I think after yesterday's emotional entry...I deserve a gimme. (Sorry Porky, you're not gonna like it!) So here goes...
I just booked a trip to New Orleans. My best friend from High School (the same girl who cried in my driveway when I left for Michigan State) moved there after graduation to go to Tulane.
She never came back.
::sigh::
We've seen each other a few times throughout college, but since I graduated (and moved to Montana, and then moved to Minnesota) those visits have become few and far between. I've never been to Lousiana, though she's begged me since 2002 to come visit.
Well, Liz...I told you I would, and I'm a woman of my word (albeit nearly 9 years late...but who's counting? right??)
I just booked my flight to New Orleans. Well, allow me to rephrase...not just New Orleans...but New Orleans in the midst of Mardi Gras. This sounds like the time I thought it would be a good idea to book a trip to Cancun during Spring Break. But that ended up being fun...and I'm sure this will too.
I'm uber excited. I haven't taken a non-family vacation since college. That's the fun part about working out of state...your vacation time is eaten up by trips home for the holidays (not that that isn't fun, because it is!), but this is my first selfish trip...my first joy ride...my first solo mission to the unknown (ha...that's a little dramatic) - in years...and I couldn't be happier.
I'm thankful I have such a wonderful friend to visit, and that she's welcoming me with open arms. I'm thankful she lives in a warm climate, and is as excited to see me as I am her. I'm also thankful that (after days of searching) I found a ticket I could afford...and that...as of (about an hour ago) I am all booked and ready to go.
I'm NEW ORLEANS BOUND BABY!! And I'm thankful for that ;)
