Leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again
Ok, it's official - I'm packed and ready to head out. My flight is leaving at 3 or 3:30 - I suppose I should get that straight prior to arriving at the airport aye? Bonnie is having a spaghetti dinner for me tonight, my folks should be here relatively soon. Jen & Josh were supposed to be back from San Antonio today at 2ish. BUT, something about there flight (I didn't get the details) being delayed/cancelled and now they won't get here until 10 pm. So, I'm not going to have any time to spend with Tristen (& my sister) before I leave which really bothers me. Enough that I haven't seen him in 2 weeks - guess we'll go ahead and extend that to 4 mos & 2 weeks. I'm really trying not to be upset about it, it's not their fault! I just hate that I didn't get to spend any time with them... Then my mom calls me a little later after the above bad news and tells me that JP put his truck in a ditch. (He's fine, truck is fine) Nice - can anything else happen today? Ugh.
I think I'm just really stressed out about leaving. I packed 1 lg suitcase, 1 med suitcase and a lg bag - do you think I even have a clue what is inside them? I open up my closet and there are tons of clothes inside of it, so what exactly did I pack? Again, ugh..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A little time has lapsed now - dinner was wonderful! The fam just left to drop off the other part of the fam who just now arrived in Erie. I have been playing phone tag with my other sister Stac all day. My neices (who are absolutley adorable) left me the cutest message on my voicemail! I can't believe it's going to be another year before I see them again.
I'm a little nervous about everything tomorrow - wait, who am I kidding - I'm nervous about the entire week. I think I have my orientation all day on Monday & Tuesday. Then Wed, Thurs & Fri are open to us. Since I know I didn't pack anything posh enough to were in London - I guess that means SHOPPING! Woooo Whoooo!
Oh, a real quick side note, has anyone ever mailed anything approx 30lbs overseas? Take a wild guess how much it would cost....... $50? No. $100? Not even close. Try $200. Yep. Bonnie says to me "Well Jamie, I was going to bake you cookies and send them, but at that price it looks like I'll be sending you 1 cookie!!" Funny lady!
Ok - need to get to bed now. I will post next when I am all set up in LONDON!
Yeah Baby!
:) Cheers! :)
