Something that means everything to me
10 years ago
General
I just bought plane tickets for my husband and I to visit my family.
Why is this a big deal to me? Here's a timeline
I left Georgia in Apr 2012 to go to Japan for the Navy. This has been the last time I've seen my family.
End timeline
So now at the 4 year mark, I've gotten married, lived all over the place, my dad is getting remarried during my trip, my older brother got married, my lil brother is graduating. They have only ever talked to my husband over the phone a few times and I've talked a little with their ladies over Facebook but I've been so far removed from their lives for so long. I left and my younger brother was just starting high school(I've got 7 yrs on him) and he was so short and now he's apparently way taller then me! I wouldn't know, I haven't seen him.
I'm posting this because I just need to talk about it. I shouldn't have gotten the tickets, I had to use a 1/3 of my tax savings money owed on the 18th of April. But ya'll have no idea how good I feel right now.
Since I'll be taking a lot of time to work in the next couple of weeks, ya'lls support continues to brighten me and gave me this wonderful moment of knowing I can see my family again and it means the world. I owe it to ya'll. Everyone's continued and wonderful support has been wonderful and I hope we have many more years to come where I hopefully brighten ya'll lives with my work and ya'll brighten mine by giving me the chance to do things like this when it means so absolutely much to me.

EDIT- I will be away from May 18th to May 23rd!

Visiting your family is always worth it, no matter the cost. Good luck.
I hope the money I put in the pot helps! ^_^
-hugs- You're awesome
P.S. Sorry if this got overly long, I kinda just started rambling and wanted to make sure I didn't leave anything uncovered. :P
