I'm going home!!!!!!
Last year we couldn't afford (both time-off-work and monetarily) to go back home to Canada for Christmas....so we went to Texas and spent the holidays with Art's brother, girlfriend, roommate and his girlfriend. While it was fun, I missed my family A LOT!!! It was my first Christmas away from them.
After that, I made my husband promise that we would go home this year....and we are! Unfortunately our tickets weren't cheap (Art's sick of driving to other cities to fly from) because we're flying from this small little crappy airport with only 4 airlines (and only 2 that fly to Canada). Almost $800 for the both of us to go home for a week.....and that includes 3 (!!!!) stopovers and a total of 10 hours travel time!!!!
But I couldn't be happier!!! We leave on Christmas Eve and return New Years Day (saved $300 flying these days!).....this means I get to spend New Years Eve with my sisters, partying it up at home!!!
The only downside: I haven't seen snow in 2 years! I'm gonna freeze my Canadian-accustomed-to-Southern-living butt off!!!!!!
Halifax had 8 inches of snow yesterday and I called my mom and laughed at her for 5 minutes....she said "You just wait till you get off the plane sweetie......and remember you laughing now! I will have no pity for you!"
Gotta love my mom!
