Hello

What's up ladies?? So sorry I haven't been around lately. It feels like I've been super busy the last couple of months, but then when I think about it, I can't really think of any great tasks that I have accomplished. Weird, to say the least!

This time next week, we will be on a plane headed for Hawaii!!!! I cannot wait to get there, but I am so anxious about the plane ride! I even had to call my Dr yesterday and ask him to call in some anti-anxiety meds. :/ ......never done that before!! As a kid I loved flying. My parents were missionaries to South Africa and every four years we flew back home and then stayed in the US a year and flew back to SA. I loved it, even the turbulence didn't scare me. When I was in my teens I started wondering "how do those ginormous metal things stay in the air and not fall?" Once my mom & I went to see my sis in college and on the flight back we boarded this itty-bitty plane that had one seat on one side and two on the other. I was freaking out!! I had only ever been on planes that had a middle section, TWO AISLES, NOT ONE. Needless to say, mom had me leaning over with my head between my legs, breathing through a paper bag. It was bad, so bad! I wish I could say I have gotten better, however, now that I am an adult I think it has gotten worse{9/11 didn't help either}. Hubs and I went to Mexico a couple years after we got married and they tried to seat us separately{I don't think so}. If this ever happens to you, simply walk to the seat you are supposed to sit at, look at the person that will be sitting by you, look back at your hubs and say, "I'm too nervous to sit by myself. I think I'm gonna throw up!" That person will raise their hand so fast and offer to switch with your hubs in a heartbeat!! It truly is a magic phrase. But seriously, even sitting by J I was so nervous I still almost got sick.

I've known this trip was coming for awhile and every time I started to think about the plane ride I would get this hard-to-breathe-feeling in my chest. I'd simply tell myself, "it's months away, you can worry about it when it gets here." Well, guess what? It's here and I am worried!!! I know that I know that I know, it will all be okay, but still I want to be able to have a good time and feel relaxed. So today, I get to go pick-up my anti-anxiety Rx!!!!!! Thank goodness for great docs, who get it!!

I still have a million things to do before we leave! Better get to it, eh?!?
