...drop of a hat

Last night I was talking to Steph about if and when I might be able to make it out to the east coast to visit her before I leave for my mission. The only real possiblity was goiong to be at the end of next month, which happens to be when I'll be training my replacement at the bank. I had all but given up hope on my chance to visit before I have to leave, when she mentioned that she has a four day weekend this week.

Now here I am only one day later, and everything seems to be falling into place just as easily as if I had been planning my adventure for months. My boss is just as excited as I am at the opportunity, and agreed to stay late to do my work for a couple of days. My dad was kind enough to save me a TON of cash, and let me use some of his frequent flyer miles. And my mom is excitedly playing the role of travel agent, booking my flights and making sure everything will go smoothly.

So here I come New York City, hopefully Steph will be nice enough (she is) to come pick me up, and show me around.
