When I finally walk up to my house from my bus stop I open the garage door then walk inside.
As open the door a burst of cool air hits me and it feels great. It's still warm outside, because beginning of September. I live in Illinois so it's only 75 degrees but that's still pretty warm I guess for where I live.

When I walk in my mom, dad and sister are all sitting on the couch.

My sister Kaylee is a senior in high school, but she drives home so she got to the house before me.
I took the bus today because my best friend Erin and I are on the same bus and her car broke down and she didn't want to ride alone.

They all look at me and I think our family is about to have a serious talk, so I get pretty nervous and my shaky hand sets down my backpack on the floor and I ask "is everything okay?"
My dad replies, "just sit down"
When I sit my mom looks at me and then brings her hands from behind her back and she is holding 4 plane tickets to Florida.
As me and my sister jump up and down in excitement my mom exclaimed "better start packing our plane leaves in 12 hours!"
As Kaylee and I start to run upstairs my mom says that we are renting a house down in Florida, but that we will be sharing it with another family that will be joining us.
"Who's the other family?" I ask.
And then when I didn't think things could get any better they just did as my mom replies with , "the O'Brien's."
