Yesterday I told my boss I would be leaving at the end of December for a missionary trip. I can't say what I expected to happen, but I was nervous. Turns out I didn't need to be. He and our HR person both congratulated me and though they couldn't help thinking about everything that will need to be done as a result of my leaving (we are in the process of restructering the Marketing department - of which I am a part) they expressed their happiness for me!
So, that's exciting, cause now everyone will know I'm leaving in 2 months and when something goes wrong at work I can say, "I don't care, I'm leaving in 2 months!" Which won't be entirely true, cause I will care, but I can say I don't!
At any rate, the plan is to hire someone into my position who I will then get to train before I go. If they don't hire anyone, well, I still get to go. :)

Oh yeah, and I bought my plane ticket to San Antonio yesterday. Yea!
