Surprising Brian

I am struggling a lot with the possibility of maybe going to visit my best friend over winter break or not. I do not really want to talk to my family about it because for all they know, I am going. For all the people at work know, I am going. I am staying at my other best friends house, who of course would have been harder to surprise, and she also thinks I am coming. I love a good pros and cons list so here we go.

Pro:

-I will get to see Brian.

-I will get to see Ari.

-I will get to see Stinky (Ari’s dog).

-I will get to meet Brian’s whole family.

Con:

-I will be away from my dogs for five days.

-I will be away from work. (Add on to that one. I think they already made the schedule for that week so as far as they know I am going and I feel like it would be quite the inconvenience to add me back on.)

-I will be losing a lot of money. 

So money has been a big thing for me lately. I spent so much of it in college and that was only the first ten weeks. I understand that a lot of people spend so much more than I did in only a couple weeks and I have done that. I bought myself a car and I have had car repairs that have cost more than that. I just don’t know how I am going to get the money back. I think I need to start being creative with it because it is not going to reimburse itself. That is the only thing at this point that is holding me back. I do not know how I feel about buying that plane ticket. After I buy the ticket, I am fine. I would not be stressed at all. It is really the only big stresser for me. I think that is understandable. I have to go for now. I woke my dog up and now he is just staring at me, anxiously waiting for me to hang out with him. I will follow up later.  

It is now 4:04 a.m. technically the next day and I am texting Brian and I am on Pinterest (my happy place). I then see in my “to remember” board the quote that I pinned for the cover of that board. All it says is “travel as much as you can.” So it looks as though I am buying a plane ticket tomorrow!

I bought the plane ticket last night so on November 24 so in about one week I will be seeing Brian! I am so excited and right now he is not home so we have barely talked but when we were in school he left for one weekend and that was too much time away. Now don’t get me wrong, I love being home. I love seeing all my friends and family and my dogs. I love being back at work and having something to preoccupy my day with but I really do miss Brian. I am also so excited to see Ari. Ari and I became super close over this past quarter and I am so glad we did. I really did not expect to become close to her but we couldn’t be more similar in a very good way. We both have our limits and I think those limits are really good. I am so excited for this next week. See you on the plane!
