My parents are now in Vancouver. They left in the very early hours of the morning, Iowa time. From the moment I got up till the time Rebecca was in route to pick me up to head to the airport, I was flying all around the house cleaning. Maybe it was the cleaning fumes, but I swear I was getting the nervous feeling in my stomach. That sense that something big is about to happen. The simple fact that this was just my parents.
They’re just not coming for a short visit, though. This is our wedding we’re talking about. We had to leave them waiting just a little while at the airport, but I felt all the nervousness fade away once I saw them in the arrival area in the international terminal. It’s just a shame that the clouds have returned and they are not able to see all of the beauty Vancouver truly has to offer.
