All set & ready to go!

Good morning everyone! Happy Valentine's Day! Or as I currently call it: Single Awareness Day! Lol.. Anyway..

So.. Long story.. Ready? Cleared all my screenings! Yeah!! Had a little hiccup with my paper work for my medical, but it was fairly easy to fix. So then I was told the dreaded words: wait for me to call you.

UGH!!!!! So I waited like almost 2 weeks & nothing. During the weeks of silence from my recruiter, I heard some crazy rumors that really were worrying me.

For example: Part of our on-board safety training would include jumping from the 4th deck of the ship into the ocean! (wow, I love to swim & all but no. I'm not ready to do that) Also, some of our meals wouldn't be covered by Disney while we were staying at Disney World. And finally, I probably wouldn't get a departure date until April (more like mid-late April).

So I emailed Eric (my recruiter) telling him my worries. He said the 4th deck jump into the ocean & Disney not covering some meals were false. But that I may not be leaving for Florida till April was a good possibility.

I was sad. Really bummed. I found this all out on Monday. It took me till Thursday to realize that this is God's plan. Not mine. Clearly I'm not proving my faith in him by moping around & getting all sad. So I asked forgiveness & ended up really relishing in my growing walk with Him.

Friday (02/13/2009) I woke up around 9. Very lazily checked my email and there it is. From Eric asking me to call him ASAP. I'm set to fly from CA to FL on March 4th!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it! God is so funny isn't He?

So now I'm getting ready to go. Just have to get some odds & ends together before I leave. Other than that, I just have to make sure I get a chance to say goodbye to everyone..

Bye!!

P.S. That boy I mentioned in the previous blog is a slimey bugger that will never darken my doorstep again! :)
