Monday's Aren't So Bad!

Well, it's been a little over a month since my last post. I couldn't think of anything to post but since I have managed to do it every month, I figured I should stay with the trend. So, here I was trying to think of what to write. As always our lives are crazy busy with celebrations and such and pretty much will be that way until mid November. Can't complain though, its all fun! Today is Monday and while I normally don't like this day (due to the fact that it starts a new work week), today was an exception. I started off thinking it was going to be an either crazy busy day or just plain blah day. To my dismay, it has been an OUTSTANDING day thus far. Hope the rest of the day continues to be this good! When I arrived at work I found out that we will be relocating within the building. Wasn't too thrill considering I have been in the same area for the last 3 years that I have been here. Then a song popped in my head the lyrics "a change will do you good" suddenly had meaning. I thought that while change isn't always fun, it can do you good. So I turned that somewhat negative into a positive! THEN.....get ready for this.....I get called into the Jefe's or should I say Jefa's....Ok, probably should just say Boss' office. I'm thinking ok, I guess its our weekly How are you? How was your weekend? How is the weather? Yada yada yada conversation. So my boss starts talking about Kaisen meetings and how I have been selected to go with them on this adventure. Boss' voice fades and thoughts run through my head: Awwww....you mean I have to leave my hubby and my little one for 4 whole days? What am I going to miss while I am gone? How boring is this going to be? This totally.....(boss' voice fades back in)ROCKS!!!! Yes, you heard me....ROCKS!!! Why you ask? Well, turns out I am going to NUEVA YORK in spanish, meaning NEW YORK in english. What? Excuse me, what did the boss lady just say?!? I'M GOING TO NEW YORK, PEOPLE!!!!! You would think I have hit the lotto with the excitement that has filled my little soul.

You see I have always wanted to visit NY. Just last week I filled the hubster in on how visiting certain places was on my bucket list. If you don't know what a bucket list is, its your "Things I want to do before I die" list. I highly suggest you putting one togehter if you haven't already. Ok, so back to my story. The hubby wasn't exactly thrilled about us going to NY. He said he couldn't think of a single thing he would want to do in NY. Sound a little familiar, Tamara? Tamara is my friend who recently had the privilidge to go to NYC and her husband feels the exact same way J does. So, last week my thoughts were: "Booo, I'll never get to go to NY!"

My boss told me I would be going the last week in October and to check with my husband to be sure all would be ok. I didn't hesitate in saying, "No, I'm set to go and I WILL go!" Of course she laughed and said that I should still check. However, I knew that my husband would back me 200% on this. I mean, how often will this happen to me? To be selected to go says a lot to me and I know it would help me in the long run, with work. Of course, I immediately called Jason to let him know about what I had been presented with and while he was a little hesitant (because of course, he will miss me tons), he was supportive as I expected. He told me the things I expected to hear and of course the sweet things I wanted to hear,like: "I won't know what to do with myself, while you're gone!" How sweet is my husband?!? I know he and Bay will be okay though, God will be with them. I'm stoked to see the city that never sleeps but I know I will be missing them. I wish that I could just pack them up in my suitcase and take them with, but I can't. So, I will have to settle for phone calls, texting and chat. Thank you, technology!

Now, how's that for starting off a work week? I guess Mondays aren't so bad. I'll be sure to update about this adventure. Until then.....keep dreaming...Lord knows I am!

Blessings,
Cecilia
