On Our Way

Well the trip has begun!  Shay can't change his mind anymore. (Well, actually he probably could until we step onto that airplane. But he's through security so chances are he won't)

I had a fabulous week in Mission with Shay and his family. We helped his mom prepare for her wedding and I was so blessed to be included in their celebration. It was a beautiful wedding in the most amazing setting. Heritage Park in Mission is home to the Blackberry Kitchen. Shay's mom and her new husband are running the restaurant. I'm sure they won't mind this shameless plug... because their place is amazing. Not only amazing food but a beautiful setting in the park and a fabulous view!  It was an amazing venue for their wedding.  

Shay also treated me to a day out to Lynn Canyon and with their help it included a picnic basket that he produced quite to my surprise.  They actually do that at the restaurant: call ahead and order a picnic basket for you and your sweetheart, family, or even a group of friends to enjoy in the park. Shay got special permission to leave the park, but there has to be some perks to being the son!  

Anyways, I was totally surprised and overwhelmed that he actually put that much effort in to make sure I didn't know that they had snuck it into his Jeep that morning.  And of course Lynn Canyon is beautiful. It was nice to get to see the mountains and ocean before we left Canada for 8 months.

So now there is 10 mins till boarding... EXCITING!  Keep checking back for the next bit of news!
