A lot of things have been happening. I put in my resignation at work. After many long emails and phone calls, I FINALLY got my visa approved, but I still have to go to the consulate office once I get done with work, because of course they are only open from 9am-1pm, to get my passport stamped and show all original documents. Last but not least I've pretty much planned my going away party... pending a few minor details and sending the invitation to everyone (it should be coming soon).
I am really excited about the trip, but every day that passes I get more and more nervous. There are so many unknowns. Its like the emotions of excited and scared blend together to form one enormous anxious ball in the pit of your stomach. I am really going to miss people here... Its a really weird feeling because at some point a person begins to feel bad for being excited. If you've never been in this situation, you won't understand, but its as if being excited to leave means that I am excited to leave the people and places I care about. I don't want to leave, but I want to go. I want to have new adventures, see new places, meet new people and explore the world but I also want to be here and be with my family at the same time. I've been thinking about this a lot lately and trying to figure out how to sort it all out in my head. It's difficult to talk about because its hard to explain. All I hope is that when the time comes for me to start waking up in Mexico, ALL those people I care about are still in my life, no matter how distant.
Ok, on a lighter note, I'm trying to find PJ a home down here in south Florida so I don't have to ship her to Wisconsin. She is a great cat, and I am going to miss her a lot!! I found out the other day that SHE LIKES PINK!!!! Talk to you guys soon! :)
