TRIPS TO AUSTRALIA.......

I know, I know, I've been a huge slacker when it comes to blogging. It just seems like there's so much to do and never enough time. But, I had to post this because I thought it was pretty hilarious! The other day I got a call from one of my best friends.....I was at work and away from my desk (she called my cell) so she left a voicemail. When I noticed I had the voicemail, I started listening to it and got completely confused. My friend was telling me about how she and her husband were taking a trip to Australia the first part of April and her husband was in charge of the travel plans. I was really excited for her.....she loves to travel and I know I would LOVE to go to Australia, but still confused about the message. So, I called her back (getting HER voicemail) and told her how excited I was for them to be getting away for a while without the kids and how much fun they were going to have. I also told her bubs and I were thinking about going to Brazil next year with my little brother and some friends, so we would be both be going on a pretty cool trip. She called me back the next day (I don't think she had listened to her voicemail yet, just saw that I had called) and during the conversation it came up that she was pregnant again. It kind of surprised me because their youngest just turned one in July. She started laughing and told me she had left me a message telling me about her being pregnant. Turns out she had been reading my blog and read my post about fertility and taking trips to Australia (a couple of posts down). When she called to tell me about them "going" to Australia and how she had put her husband in charge of "travel" plans, she thought I would understand because of the post. I was laughing so hard because here I'm thinking she's really taking a trip and I'm telling her about our trip. I'm such an idiot! What's even funnier is that bubs works with her husband and was asking him about them going to Australia. Since he hasn't read my blog and hadn't talked to his wife yet, he had no clue what bubs was talking about and looked at him like he was crazy. Ahhh....miscommunication, it's the best! So, congrats to my friend.....I know a lot of people right now who will be taking future trips to Australia, so you'll be in good company. Apparently we're taking a slight detour though and headed to Brazil first!
