Despite being caught in a monsoon just now on my way home from work, I am in a fantastic mood! This year has been great to me thus far, even if it's only been 3 days.
Mic finally comes home to me today after being home for the holidays and I cannot wait for him to get home! Even better news............ duh duh duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......
WE'RE GOING TO BRAZIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We booked our tickets yesterday and we're beyond excited! Neither of us have ever been to South America and we're in the beginning stages of planning the cities we'd like to venture to and even considering squeezing in other countries if possible. I'd love to visit Machu Picchu in Peru and possibly Buenos Aires in Argentina. However, since Brazil is so large, maybe we'll venture north and go white water rafting on the Amazon! As long as I come back in one piece, I'm okay with whatever. After this trip, I'll have been to 5 out of the 7 continents, woo hoo! I doubt I'll make it to Antarctica anytime soon but Australia/Oceania is definitely up there on my list- perhaps for 2013 :-)
This year, I'd really like to focus on being happy. I'm enjoying my job thus far and things with Mozzarella are going well. I want to keep waking up with a positive outlook on life and make any necessary changes to improve my happiness and well being. Additionally, I would like to save and travel more (these will likely cancel each other out but a girl can dream). Besides this trip to Brazil, we'll likely take a few long weekends and I'm in the beginning stages of planning a trip to Costa Rica with my friend. My sister is getting married this summer so we'll also head to the States. It'll be fun to finally show my hood to my summertime and
With all of this on deck, how can I not be excited for 2012?!?! :-)
Anyway, that's all for now- toodalooooooooooooooo
