It’s gonna be a looooooong week!
One more week. Seven more days. 168 more hours. 10,080 more minutes…I could go on but I’m even boring myself.To sum up, Lauren and I are leaving in a week, and though I can’t speak for her, I’m starting to get pretty damned excited. I’m trying not to, since it was around this close to our departure date in May that Mr. Mono decided to pay me a visit and screwed everything up, but I just can’t help it. It’s been a while since I went on a trip for a significant amount of time, and this will be a first in many areas for both Lauren and I: First trip to the UK, first trip for this long without our parents (sad but true), first time backpacking, staying in hostels, travelling on the train (for me at least, not to sure about Lauren on that one). Basically our first real taste on independence. At 21 this might seem like something which is long overdue, but staying at home while going to university is exactly what has provided me with the opportunity to be able to finance my own trip abroad. My parents have been very generous in their support for my studies, and with careful spending and even more careful saving, Lauren and I have been able to squirrel away enough money to head out and see the world (well, not the WHOLE thing, but you’ve got to start somewhere, right?).
This time is also pretty exciting for me because we’ve sold our house and have found a new home which isn’t far at all from where we are now. Living in the same house for 10 years has made it hard to accept the fact that we’re leaving, but lately with all the planning surrounding the new house, it’s getting hard not to be excited about starting something new. I’ll miss my old house (and especially my back yard…the one at the new place is TINY!), but change is something you have to get used to, and this is just the start of many changes which are bound to take place over the next few years…
