I can't believe I'm saying this, but my parents pulled me aside yesterday and told me that they'd be willing to take me to Portugal to finally meet my long-distance partner, !!

I wish that there were words I could say to express how grateful and excited I am, but honestly it's so difficult to describe! This is something I've wanted since we started dating back in late 2016, so the fact that we finally have a set date to meet each other is so surreal to me—I almost can't believe it. Knowing me, I don't think reality's going to hit until I'm stepping onto the plane! Now I've gotta find someone to fish-sit for me while I'm away for a week in June.

That being said, I really need to scrap some more cash together for this trip. I'm wondering if I should try getting a summer job or trying to sell a few adoptables or something like that? Would that be something you all would be interested in? If I did, I'd probably set an AB for them at like .. $10-15 or something like that. I just want a little spending money for my trip, nothing too overboard, so don't worry if you're not a fan of this stuff, if I do go through with it, there'll only be a few!

Thank you for reading! I hope all is going well on your parts!
