It's Sinking In...

I found out yesterday I would be coming home to visit and I am still beyond excited. However, the reality of the situation has set in. First, I have a lot to plan. Seeing family and friends spread out over two states won't be an easy task. Especially when the first full day in the states will be spent driving to Orlando and then flying to Kansas City, possibly with a layover in between. I will be there for three days, one day devoted to friends-an event that is already being planned. The other two days will be spent with family, Aunt Missy, Aunt Kelli and the uncles. Grandma will be there as well in the mix and it will be so hard to devote quality time with everyone! Woe is me.

The following week I am soaking up everything in America, other than the people and the English. I'm talking about Taco Bell, Wendys, Target, Chilis, Red Lobster and Olive Garden. Delicious! And oh the stores! American Eagle, Express, J.Crew and Victorias Secret! I think Joan will start worrying as soon as he reads this....How much damage can I do in 10 days?

Anyway, I'm excited,nervous,scared....it has been one year exactly since I've been home. So many things happen in one year...but that's a whole other post.

Today we're in Lloret, Joan slept in after our dinner with the boss. We didn't get home until 2 a.m! A 5 hour business dinner! It was fun, informative and we are both feeling very positive about the future, I'll leave it at that for now. I'll just say I absolutley love my boss and I can safely say she feels the same about me. If I just do my job well-good things will happen!

Tomorrow I'm going to La Roca Shopping Village with Maribel and Ariana. I'm thinking some new pieces for my work wardrobe, black is always safe, right? Tonight Joan wants to go to Shabir's to watch the futbol match, I'm not so inclined. I would love to rent some movies and watch them with mi suegra but I'm not sure of her plans either.

Hope your weekend is splendid as mine has been so far!
