As I managed to quite gloss over<\/del> mentioned in my Canadian trip summary, I was quite pleased to be able to squeeze some time in to meet up with Christine<\/a> while we were in Saint John at the end of July.<\/p>\n

I can honestly say that meeting Christine was the highlight of the trip for me. \ud83d\ude42 Not to be unfair to Terry’s dad or anything, I just am not terribly comfortable around strangers, I don’t drink and being seated with the wedding party but not actually part of the wedding party was a bit awkward for me. So, the wedding was wonderful, but I was really excited about meeting Christine. <\/p>\n

We ended up with such a narrow window of time and I was unable to get to my email nearly the entire time we were in Canada, so I almost missed the opportunity because I couldn’t look up the phone number that Christine had emailed me. I am so grateful that Christine was patiently waiting for my call and we were able to get together after all. I wasn’t actually nervous until we walked into the food court at the mall where we were meeting and realized that, while I knew what Christine looked like, we hadn’t really arranged anything specific to identify ourselves. I get a bit flustered in large, public areas, so I felt a bit lost and am sure I had the look of a frightened deer blinded by the bright headlights of an oncoming car about to hit me until Terry noticed a woman waving at us. As soon as I looked and saw it was Christine, I was so relieved! \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n

The first minute or so of any first-time meeting is always awkward, especially for me. Mostly because I’m a very huggy person and I never know for sure if the other person is receptive to that or not. Fortunately, Christine is also a hugger, so there were no worries. We made our introductions, sat down and I started yammering away. I can assure you that, contrary to most of her photos, Christine is quite capable of smiling and has a beautiful smile at that. I think she’s just trying to keep it a secret. Well, the secret is out now! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I don’t remember if we were there for an hour or an hour and a half or so, but whatever it was, time flew by very quickly. I wish that we had been able to stay longer and visit more, but our schedule was tightly controlled while we were in Canada. We had a lovely time, though, and hopefully will be able to visit again. Thanks Christine!<\/p>\n
