FLIGHT 295 to Thailand

Here it goes everyone! I write my first post from up, up in the air! My mind is racing because I am not sure where to start. I need to say a big thank you to my mom and dad. Without them I would not be sitting on this airplane halfway around the world. Props to papa bear for having such a sweet job because I am reclined back sipping some vino and having some snacks before dinner with my slippers on.....this would not have happened if he was not up until all hours of the night last night and up early this morning. He was checking and rechecking loads in and out of 2 or 3 different cities to make sure we made the right choice of what route to take to get me to Thailand.

Mother dearest.....we all know I talk to her 5 times a day sometimes for 30 seconds and sometimes for an hour. She is my best friend and somebody that was more excited then I was when we first found out about this opportunity. I got to spend my last crazy Saturday night in the US of A laying in bed, eating Chinese food, and watching movies with the lovely Polar Express.

When I told Famous (Amy) about the move she said......WHY WOULDN”T YOU! Luke had a one track mind. Rachel can’t take her car or her flat screen all the way to Thailand....I score big here. So he gave me a big hug and scooted me out the door.

So with that said....here is the story of how I came to be in Delta Flight 295 to Thailand........

The Short and sweet version:

Monday October 5th- Sent in all my application forms

Tuesday October 6th- Had a Skype Interview...got offered the job...met my dear friend Rachel for some brewskies at Lotties. All I could think is.....IS

THIS REALY HAPENING!!!

Am I making the right choice?

Can I really up and leave the wonderful city of Chicago?? Can I lease my APT? What do I do with my car? My JOBS????

I did not have 1 to 2 months ponder and plan, I had about 2 hours.

Wednesday October 6^th- Quit my TA job. Leaving some of the best people I know and have learned a lot from and will miss dearly.
