It is official! I am going to visit Carlyn in Italy May 6-16th! Somebody pinch me. It feels like a dream. Nothing this exciting happens to me! If it weren't for Candi encouraging me and printing out an application for a passport, I probably would never had considered it.
I don't know what I am more excited about. Its all so exciting. I am just excited to be able to leave my life in the states behind me for a few days and take it all in. I hope that I have a growing experience and that it helps me to figure my life out a little better.
I sent my application for my passport in and should hopefully get it in 2 weeks. I booked my flights today. Now, its just the waiting game. I can't wait to go and I am excited to share my experience with everyone.

I don't want a pitty party
For the most part, I feel like I have been blessed with a great life. I have not had any tragic events in my life (with the exception of deaths of family/friends). I have an awesome and loving family and a great network of friends. I wouldn't change them for anything in the world. I have a great stable job, that when its all said and done, I absolutely love. I guess I am just feeling like my life is at a standstill.
One night, by best friend asked me if I was okay. Feeling that I was, I responded with a yes. Then as I was laying in bed, doing my nightly praying, I thought about what she asked me. A lightbulb went off and I thought to myself...I am depressed. I have never been depressed and therefore didn't know what it felt like to be depressed. It took that simple little question she asked for me to realize that I had a problem.
Where is the excitement in my life? I feel that all I do is eat, sleep, work, do laundry, house work, and errands. Thats what my life consists of! What can I do to bring some excitement in my life? I am running out of ideas. Now, I am not asking for anything extreme. I enjoy going out with my friends every once and a while, but the whole bar scene just isnt as appealing as it was a year ago. I guess there comes a time in ones life when they outgrow that, and luckily mine ended in my early twenties.
Anyways, if anyone has any ideas please share them with me. I love my life, I really do. I just need something with a little excitement!
