Exciting News... And A Little Mundane.

Sooo... I'm very excited about the fact that I bought my airline ticket for Thailand! The departure date is August 14th, and ironically enough, I enter Thailand on August 16th, one year after I left. It might seem a little early to be purchasing tickets, but with the rising cost of, well, everything, it's not gonna get any cheaper. Having bought the ticket makes this trip seem just a little more "real":o).

I leave two weeks from tomorrow for a week trip with a big destination in mind: graduation! I'm flying to Chicago where I'll be picked up by my Mid-West family; from there we'll drive up to South Dakota for graduation. And then, since we're in the area, my family and I are going to travel the extra hour (or five) to go to Mount Rushmore, since it is highly unlikely I'll ever get to that section of the country again:o).

Saturday was a "family day" since my soon-to-be sister-in-law's bridal shower was that day. I'm excited that they are finally getting married:o).

The big day is coming up on May 24th, which will be a crazy time for me. I'll just be coming back from graduation and a ton of family will be in, so posting might be sparse then. But you're used to that by now, aren't ya?!? Don't worry; I'll be a very faithful blogger in Thailand again, I'm sure!
