T-Minus 18 hours...

Until I am on a plane headed for Vegas. It will be a bittersweet trip for me.

Sweet because I am going to be testing for my 4th Dan black belt and I will be testing in front of a panel of Korean teachers from the Kukkiwon (center of all taekwondo). Which will be an experience that I will never forget. And, of course, I will be in VEGAS!

But bitter because I will be away from my family, especially over Valentines day. I am going to be so incredibly busy to enjoy Vegas for what it really is, gambling and drinking. But most of all it is costing way more than we should spend. I feel a little... I don't know... guilty? All my friends know how broke we are but then I spend hundreds of dollars to go on a trip. Doesn't seem very responsible. But on the other hand, I have saved for months and months to go on this trip. I have gone without other luxuries (I have had the same pair of shoes for almost 2 years!) and have "rat holed" money just so I can travel and not put ourselves in the poor house. So I don't know... Maybe I should stop caring about what others think of me ;-)

Now that I have confused myself I have to go do laundry and ponder life more...
