Andrew. That left me, alone with Coral in Ontario, and Christy alone with Malachi and Carter in BC. We were both sad and jealous of our hubbys. 

Don't worry fellow readers, this story Im telling you doesn't have a sad ending. 

While working on a painting, Andrew came into the room and said "Go online and find a seat sale to BC." I didn't hesitate. I got online right away, found the cheapest flight I could, and booked it! Following that there was a lot of screaming and jumping that went on between Coral and I (she got very excited when I told her she would get to play with Malachi...even though Im sure she doesn't remember who he is). 

I told you this story has a happy ending. Andrew will be trading Coral and I, for Matty from the end of September to beginning of October. Yup, that means its only four short weeks away till I am back in the West Coast. The decision was made so fast that I feel like I am still in a bit of shock. I haven't allowed myself to think about traveling with a toddler all by myself across the country yet. 

Anyway, just thought I would share that exciting news with you.
