A Weekend Away!

Last weekend I went to Edmonds and it was great!

I tried oh so hard to find a ride from someone who was already going down, but no one was. I even contacted someone from the viking forum and asked them details for a ride they offered, but the seats in the car were full. Luckily, a very close friend (named Anna) was amazing and agreed to come up here and get me and take me down! We arrived in Edmonds Friday evening and I was able to spend Friday night with the folks.

Saturday I was able to fight every natural urge and woke up early. (Amazing, right?) I was out of the house by 9am, and went straight over to Brad and Brittneys. There I visited with Anna, Evan and B+B of course. It was a wonderfully relaxing day spent with some wonderful people! (And Evan is speaking a few french words which is very cute). Oh..and we had Taco Bell, which - well that alone would have made my day. Seriously, addicted much?

Sunday was the reason that I came down to Edmonds in the first place- Jolene and her Dad came over to visit! It was the first time I had seen Jolene in a couple years, and only the 3rd time I had ever seen her in person. Which does not seem at all accurate, because I feel like I know her so much better than that, but I'm pretty sure those times did it alone! We invited Brian and Britt over for dinner too, and the seven of us enjoyed a delicious dinner of lasagna, garlic bread and salad. (Sooooo goood - I want real food like that more often!) It was really sad to say goodbye to Jolene, but before she left she taught me how to stick my hair up with just one chopstick, PLUS she is letting me borrow one of her favorites. Love it!!

I was unable to procure a ride back up to Bellingham, so the parents had to take me back up there. Because I hadn't been able to see much of Max, he came too and we cuddled on the way up. Overall it was an amazing weekend that was ruined by the HW that awaited me up here....

Its weekends like that that make it harder to be in school and do HW. Before I left I was enjoying classes, and even the HW seemed reasonable, however after having an amazing weekend at home like that its just so hard to get back into this routine! My real life...with responsibilities! Eh! Though now that its been a full day (though it feels like a lot more) I'm getting back into the routine.

So thanks to everyone in Edmonds who helped make that weekend awesome, and can't wait to see you all again!
