Day 09 – Something you’re proud of in the past few days

Well besides for work, school and now reffing is starting back up, I really haven’t done much as of late, there really isn’t time. Jeanna and I did celebrate our one year anniversary on 9/15/11, and of course I’m very, very, very proud and happy about that but that was more than a few days ago.

I had this post all planned out, and pretty much written, talking about the fact that I am proud of getting four A’s in the four MBA classes I have completed.  I am proud of this, BUT I did something today that I am more proud of and super, super excited about!!!

Once again, for those who don’t know me (now that my # of readers is growing), I stress out a LOT!!!!!! About a lot of things…….well I have being attempting to get tickets booked for our trip to South Africa since we were approved the time off, a couple of months ago.  The day before the time was approved the tickets were sitting at $1,247……….day after they shot up to $1,691.
Since then they’ve hovered between $1,450 and $1,700, a piece.  I’d check the prices every day, keeping track……..well let me tell you this allows my stress level to SOAR!!!!!  I needed to get these dang tickets booked…….so the trip would seem more realistic and to save me about 5 to 10 minutes each day as I searched for good deals!!

Well after a little volatility in prices as of late, thankfully today they dropped back to $1,450…….and I BOOKED OUR TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!  It’s official, we’re off to South Africa from February 4th through February 26th, 2012.  I am beyond excited for Jeanna to meet my family, to show her where I grew up, went to school, the sights, the animals, the ZEBRA’S, etc!!!  It’s going to be such an amazing trip, and I am proud that I was decisive and clicked on BOOK TICKETS!!!
