Road trippin and other updates

Feeling better today, less oozing nastiness, but still reasonably sore. I ventured out last night to the Nicol house to see the whole crew, and I am glad I got to go.

Today my mom and I went to a local craft show and talked this lady into giving me a shirt for free because the last two I bought are now "belly" shirts. :)


Other than that, travel plans are in the works!!!

Jon and I are looking at a trip to Ft. Myers over spring break, if we can find a cheap enough flight. So far the rates are around 400 for the times we need. He needs to check into work and see if he can have the days off, and I also need to maybe take one day off. But we both figure it is kinda worth it considering our other costs would be slim to none.

So hopefully things will fall into place for the first week in April. I love being in Ft. Myers, and it will be so nice to have the condo to ourselves and be able to lay on the beach, swim in the ocean, and just relax.


Plans are also being made for a "sisters" trip to Montana!!! So far, aunt Pat, aunt Terry, and my mom are on board... and me and my cousin Pam are probably going to go too!!! This is GREAT news because Pam and I are going to make plans to visit Glacier National Park, which is about 45 miles from where my aunt Gloria and uncle John have a house (on Flathead Lake). I have always wanted to go to Glacier, and I think a trip with Pam will be SO much fun. We have a blast together and we both like outdoors and hiking and things like that, so I think we could make a pretty sweet trip out of it. That is going to be the 2nd week in August, we think.


The last plans, of course, are Australia... which I am still on board with. Hopefully things will continue on the right track there, which reminds me I have some things to do for People 2 People. But yeah, that final date is June 20th to July 10th.


After THAT (July 14th!) is uncle Jim and Maureen's wedding... which should be a total blow out party. I can't WAIT! There are so many awesome things to look foward to this year!!!


You know, some people say that your lucky year is the year that you turn the age of your birthday. Yeah, I know, that does not make sense. But I am turning 26 on the 26th this year... and so far, it is feeling like a really good one. There are a lot of things to smile about!


Also, my brother and I have been chatting about moving out. We both hope to move out by the end of the summer, which seems a perfectly good idea to me. By the end of the summer, I will have gotten all that travel out of the way, and I will have money from working at the hospital all summer and whatnot... so I should be ready to roll. I have begun making a good dent in my savings account (errr, maybe not dent?, I am saving money, finally!) and this summer I will be getting a significant amount of money from a bonus at work, and money back from the class I am taking, and all that good stuff. :)


So, yes, today things are looking up, despite the depressing outcome of my laparoscopy.... as I said, lots of awesome things to look forward to!
