Hey, it's Chris. So Carolyn and I grew up in Alberta but our paths never crossed until we were both fortunate enough to experience the Malibu Club community while working for Young Life through summers on the Sunshine Coast. Carolyn organized food and guided mountain trips for the Beyond Malibu hiking program and I ran the food services for the Malibu Club cranking out up to 1200 meals a day for the high school aged campers. We were both too busy to really take any time to connect romantically but finally seven years down the road, we both found ourselves back on the Sunshine Coast and sparks flew. ;)
Being Alberta transplants there was never really any doubt that BC would be our long term home. Who could really go back to winters at -25 degrees? Ummm, not us!
Once our time wrapped up at Malibu and we were happily married, we decided to make Sechelt the place to throw down roots. We bought our first house, had a beautiful baby boy (Kaiden) and got to work doing all those responsible grown up things that people tend to do.
All this time I would listen to Carolyn's "one day" dreams of being close to the water and enjoying time on the beach every day. "We're like a 5min walk from the water" I'd say, "What more do you want?" Well little did I truly realize that Carolyn is a woman of big dreams and even larger levels of drive.
Fast forward to 2016 and here we find ourselves in negotiations to purchase this waterfront property. Carolyn had viewed this house 5 years earlier and set her sights on making it happen. Well, through the modern miracle that is bank financing and the hard work of my lady we made the purchase official in Jan 2016 and moved in to our dream home. The place where we planned to grow old together... or so we thought.
