I find the terrors of being twenty-two are not as bad as they seem. With tomorrow being the day I spent the day with my family having an early celebration. We were trying to figure out what to do and where we should go then someone thought of the OC Fair. We headed over around 4pm and got in around 5:30pm. We were starving so the first thing we did was order food. As it goes, everything at the Fair is most likely larger and deep fried, but so good. We walked around and enjoyed the sights. The walk through the works from local artists was my favorite. Such beautiful works and great talent from those who live in the same areas as us. It was nice to see that. While admiring the art and seeing the beauty within each image, I was distracted as I looked beyond the works and saw four people standing in front of me. I saw my mother the one who gave me life, I saw my father who works so hard to take care of me, I saw my brother who is the other man in my life, and my sister who bring the fun and excitement to the house. This is my family, I know some days we have our difficulties, but I would give my life for these guys. We have grown so much over the years and as I get older I cherish every moment I get to spend with them. From vacations, to movies, to just being in the same house, I enjoy doing everything with them. Sometimes they make me want to scream, but I thank God for them, they've helped make me who I am. After this we went walking about the fair again and decided to do the chair lift. It was nice being able to look all over the fair. While we hung I was terrified of dropping my phone, I almost did. The view was amazing, but also very scary. We walked around and I took a cute picture with my siblings. I couldn't get over how much we've all grown over the years. Seemed like yesterday we were playing with dolls and action figures and now one is going to Graduate school, one is starting college, and the last one made it through ninth grade. Life comes at you so fast and before you know it you're out on your own starting your own family. It all happens so fast. Wstayed st the fair til late, walked around, ate, and just took in the sights. Later on that night my parents decided to give me my birthday present that night seeing that they wouldn't be able to give it to me tomorrow. I got exactly what I wanted. A pair of basic vans and two tickets to warped tour.
Later on when the clock hit twelve, my best friends came and brought me gifts too. We talked about the birthdays before and the fun memories we've had over the years. How fast time flies. The first birthday we shared together was out 17th, and it's been history ever since. I am so thankful for them sticking by my side all these years. I couldn't imagine life without them.
