When did we actually start growing up?

I was at work today and got a phone call from my older sister, that in it's self was odd because nowadays we pretty much keep in contact via email and text messages due to both of our randomly busy schedules. After I didn't answer I got a text message from her, "answer your phone asap!" I was instantly concerned. My first reaction, someone had died. Worried, I head back into the break room at work and call her back. She answers the phone and all I hear is:

"WILL YOU BE IN MY WEDDING PARTY!?!"

Obvi, the answer was yes, I'm pretty sure that was a given since, well, forever. I'm not even anywhere near being engaged and the one thing I am 100% sure about is that my older and younger sister will be standing next to me when I am getting married.

I was bouncing around work the rest of the day. I couldn't wait to get out and call my sister back and get all the important details.

I Want Fabulous

Ever since I was younger I have known that Florida was not the place for me. I love it dearly, and it will always hold a sentimental place in my heart since I have lived here about 16 out of my 21 years of life, but I have always envisioned myself someplace more. After graduating high school financial reasons kept me in Florida for college even though I was so itching to get out. Everyday my graduation from college (hopefully UCF, but potentially UNF) creeps closer and closer, even if it is still 2 years away. With my graduation comes the big leap into the ‘real world’ which I have been awaiting for many years, all the struggles that I have been through will finally be laid to rest and I can move on with things. My first step I know will be to move out of state…I know I belong someplace fabulous, I can just feel it. New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, London, Paris, anywhere – I know Philadelphia doesn’t really fit in with the rest of the group, but my heart is there, my family is there. After everything that I have been through I deserve nothing less than fabulous, but I know it demands that I work hard for it and I am more than willing to do so.
