Six years. God, six years is a really long time, isn't it? Time enough for a kid to be born and be halfway through his childhood. Time enough for stores to close, places to move, shops to open. Time enough to meet new friends and form new relationships.
In any case, it's been six years since I've seen Sam. And, finally, from 6 September to 20th September, I'll be going to the UK to see him.
This trip's already getting to be both much less spendy and much more spendy than I thought. First off, Sam's got his own apartment now, so I'm staying there. That's already saved me a few thousand. Second off, I found tickets for roughly $900, round trip tickets, too! But as far as being more expensive...well, been buying new clothes and accessories and travel tchotke like mad. (Hey, can't expect me to go to meet Sam's family looking all shabby now, can you?). Plus, I've been working on losing weight, and I feel a lot better as a result.
I've started this blog as a collection of my thoughts surrounding this trip, so that way I won't have to spend most of my time emailing people, as there's...what...10? people that I know of who'll read this blog, hahaha. Including at least 2 minors (*coughFabiandLalacough*). Share with your friends! Your family! Your cousin's best friend's dog groomer's girlfriend! Since I know I have 2 minors (not to mention my mother....) looking at this, I'll keep the swearing and sex talk to a minimum. Can't promise I'll be entirely clean though!
I'm excited as hell for the trip, of course. First time I'll be flying alone/internationally, first time i'll be to the UK, first time I'll be meeting a lot of Sam's family and friends. Lots of firsts! I don't quite know what to think, but right now, I just know I'm getting a mix of emotions, all nervous and excited and a little scared. Oh, and impatience. I just wanna be there already! I just want to be there, with Sam, in his apartment, doing all sorts of couple-y things, like....shooting things in video games. Cooking food. Watching TV. Snuggling on the couch.
In conclusion, this trip's going to be worth the six years wait. I can feel it.
