So This is What it's Like

When did I start calling my mom up just to talk? I swear, I've talked to her more since I moved to Chicago than I did in an entire year back at home. I talk to her like a friend. A best friend. I've never felt more grown up. I always wanted to be included by the adults at family functions. I remember trying to get in on the card games and adult chit chat. And now I'm finally there. I'm being regarded as another one of the adults. I'm not sure if I should be filled with excitement or terrified by the realization that I'm not a little kid anymore.

At the end of a three hour long conversation, I can say one thing. I feel much more at ease. It's always nice to know that if I ever really need something, my family will do whatever they can to help.

Blehhh, almost one in the a.m. I should be heading to bed soon. Seeing JustinJ tomorrow :) Wooo!
