We'll be spending this upcoming week in Araxa, and next Monday we'll be flying to Sao Paulo to spend the last couple of days there visiting with friends. Our flights leave from Sao Paulo to New York on Wednesday 7/27, and we arrive in New York on the morning of the 28th. Unfortunately we have to go on separate flights, since the flight I originally booked before coming to Brazil is now ridiculously expensive...like 'close-to-three-thousand-dollars' expensive! We're planning to rent a car at JFK airport and spend the day in/around NYC, and then drive back to PA that evening. Hopefully we're not too tired from the overnight flight!
Engagement party is planned for that weekend while we're back in PA :)
Save-the-Dates and lots of stamps have been ordered and will be going out in the mail the first week of August when we get back home to Minneapolis, at which point there will only be 6 months until the wedding!
Things I'm looking forward to about being back in MN:
- Bringing my kitty Gabby back home (BIG shout out to Alicia, Amanda and Steph for taking care of her for me the past couple of months and for letting her stay at your apartment! I wouldn't have been able to take this trip without you - I owe you!!) --- also Happy Birthday to Gabby!! She turns 2 today :)
- Getting settled back into my old apartment and getting all my things out of storage and organized
- HAVING FRANCHESCO BACK WITH ME :) :) :) :) :)
- Using my cell phone again!
- Finding a new job
- Buying a car
- Enjoying the beautiful Minnesota summer weather! (Yes, I've been in Brazil the last couple of months...and the weather is nice here, but it's winter. Average temps are in the 70's during the day and much cooler at night...jeans and sweatshirt weather...not summer shorts and tank top weather)
- More wedding planning! And I miss my wedding books/magazines so I can't wait to look at all those again...
happy for you jaxbabe!
