Patience Is a Virtue

Being accepted to this trip is possibly the best thing I have experienced. Ever. I remember getting the call and  being with a friend. The call was from my mom and when I picked up she answered very quickly. I didn't really know if it was a good sign or something to cover up, but I proceeded anyway. When she present the news she made it very suspenseful- "Ms Lisa Marie says that she's sorry... but you will have to be away from your parents for two weeks!"- and at that my friend and I were instantly hugging and screaming and jumping around. It was a call that I would never forget. It then lead to all the fundraising and donations and events and just pure fun knowing what all the money was going towards. The excitement continues and I am in the days of countdown and waiting anxiously for the days to pass. Today, there are eight weeks and three days and I am constantly wishing there were less. I guess you need to wait for what you want so direly.
