Have you ever been so ready to get out of your current situation to the point where even a gynecology appointment sounded good?

I’m so there.

Maybe for some of you its work, or going to the inlaws, I’m sure you are thinking of your “thing“ this very moment.

For me it is staying here.

Tomorrow, Praise the Lord, we are off. I woke up this morning full of jubulation. I seriously wanted to shout out undecipherable words, flailng my hands everywhere while jumping on the bed. I am beyond just “so ready for vacation,” I am in an entirely different hemisphere of “ready.” I am literally foaming at the mouth.

Things at the Brady Bunch complex got better ever since the whole “let’s lay everything on the table” night, but they have continued to be so very tense and awkward and have seemed to get worse again over the last week or so. I’m not sure what it is. They are either upset with me, or Will, or both of us… I don’t know. Maybe they are just ready for us to go. Today something happened (and unfortuantely I can no longer say since I have been forced into “Witness Protection") and it took everything inside of me to keep my head from rotating and vomitting pea soup.

I so wish I could vent here.

Anyway, I think my parents are just as ready for us to leave. I don’t know what brought me to this conclusion…

maybe it was the fact that my mom made my dad call the lady at housing to see if there was any way possible we could have our own place the night we got back from this trip…

can’t be sure though…

Can anyone book me that optometrist appointment?

So, I don’t know if it’s just “we are so ready for you to get out because you’ve lived with us far to long” awkwardness that is mounting between us or something else, but I know that whatever it is, we need to go in order to salvage what we still have.

You want to hear the kicker? We won’t be able to get an apartment until after the 5th or 6th. So more waiting.

Enough about that. I am posting today simply because I do not want to be packing. Back up… I know I just went on and on (to the point where you almost clicked off my blog) about how excited I was to be going, but I really am not looking forward to packing. We have been living out of our suitcases for over three months now, so I’m tired of looking at them. Luckily my parents are lending us their suitcases so we don’t have to dump our crap everywhere and then have to repack when we move out of their aparmtnet (7 years later… or at least it seems that way). I have tons of clothes still in boxes, which are so very carefully stacked that if I would ever need to get into them, they would collapse like a game of Jenga. So, I’m only taking what I have in my suitcase, and it’s quite a limited selection. From what I hear its swimming pool humid. Your clothes seem to get heavier and looser throughout the day because there is so much moisture in the air.

Gross.

I am really looking forward to our flight over tomorrow and I can’t wait to tell you all about it, especially after last week’s experience! We are flying their country’s airline, which was ranked 8th in the world. Okay, yes, I know that’s like saying “I won 8th place in a beauty contest that had 10 people in it!” but seriously, I think there are a ton of airlines out there so I’m thinkig it will be a nice trip over- it couldn’t be worse than Kuwait Air that’s for sure!

So, in a way I will actually be on the same weekend as you. Wow. I know you are so thrilled.  I hope you have a great day! I can’t wait to fill you all in on what is going on while we’re away!

See you, from yet another country, tomorrow! <3

Later that night retraction…

Okay, it’s been a few hours since my post, but be it the fact that they are ready for us to leave tomorrow, or maybe something else, my family was very pleasant this evening. Hopefully things will stay that way. Anyway, I thought I should add that in just incase “someone” was reading this.
