I’ve been counting down the days until graduation since the spring 2011 semester began in January. It’s been rough and it’s been extremely busy, but we have seven more weeks go! I was more than excited for spring break last week and even more happy that I was going to be reunited with my best friend, godson and family back home. It was going to be a nice long mini vacation away from the stress of classes and work.
My best friend and I decided to take a road trip back to our hometown in Twinsburg, Ohio. She lives out of state in Iowa and was going to swing by and come pick me up in Chicago, spend the night at my place and then we would both drive back to Ohio the next day. It was so wonderful to be reunited with her and my godson. We hadn’t seen each other in about two months, but we’ve been best friends for about six years now, and it always seems like we just saw each other yesterday. I love it! That’s how you know you’re best friends with someone!
When we finally made it back to my house, we were greeted by my mom, dad, younger brother and cat (of course, haha!) They absolutely loved her son, and it was just fantastic to spend time with everybody and catch up with all my loved ones. The week went by so fast, I couldn’t believe we were already packing our things and getting ready to head back to Chicago and Iowa. They’re all coming to my graduation in May, though, and I couldn’t ask for a better graduation present! It’s going to be one of the best days ever and one of the most special and meaningful to me, and I can’t wait!
