So about two days ago, Chris decided to accept a job offer in Maui, Hawaii! Yes, I did say Hawaii! Wow, what an opportunity of a lifetime for us! Many say we're crazy, many more are jealous and many many more are very, very supportive.
Chris will be the Art Director of the Maui Weekly Time. He needs to be up there by August 10 (that's in like two weeks!) So he will fly out of Houston August 9. This is good and bad. Good because he gets to start his new job on the right foot: the old Art Director will be able to walk him through how they do the weekly there and he will get a hang of how it works. Bad because 1- I wont be down there for another couple weeks, 2- he won't be able to go to Vegas for me and Marina's 25th birthday we already had planned with my family. I am super sad, but I completely understand. He is going to rock that weekly out and they aren't going to know what hit them!
As for what I will be doing there: thankfully the PR firm I work for is letting me work for her while I am there, until I find a job. I definitely have the best and most understanding boss. But that is the beauty of PR, you can do it anywhere. I am wanting to get into maybe the bigger resorts they have there and work in the event planning/marketing department. So cross your fingers!
Another thing I am super upset about is of course leaving my family and friends. I definitely have the best support system: my wonderful and amazing parents, my twin sister and older brother, not to mention their significant others and my close friends. I would not be able to do any of this with out yall. And anyone who knows me, knows that I am a HUGE family person, and my family means everything to me so that will be hard! I also have to give my parents props for their willingness to take care of Buster for about four months. (anyone who is planning to traveling to Hawaii or Austrailia with a pet- there is a long process). So to make a long story, short Buster just got his second year of rabies vaccinations (which he has to wait 90 days till he goes to Hawaii), and then he always has to get some blood work done (which he has wait about 120 days after his blood test). So he wont be able to come till December. That works out because I will come back in December for my sisters graduation from UH to be a teacher (GO MARINES!!!). So when I come back, I'll bring Buster back to Hawaii with me :)
Right now, we are busy moving out of our apartment. Thanks to one of Chris' friends, he will be taking over our lease for the next 8 months. He has to be out of his apartment by July 31 (remember its' July 23) so Chris and I are going crazy trying to move everything out and not to mention PACK! Between the time we leave our place and go, we'll be living with my parentals for a little, which isn't as bad as it sounds. Didn't I mention they're awesome and they love my fiance!
Which brings me to the next thing. Our wedding! We are still planning to have it here in Houston October 9,2010. It might be a little hard to plan a Houston wedding when I'm in Hawaii but people plan destination weddings all time, so this should be no sweat! My sister, mom and family friends have already said they will help with all details. Plus, when I come back in December, I can take care of a lot of details then.
Wooooo- tired yet??? Yea, our life will be a little crazy for the next month or so, but everything will work out. I don't think it will hit me till we are there but I definitely can't wait for our adventure to begin.
Please keep us and our families in your thoughts and prayers.
If anyone has any advice, tips, suggestions on places, things to do- send them my way! You can always reach me on here where I will be blogging about our adventure or you can reach me on facebook or through sabrina.dreyer@yahoo.com.
Thanks for everything and I will keep yall posted.
Aloha yall!
