My freak out is officially over and have enjoyed having more responsibilities. If I didn't do some of things around the house, they would never get done and well that would be just disgusting. I also enjoy not having to be accountable to anyone.

I finally got my vacation hours at work and am currently in the process of using them all. Alicia and I have been in the UK/Ireland for a week. What an awesome trip this has been! And guess what, we don't hate each other yet! It's so nice to have a friend that doesn't get frustrated easily when things to go right. We have stayed up late each night playing games and chatting on the internet. When we finally do get into bed, we stay up another 30 minutes just talking. Between having her as my best friend and the job that I have, I have learned to take things as they come and just deal with it. Life is too short to get frustrated when things don't happen like you want them to! Growing up has been a huge part of things.

I have finally realized when my brother is pressing my buttons and I actually make an effort to curb his attempts before he gets me too frustrated
