| | I'm gearing up for my big adventure to Houston! I'm sick of "getting ready", and I'm just ready to leave. I'm a little nervous, partly because it's the most I've ever driven in one day (unless you count our band trip to Florida - straight through on the charter bus), and partly because I don't know what it'll be like to be away from Kyle. I'd like the think we're not one of those couples that's totally dependent on each other and that we can function just fine without each other for 7 days. But it'll just be odd. I definitely feel guilty about leaving him behind to work while I'm off having fun, but he's of course totally supportive and encouraging. He's so nice it almost makes me feel worse, especially since I can't imagine I'd be nearly as supportive if the situation were reversed.
But mostly I'm dang excited. I've never been on a trip quite like this. Just me and the girls (and Ben, occasionally) doing whatever we want. Sometimes I still don't quite feel like an adult, so the fact that I don't have to ask for "permission" anymore for a trip of this magnitude is pretty cool. I just said, hey mom, I'm going to Houston! A couple years ago, she would have promptly replied, no you're not! But now I'm all grown up so she can't say boo. I almost feel like a rebellious teenager.
Plus, I got a new camera for my birthday. My "old" (it was only 3.5 years old) camera wasn't quite working anymore, so I pooled all of my birthday money and asked Kyle to fill in the rest for his present and treated myself to a new Olympus. It's less than half the size of my old clunker, and it has all these cool preset setting for taking pictures of different things in different environments. I'm so excited to have an occasion to break it in!
Okay, that's all I know. All you KS people take care of my Kyle while I'm gone.
