Have I missed anyone else? Do update me if I have. I don't want to leave out anyone!
So I was about to get in to bed but decided this would be the perfect time to sneak on and touch base with everyone. I just made hubbie his late night snack and kissed him good night. Waited oh but 1 min for the light snore to kick in and then quickly scurried over to my breakfast bar and to turn on my lap top. (It really does take him 1 min or less to fall asleep).
Where do I start? I recall the last post I made was about seeing everyone on the other side. So here goes.......
I arrived at Pearson mins after midnight of the 14th and was feeling calm. I think I had built up so much anxiety that I couldn't be any more nervous than I was. I'm very grateful to have had a very special friend hold my hand throughout the day, counting down every hour, sending me screen shots of where the flight was, and staying with me while I raced down the 401 to get to the airport on time. Ladies, make sure you have that one friend who can do this for you on that day for without him/her, you may just collapse like I almost did.
So I want to give a special thanks to Miss D who was a true friend to me that entire day especially when I got stuck in traffic on the 401 mins before hubbie's plane was about to land. I was in panic mode an you kept me focus.
Also, Nev, thank you for giving me jokes throughout the day and being a cheerleader in one of the most important days of my life.
......So Hubbie's plane landed right at 12:12 and I waited about 30 mins before he made his grand exit. I only recall seeing the two doors slide apart and seeing his handsome face. Boy he looked so darn good I tell you. In that moment, the feeling is surreal. These past years of being the one to get on a plane to see him, I couldn't believe he was the one to coming to me this time. Here is where I may disappoint you all but in all honesty, there wasn't really a big show like you would see in the movies where you run towards each other in slow motion, get lifted up in the air and kiss passionately for mins.
He simply smiled, walked over, held me and gave me a sweet kiss saying, I'm here baby, I'm finally here.
So without wasting anymore time, I bundled him up and we left. His reaction to the cold was that he LOVED it. As cold as it was, he just loved it!! I couldn't believe it. LOL!!
I took the long route home as I wanted him to see the Toronto skyline the first night. We went to have Chinese food which he devoured!! He keeps asking to go back!!!
Y'all are prolly thinking we've been making moon babies the last few days right? Well yes but it's been more like when we can fit it in!! We've had so much to do!! Since he's been here, we've gone grocery shopping, went to Winners to check out some winter gear, took him out to a really cool spot called Joe Mama's yesterday evening and we even hit up a club that a good friend of mine invited us to called 6 degrees. Ironically it happened to be Jamaica & Trinidad special long weekend night. Since my friend was the promoter for the event, we got on a special guest list that didn't require us to pay cover charge (big savings of $50) and drink tickets all night!! Had a blast!!
I think the only thing that has me a little tired is all the cooking I've been doing (not that kind of cooking)!! Hubbie is sooooo in love with my cooking, says he's in food heaven and has never tasted food so good. (That's huge coming from him) I held back cooking for him all this time as he's always done the cooking!!
Here are a few items from the Moon menu the last few days:
Buttered Banana pancakes, bacon, and sweet pepper omelette
Garlic Shrimp, Alfredo linguine
Southern style baked chicken with garlic buttered mash potatoes with the skin and sweet corn
His late night snack tonight....triple stacked grilled cheese and 4 Oreo cookies
The other day when we were out, I ordered poutine and hubbie asked why he got regular fries and I got the poutine. I had this look on my face. :-X
Turns out he loved it!!!someone@example.com
So to conclude, our start has been amazing. Most important thing for me is that he is comfortable. He wakes up everyday expressing how happy and lucky he is.
His daily words to me have been, I want you to always be happy with me babes, because if you're not, then I have no reason to be.
My words to you my friends is that life is a journey take it one day at a time. Don't rush and try to get everything done all at once. Map out a plan and stick to it. No matter what, always make time to show appreciation to one another and express gratitude for having each other. Being miles apart these past 2 1/2 years will always be a reminder to not sweat the small stuff....Life is too short for that. Make every day count. Savour the moment and live in the now.
Thank you everyone for all your love and support. You guys will always be my family.
Big Love.
Lastly, Y'all know I can't leave out the pics!!
