Road trips are my favorite because I get so many hours alone to blast my music and sing as loud as I want until I have no voice left…and then once my voice runs out I have time to think. As I was driving home from Pittsburgh today, I felt like I was about to burst from happiness. I was thinking about what a great weekend I’d just had and how my friends make my life so amazing. I got to catch up with Seton Hill friends that I am very proud of (Becca, who recently started writing awesome articles for www.HelloGiggles.com, and Judith, who has the most beautiful new baby daughter). I also got to hang out with two of my most creatively sarcastic and hilarious friends, Liz & Allie. Unfortunately, I don't get to spend enough time with any of those friends so the time we had together was amazing! Of course there were some hiccups in my trip, as there always will be (the bitch at the toll booth not giving me change so I almost couldn’t afford the toll, a 12-hour post-gall bladder surgery stomach ache, hydroplaning next to a semi and seriously thinking I was about to die, and following my outdated GPS’s directions onto the biggest one-way street in Pittsburgh, going in the wrong direction…for the second year in a row). But these little issues are completely forgotten when you're with friends that make each other laugh to the point of tears on a regular basis and who inspire you to be ridiculous. I couldn’t be more grateful for my life or the people in it. I just spent an amazing year in California with a lot of truly incredible people who taught me so much and then I got to come home to loving family and friends who make it seem like I never even left. I have one small trip left (to Chicago) in the States and then in just 10 days, I’ll be off to Korea, where I’ll get to spend time with my friend and ex-roomie from Italy, Jooyeon! Thank you to all of my amazing friends and family who make my life ROCK!! I love you guys!! :D
