Family get togethers and fairwells

 Look what arrived today! I am happy as ever! Tomorrow I will do my Esta at work (the form I have to complete before I go to prove I am not a terrorist). As for the credit card, declined. My money isn't an exact amount every week which apparently worries the bank. Whatever, I'm not even mad. I mean seriously America in 8 days, I have enough cash to get me through three months.

Anyway! I went out for dinner tonight with my grandfather, grandmother, mother, uncle and his fiance'. We went to a restaurant called Bomnopenos - Italian restaurant. (Excuse my spelling :S) The dinner was a celebration of my Bon Voyage (I probably used that in the wrong context).

Everyone seems really excited for me and they all told me they're looking forward to all my stories and seeing all my pictures when I get home! My grandfather sneaked me $20 and cuddled me and said "I hope Josh lives up to your expectations" I was reluctant to take the money since he doesn't have a lot himself but he said it was the least he could do. Cutest grandfather ever. As for my grandmother, she bought me a cook book! It's adorable! So happy every recipe is only 4 ingredients. I always seem to cook when I'm hungry and never plan. At least I'll have plenty of options in this.. and I'll be able to cook for Josh and his family too!

Overall the day made me realize how accepting my family is. I love them to bits and can't wait to come back and show them all the pictures I plan to take. :3

To Do.

The list of my To Do's, I feel like I will never finish this, but I will as soon as my passport arrives X_X (which apparently has gone through). As well as waiting on the bank to send me my credit card. >_> I never knew I'd have to do so much before I left. Really though, I thought it was just buying my passport, waiting for it, buy the ticket and go; But there's so much more then that.

In other news, I got a new camera! Same brand, same colour, it was all just replaced which makes me a happy Audrey. :3

Not to keen being in the office today but then again if I was at home I'd be scratching my head wondering what to do next... yes! Even with this list. -_- So many things I can't do without my passport, without my bank cards, with the holidays on (TAFE). Yup, waiting on so much, I hope this all will come together. I want to hurry up and go already. 11 days? Feels more like 11 months. D:

When is the excitement going to hit me hard?
