Anniversary

So it's my 3 year anniversary with the boyfriend today, and we decided to go to Kissimee, Florida last minute at 2 in the morning last night lol. We were searching fun places to go in Florida where we could get away for a weekend, and finally decided on there since it wasn't too long of a drive, and there's plenty to do there.

So I'm leaving in about an hour with him, and I'm very excited to get away. I need a break from my family... I get frustrated with them because they don't understand many things, and don't take the time to try to accommodate to who I am. In my family, you're supposed to do everything your parents say, including getting the career they think is right for you, getting the boyfriend they think is right for you, etc. And to an extent, I believe every family is like this, but latin families are just obsessed with the idea of having the perfect child and want to make every decision for you.

Unfortunately for them, I am now 20, and make my own decisions.

Not to say I don't take their advice into consideration.

But I think it's just time to move on from this era. I'm about a year away from graduating, and 3 years with the boyfriend.. I think I'm ready for that next step. And I believe he is too, it's just that our money situation is so horrible since I am going to school full time and not working... Hopefully I get into this RISE program next summer, in which I'll be able to work about 40 hours a week doing research, then 20 hours during school time, and balance the two. Save up some money... he can save up some money... and we can get married when we graduate.

But everything takes time, so we shall see.

For now, I'm going to enjoy my weekend and not complain, because I'm blessed to have a man like him in my life :)
