So its all official now. I bought our tickets on Tuesday night. We are leaving for the states on December 24th. We have to fly into Ottawa, Canda first for an hour layover as it was a very cheap deal and I wasn't paying £500 extra for a direct flight. I will just take some sleeping pills and conk out. I am not a massive fan of flying. I start to get claustrophobic after about 3 hours so 8 straight hours will do me in. I am starting to get more excited though. At first I was feeling a bit sad but now that we have bought the tickets, its a bit more real to me. I cant wait to see my family. :)I have some more bad news. A friend of mine that I grew up with passed away last week. Its insane. This is the second close friend I have lost in 4 months. I feel so terribly bad for his parents. He was only 20 years old and an only child. His funeral is on Saturday. I wish I could be there. I feel so helpless out here. I sent his parents an orchid plant. I hope they liked it. I just wanted them to know that although Ariel and I have both grown up (we were friends as kids and teenagers) I still loved him and will miss him. Anyways, sorry to keep this short but this week has been completely exhausting. Oh btw, my friends visit went well. Fun but tiring. :) Talk to you guys later!
