AUSTRALIA! HERE WE COME!!!

So we are so excited! Tom and I along with Tom's mom and sister are going to Australia and New Zealand in August! We just bought the tickets! They were great priced and we couldn't pass them up! I called my boss and she said I could have it off and we got the tickets! They were on sale for us to go from LAX to Brisbane, Australia, then to Melbourne, Australia, then to Auckland, New Zealand, then back to LAX for $792 a person including taxes!!! That price is unheard of, and this was the last day they would be that cheap! Now comes the sacrifice to make this work! I am going to try to pick up as many Saturday call shifts as I can before we go so we can both pay for the tickets and build up some spending money for the trip as well as keep everything paid here! Also we had many family reunions that we had planned to go to, but are not going to be able to go now, but we have decided that at least we will get to see all our family at Kyle's wedding and we feel like this is a sacrifice that we are willing to make! We are both so excited though and feel this is a HUGE blessing and we couldn't pass it up! I will get to meet Tom's brother and sister and their families and his aunt and uncle and cousins for the first time! We might never get another opportunity like this!!! Any donations will be accepted!!! Ha! Ha!
