Trip

Well, we're quickly approaching the trip that could be the opportunity of a lifetime for both my wife and me. At the same time, I'm trying to prepare myself in the event that something doesn't work out. I have a couple of more places that I'm checking into, and both seem interested. I'm optimistic, which is quite surprising for me if you have known me very long. I'm believing things will work out just fine. I'm not stressed so much although apparently my body is going through a stomach virus thing (thanks, people at work!).

We're trying to get things together. Slowly, our Winter clothes have been arriving. We've had to switch out a few pieces here and there because of sizing. It's very exciting, though. We're hopeful to get a chance to look at a few places while we're there. My wife is an excellent trip organizer/packer. My mom and grandmother plan to take us to the airport as well as pick us up. That's exciting because our kids will get to see the planes and the airport. We have extremely early flights (worst of which is Wednesday). That's what sleep on the plane is for. :)

(On a side note, if any of you are now selling things door to door, be prepared. I almost grew incredibly angry at this pushy kid selling educational crap. There was a huge degree of guilt and arrogance, which does nothing more than irritate/anger me. A few more seconds of me saying the word "no" would have probably become ugly.)
