The Word Is Out!

Well, he did it. Dave finally gave his notice at his firm and said that it could not have possibly gone better. Listening to how happy and relieved he sounded once he was done made me feel so great! Everyone he spoke to was beyond supportive and even a little jealous of our plan. He’s not 100% sure about when his last day will be, but sometime in the next couple of weeks.

This is what we’ve been waiting for for so long. I feel so happy for Dave now that he doesn’t have to feel like he’s keeping secrets anymore. Everything is out in the open and now we have nothing to worry about other than planning the final details of our trip and getting excited for everything that’s to come!

I know that I feel so relieved about everything, I can’t even imagine how he must feel. Hopefully like a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders. All I do know is that he couldn’t get his much anticipated Facebook announcement up fast enough 🙂

The big announcement!   The interaction!

Just Say Yes.

Our RTW trip is fast approaching and as it gets closer and closer I find myself thinking a lot about my goals for the trip; what I want to accomplish and how I want to live my life over the next couple of years. I recently read an article about the power of saying yes. Unfortunately, I can’t remember where I found the article, but the gist of it was this: Saying no always leads to a dead end. Saying yes, on the other hand, always leads to something else.
