Journal Entry #10
I spoke to the Genies and my mom literally just got off the phone with some specialists at Memorial. WE CAN GO TO AMSTERDAM! The Genies suggested leaving on May 3rd. I'm so stoked! I cant wait to tell her. I just need to figure out how to do it. I'm not gonna just text or call her and be like "Hey. Pack a bag, we're going to Amsterdam". That'd be lame. I keep writing down what I'm gonna say and scratching stuff out so I thought I'd take a break and write down some thoughts, I feel like I'm scrambling my brain! I've got this idea to tell her the news in some sort of Dutch related way; maybe get some orange tulips and wear my dad's Rik Smits jersey or something. I know it sounds cheesy but I know she'll love it. Or at least, I hope she loves it. I don't think I've ever put so much thought into a conversation before. I just want it to be perfect. I know it'll be perfect when I tell her anyway, to see her beautiful smile and the utter delight in her eyes, but it needs to be unique and spectacular. Its all worth it to see her happy.
So, I better go and finish figuring out what I'm going to say to her and how I'm going to say it. Wish me luck!
