Countdown! (051/365)

Day 51 Happy: One week until my vacation!!!

I will leave for Georgia a week from today! I will be at the airport when my sister comes home from Italy, get to see my parents, and hang out with my brothers for a few days. Not only will it be nice to get away from work, internship and homework for a couple of days, but I really miss my family and love it when I get to spend time with them.

Now, all I have to do is make it through this week!

Day 46 Happy: Getting to see my little sister soon!

My sister, Lyndsey, has been living in Italy as an au pair for the last year. I have got to talk to her on the phone, online and via webcam, but it's just not the same as seeing her in person. Our family spent the first Christmas this last year where one of the kids was missing, and it just wasn't the same. But, exactly two weeks from today, she is coming home! I am going to be flying up to Georgia to be with the rest of my family, and welcome her home at the airport. It is going to be so much fun!!

Day 9 Happy: Plane tickets!

My little sister, Lyndsey, has been in Italy for almost a year. The last time I saw her in person was when she was getting ready to go through security to board her plane on her way to Europe. When she finally set a day in stone that she was going to be home, I started looking for plane tickets for myself. I wanted to be able to be with the rest of my family, and greet her at the airport when she came home from her trip.

My patience paid off! Today, I got a round trip ticket from Tampa to Atlanta for just under $160, including taxes and fees! When I started looking, they were almost $300. I feel like so much pressure is off now, because I know will be there to welcome my sister home, and I will get to spend a precious few days with my family.

I can't wait until my trip!
