We blew out of this town.

Well I have time on Christmas Eve to talk about the trip...!

We did it! Why? Here, a perfect example demonstrated through a text conversation between me and my friend, Mark.
Mark: I'm jealous of you and Katie having fun in the sun... down in Florida. The cape is so boring haha
Stephanie: Duh we already knew that, that's why we left!

Katie and I hit the road Saturday morning (I spent a good hour and a half at home before she picked me up to spend the night at her house haha) and headed towards Jupiter. We had every intention of driving straight there, but we decided to follow our parents' advice and get a hotel. Though then I remembered that my Godbrother, Ryan, recently moved to North Carolina, and he was amazing enough to take us in for the night. It was amazing to see him and catch up, I haven't seen him in years. We left the next morning and headed to Florida!

We spent that night and the next two days relaxing on the beach, shopping, and hanging out with Katie's sister, Rachel, and Rachel's fiance. I bought these amazing PJ pants at H&M that I'm obsessed with, got my free birthday gift and some lotion at Sephora, and walked away with a really nice, deep tan (at least on my arms and kinda my face). The trip was so, so, so worth it.




The drive was long and it was tough towards the end, but it was all okay because I was with my best friend. And it was FUN sitting in a car with her. We talked about everything underneath the sun and I really had an awesome time.

When we finally got back, I finally saw Samantha! We exchanged Christmas gifts (she got me Assholes Finish First by Tucker Max... such a trashy read, I love it. And I got her a framed picture of us and winter break coupons) and then went out. We went to Mark's house with another friend, Cory. My mom just looked at me funny when I told her I was going out, and I simply replied "Mom, life doesn't stop!" And she should know better than anyone.

Can't stop won't stop not once not never all day every day seven days a week. ;)

All in all, I've been having a fantastic winter break, and I've only been off for a week. Can't wait to see what the rest has in store for me!
