two weeks from friday and i'll be headed out of the united states....

luckily i was able to book my flights to bangkok with Aiyana and Michelle - the two other women going on the trip. I originally thought that I would have to make the trip alone, and then meet up with them once I arrived in Thailand. Thank goodness that I don't have to! I was looking at a multiple stop ticket and a ten hour layover in Korea by myself....not ideal really. Well it worked out financially and time wise to travel with them, yay! So the tickets are booked....now all I need is to get my name change done on my passport and my typhoid shot. Thankfully, Denver is one of very few locations in the US that you can walk into a building and get your passport back in the same day...the only problem is that it is in south east denver. the exact opposite side from where we live....and since I can't really take another day off of work, I have to go down and fill out the paper work one day, and then drive back and pick it up another day. ugh. just what i want to do...drive an hour each way twice in one week.....not to mention i'll have to maneuver the giant sinkhole that's formed in I25. wish me luck i suppose.

tomorrow night for valentines day we are spending the evening with three of our close friends/couples. instead of each going out, we are getting together and cooking dinner together and drinking wine, while the guys do "man things" and drink beer in the living room. :) then we will just all hang out for the evening....steef and i also decided that instead of buying eachother something we didn't need, we are going to pick two different organizations and donate money to them instead.....i think we have settled on Love146 and then purchasing an item for a family through Heifer. Maybe some chickens or something. :)

i hope everyone has a wonderful valentines day together.
