A Good Day

So today is a good day. After weeks of receiving emails using words like "should" and "patient" and "soon"(each of these words have become the bane of my existence) we have received an email with tentative travel dates. I am so elated it's unreal. I screamed and squealed like a small child, a three year old child to be exact(channeling Ms. Haven). Now I think I will stop lying to myself about packing up my house and actually get to the business of putting everything in it's proper place...after all by the 8th of October I could very well be on a plane jetting off into the next chapter of my life. I can't wait! The funny thing about it is that I actually sent off applications today. I need to get my backup plan in motion and take control of what I could. I'm hopeful that this happens and no more setbacks pop up but "in the land of sand and dune" to borrow a quote from Yanna nothing is for certain...except salat. My next entry will be from Abu Dhabi! Now I need to get a very good camera...
