wishing...

I've been M.I.A. for a while and I wish could tell you it was because of something exciting but it's quite the opposite. I haven't known excitement for a while now. It's all about finishing these next 2 weeks worth of presentations, papers and finals so that I can finally live again! Okay.... dramatic? A little. Seriously though, I am SO done with school. I can't wait for Mike and I to graduate.

To escape the school work, I've spent hours upon hours researching and planning for our trip to Europe (that kicks off in 26 days!!!). Mike has been ridiculously busy this semester and, by comparison, my semester has been so much easier so I've been given ALL responsibility in planning this trip. Mixed emotions here. Unfortunately, as much as I love the idea of being the sole decision-maker, I can see this backfiring on me in the future. (imagine this: We're on the train in Italy. We get off at the wrong stop. He could easily look to me and say, "I thought you had this whole thing planned?" I am then left defenseless. He's right. ) There are so many things to get squared away. So many details. When I get sick on looking at maps and documents, I turn to J. Crew for a little daydreaming.

All those items are currently on sale... So you can only imagine my inner turmoil.
