Today the worst US mass shooting took place in Las Vegas. Everything, down to the way the shooter planned this massacre, was sinister.
I woke up to the news this morning thinking I had overslept. I normally watch the local news before The Today Show comes on, but when I turned on the tv I was confused. Still barely awake from my alarm going off, I watched coverage of people running all over the place in Vegas. It took me a minute to realize this was current news, and that it happened late last night. I was stunned.
I immediately messaged my friend in Italy. She is my best friend and we message each other constantly, but this was too horrific. I can’t even imagine what goes on in the mind of a killer to hurt so many people. My heart hurts. Never in a million years did I imagine living in a world where this is a common thing in our own soil. I mean it when I say this: All I want out of life is for my friends and family to be safe!
Recapping the weekend before I left on my trip, a gender reveal party came out of nowhere. As usual, this was unexpected for me, but I knew I had to show support for our friend who is pregnant. Me and the girls stopped by Old Orchard mall to grab some last minute gifts and made our way to the party. I have to admit, even though I had plans to do laundry and get my things together for my upcoming trip, it did help with my nerves. There was so much commotion at the party that it kept my mind off things.
In the end, our friend found out she is having a boy! How exciting! Looking back, it was nice to witness this moment for her.
