All set!

So a couple weeks ago I met a coworker online! I was glad to hear that I would know someone upon arrival at the airport and during the week of training. We've been talking often and have become friends! Having someone to go through this whole process with is a huge relief! She booked her flight and we are on the same one! We moved our seats so that we are next to each other so yay! we wont have to deal with sitting directly next to someone who snores, little screaming babies, and someone who thinks they can share part of my chair. Plus we can talk about what to expect when we arrive!! Things are coming together nicely! I'm done buying all of my suits, I have 5 suits plus one suit jacket. I need to buy shoes, and blouses. Finding comfy shoes are a problem, i will need to be able to walk 30minutes in them AT LEAST. I'm also in the process of buying other things I will need to bring... I bought 2 bottles of my parfume today, deoderant (they don't have the brands i like there), hair product (my hair is difficult), makeup(again i'm particular and its crazy expensive over there, Revlon is sold at a beauty counter LOL), Advil, etc, etc. the list goes on and on! Things are just coming together nicely, and I can't wait to go!

Plane ticket.... check

Today I bought my plane ticket! It is official! The deeper I get into this process the more real it seems to me. I'm very excited and I can't wait. I'm so glad I checked with an agent, I almost paid $111 more if I didn't. I'm still a little nervous about buying a ticket without having my Certificate Of Eligibility in hand because there is still a a chance the date could change due to paperwork. Granted the chance is small but then again it is still a possibility. Why did i bite the bullet and not wait til I had all my paperwork done? I figured that because fuel prices are going up I should buy my ticket now, and pay $200 to move it if I need. By the end of this month tickets will be well over $1000. even with the $200 I'll be just under a $1000. Man, I hope I don't have to move it.

On an skunk note... I know you all have been waiting lol. I saw 3 skunks dead within a 50foot radius of my house. Since that week, I have not smelled or seen a single skunk even after dark. Oh YEAH!
