Another Email From My Agency

Photobucket

OK, Here we go!!!! Another email from my agency regarding Travel Preparations!!
And I am sooooo not prepared. This is getting serious.
I better get going.
I think I will go to the bank tomorrow and ask about those "crisp bills".
Still haven't filed my taxes yet so I am going to get all the paperwork ready and drop it off.
I need to print out the email and start crossing off the list as I go along.
I must be in denial or something because I really don't think this is going to happen this soon!
SOON! What am I saying!! Its been a total of almost 4 years!! Yes, 4 years!!
I was on the Singles Waiting List (remember that list??) for a year!
I started this whole process in June of 2004. I was told that the list was long and plan to start the process in 2007 with travel in 2008.
When I got the call in July 2005 that I could start the process I was so excited!!
"What happened??" I asked my agency. "The list moved quicker than expected."
Plan on travel in 2006!! Yippee!!
Started the paperchase in October (got cold feet.... if I had only known) and was DTC Dec. 14, 2005 and LID Jan. 5, 2006. The wait was approx. 8-10 months so I planned on traveling in Oct.-Nov. of 2006!!

WRONG!....... And so the Nightmare began.
I guess I should have stayed with the original 2008 travel plans.

So here I am in 2008, a bit older and hopefully wiser Photobucket and STILL not ready!
What is wrong with me??

I have to ask. Why do the bills need to be crisp? Will they not accept wrinkled bills?
