California Baby

I received a call from my best friend today that she is planning on having her baby in Cali. I guess I should clarify that my friend lives in Cairo and she would like me to fly out with her to help her get settled in. I would love to be able to help her and be with her during this time because it's one of the milestones in life. The catch is that I would be there with her for about 3-4 weeks and the only thing keeping me from jumping up and down saying yes is......work. Isn't that awful? So I'm hoping that I will be able to make it out with her. Keeping fingers crossed.
