Life Is Awesome

As far as birthday presents go, this year I bought myself the best one ever: a plane ticket to New Zealand.

I wish that this ticket was for this week and I was heading off for a quick visit, but unfortunately it’s not. It is however the plane ticket for my big move to New Zealand. And I bought it on my birthday! It wasn’t planned that way, that just happened to be the day that the particular savings account hit the amount to purchase the ticket. The date was just a cool side benefit. But a plane ticket for a move across the world is a pretty nice gift for yourself I think.

So I’m officially going! Now that I’ve bought the plane ticket it’s a real event that is going to happen in just a few months.

On August 13 I’m moving to New Zealand.

That’s the date that I settled on, which happens to also be Friday the 13th. I found that funny so I went a step further and reserved seats on row 13. You know, just because. I’ve never been the superstitious type and once even used the number 13 for softball. If anything it’s more of a lucky number than an unlucky one. Hopefully my flight/row will be empty. ;)

I could have waited to get the ticket but I like to do things in advance so I know there won’t be any problems later on. I didn’t want to wait and let prices jump or possibly use the money on something else so that I then couldn’t purchase a ticket. No, I like to be prepared way in advance for something like this. Because something like this is pretty huge.

So that’s why this particular plane ticket is THE plane ticket. It’s the one that is taking me to a new country for a year. It’s the one taking me to some new adventures. It’s the one taking me back to my love. It’s a pretty special plane ticket. Plus it’s only one stop this time.  Awesome.
