Hello devoted readers! My topic is happiness today. It hasn't been that way in a long time so I feel it deserves an entire post. :-) I am very thankful right now for everything that is going on, not only in my life but those around me as well.
-Sarah just had something done that makes her more comfortable in her skin AND has just accepted a wonderful job offer that lets her travel to NYC and live on her own (which btw I wasn't kidding about wanting to tag along on one of those trips!).
-Rachel has found the love of her life and is about to graduate from grad school and then land an awesome job (I know you will, you are getting that job!).
-Lara is getting certified and then will be moving to Dallas (ok that last part isn't true yet but I'm working on it).
-Lauren will be moving to Dallas very soon.. I can feel it in my bones!
-And then there is of course me.. I have also found the love of my life, I have a new job lined up for August that will be absolutely amazing (because after this year.. anything will be amazing), I am going on two trips this summer (explain that in a second), and my mom is almost cancer free (her counts went down again... when she wasn't taking ANY chemo!!!)!! :-)
As you can see.. I'm a little worried I might die from happiness :-)
About the trips.. the wedding I was going to go to in Annapolis, Maryland was cancelled so we decided to cancel the trip. I was able to get all of my money back but with the flight I have credit (which hopefully I am using for the Harry Potter trip or a spring break trip). So I am now down to two trips for the summer: Oregon for Habitat for Humanity and the Mediterranean cruise with some of the family. I really can't complain seeing those two trips.. I guess that just means I can save more money for trips next year.
Ideas for places to go starting after August (because my years are still in school years):
-Harry Potter Theme Park (Florida) (most likely over Thanksgiving break)
-New York with Sarah ;-)
-Northern Italy, Austria and Switzerland (this is supposed to be Amanda's graduation present from the rents-I'm hoping it happens next summer)
-Germany
-Hawaii (this will be taken with my mom- we talked about spring break next year or the summer)
Those are the places I think could actually happen, I just need to find people who will go with me. :-) And if you would like to go on a trip and need a buddy.. I am always available :-)
