My best friend from high school is getting married. I’m going to be the maid of honor. This is incredibly exciting and I am so happy for her! So I will be venturing out to Oklahoma in July for this.

Work went from being fairly boring to a whole lot of paperwork and craziness. Ahhhh.

Home?
Alright, I’m ready to go back home. As in Rochester. Never thought I’d call that my home. But I guess part of becoming an adult is that long stays at your parents house just become unbearable. You realize how much you’ve grown/changed/become your own person, which means you realize how little you have in common with your parents. Or how you care about completely different...
