The best laid plans....
Over the course of the last month or two, Melissa and I have come to the sad realization that we're finanically doomed if we remain in Nova Scotia. Because of this realization, we've made a few changes to our master plan:
We've changed the wedding date from April 26, 2009 to August 23, 2008. Also, instead of having a large, lavish ceremony, we've decided to cut costs wherever we can on the wedding. This will allow us to start saving to move the family back to BC much sooner than if we kept the wedding scheduled for next year.
As a result of these changes, we've also decided to change the focus of the Bob Loves Melissa website. Instead of using the site as a way to help pay for the honeymoon, any money raised through the site will now go toward the move back to BC. Once we've moved back and we're back to the income that I've been accustomed to, we'll be able to afford the honeymoon without any help. We just won't be able to take our honeymoon immediately after our wedding, we'll have to wait a while instead.
This decision is the best possible one for our family, since the cost of living being the same in Nova Scotia as it is in British Columbia, but my income is several thousands of dollars less in NS than it was in BC, and I'll be able to go back to working for eBay when we return to Vancouver and make the same amount of money I was making before we left.
On a different note, Carter is doing fantastic. He's growing so fast, it's crazy. He already fits in clothes that are labelled 18 months... wow.
I can't wait until the Summertime when Abigail comes up for a month from Fredericton, she's really excited to be able to get to know her little brother, as well as live with her old man again for a while.
