Today I booked a plane ticket. I didn't consult my bank account. I didn't bother to look at the balance on my credit cards. I just booked a ticket. That really made me think about my life. All my life, I have always been concerned with money, having enough, saving enough, earning enough. And today I realized that I am so blessed to no longer have to constantly worry about money.
I have the ability to buy obscenely expensive shoes, book flights on a whim and still come home to a house that I own...all at the young age of 25.
Way to have life put into perspective...

The Best Place to Ride out a Blizzard
This last Friday, Winterstorm Nemo paid the Northeast a visit. Lucky for me I had planned a trip to sunny Myrtle Beach for that same weekend. I was a little worried that my flight would be canceled. Luckily I made it out of NJ with only a little delay. I was going to Myrtle Beach without Kunal since he books his tickets pretty far in advance. But thanks to Nemo, Kunal was able to rebook his flight to come to Myrtle Beach.
We both arrived around the same time which was nice. We got some drinks while we waited for his mom to pick us up. Considering I only had a fruit and yogurt parfait in EWR, the mimosa and double tequila at MYR wasn't the best idea but oh well. Of course, we stopped by Bojangle's on the way to the beach. I haven't had Bojangles since November so it was the perfect first meal, especially after the drinking!
Saturday, my parents came down to visit. I'm glad they did because while my dad came up to NJ over the holidays, I hadn't seen my mom since Thanksgiving. We went over things for the wedding, which was the main purpose for this trip. We got the guys fitted for the reception since they are all wearing tuxedos, and then the girls hit the mall. While I had no luck finding anything, Rochani found a super cute pair of heels. We had a family dinner and then the "kids" went bowling. I was really good 2 weeks ago when I finally broke 100 and got a score of 126..I suppose this make me too cocky and I really sucked that night. Guess that's that happens when you don't bowl regularly.
Sunday was the day of departures. Kunal and I had afternoon flights and my parents were leaving to drive back to Raleigh. Kunal and I both had a layover in Charlotte but because of our flight times, we wouldn't be able to see one another. But my flight to EWR was delayed so I was able to see him again and bring him some Bojangle's before we had to part ways again. =)
