Oh my oh my how plans and expectations can change...
As I had mentioned, my upcoming trip was to be my sister, my kids and I. Especially looking forward to it since losing our mom last month. Well...my sister has since gotten custody of her 15 month old grandson and will not be able to make the trip this year
My heart broke when she told me since I know she had been looking forward to going to Disney for the very first time.
Now, for a quick bit of info on me, relevant to the rest of the story
, not to long ago I had reconnected with my 'first love' from when I was 18. We had been together for 3 years when went our separate ways and had our own lives. He contacted me and we started talking and realized we still had feelings for each other (aww
) and have since gotten back together. Well, my sister suggested taking him in her place; oops, I hadn't even thought of that
.
I had felt bad originally because I was planning on leaving on August 23rd to drive down to FL. The 23rd is his b-day so it was like, "happy birthday we're leaving for 2 weeks, have fun home alone." Of course he had understood that this was planned before he was in the picture so he wasn't worried about it. Well, now I get to tell him that he can go! Talk about mixed emotions, heart broken that my sister cant go, but happy that he can go...what a roller coaster lately LOL
So later on I get to break the news to him, call Disney and change guests, rearrange ADR's and celebrations and basically start planning all over again
