I have been waiting so long for this, and now it's almost time.
We leave for our visit to England on Saturday! And we get to visit our Mom's at last. It's been so long and such a tough couple of years.
We were supposed to visit two years ago, but my hubby had the surgery on his spine and was told he wouldn't walk again, so we had to cancel our trip.
Since then he has made great progress as you know - he now walks with a cane.
My neice is getting married next week, so as soon as we heard about it we decided we would go to England for the wedding. I decided to treat myself and I have some beautiful new clothes. I will be speaking at the wedding, as my neice asked me to do a reading. I felt so honored.
After all the wedding festivities are over, hubby and I, along with my sister and her hubby, are getting on a flight to the Canary Islands. We have rented a villa in Los Cristianos for a week. It looks beautiful and has a heated pool - I can't wait! Both my sister and I like to swim, so we will have a really good time.
The villa is so beautiful that my neice asked us how many bedrooms it has, thinking that they might just tag along! My sister told her, "Sorry - this is a trip for sisters only, we don't get much time together so we don't share."
So the happy couple will have to wait until their honeymoon in April.
Meanwhile the other two happy couples will be relaxing in the sunshine!
I'm so happy that I just had to share - I feel like the luckiest woman in the world.
Oh - and I did manage to lose my last ten pounds!!!!
