Right before we left for the meeting last night, my mom called to tell me my dad bought tickets for them to come visit us in March! I cannot tell you how excited that made me. Its going to be absolutely amazing to show my parents around London. They have never been to Europe before or really even out of America (I dont think Canada and Mexico count as much). So its going to be so much to show them around my new home. And to have them stay in our flat will be a cool but strange experience. I mean my parents have never been in the situation where they would come to MY house. Its funny because I was just starting to feel better about being here. Starting to like it here again. Getting excited about throwing a surprise wedding shower for a friend here. And now with my parents coming, that just makes it a billion times easier. I work much better when I have something to look forward to, even if it is 5 months away. It just gives me more time to fix up our new flat (when we move out next month) and lose the 20lbs I have wanted to lose all year. I mean I want to lose much more but that is a good realistic goal as I will be very busy for the next few months. Anyways, SO excited they are coming!!
Btw, I wrote another much longer 'update' post beneath this one that will explain a lot of what has been going on. Talk laters!
