Surprises!

At the beginning of this week, I was getting ready to attend the UNC Charlotte vs. Temple basketball game when my phone rings. When I looked at it, I was surprised to see that my sister was calling because she usually only calls about something that she needs or wants to borrow from me. I answered the phone and she said "I've been meaning to talk to you about something". She then starts to ramble on asking me all these questions and then she says "Will you be the maid of honor in my wedding this summer?" My heart dropped because I didn't know what it was going to entail and I have never been a big part of a wedding before. I continued to talk to her about what exactly I had to do and she said that out of all of her friends, she would like for me to do her toast and to plan out her bachelorette party. I am not a very good planner nor am I a good public speaker so all that kind of hit me at once and I started rethinking my decision. When I talked to my mom later on that day, I realized how much of an honor it is to be asked to do such a thing in a wedding. I finally told my sister that I would do it and she started crying because she was so excited about it. I cannot believe she is already so grown up and getting married. It's hard to believe that she will be living with her husband in less than a year and we will have to call each other to even see each other instead of just calling each other to borrow something. I have learned to cherish every moment in life because life goes by way to fast and some people don't even get to enjoy it.
