My Weekend Off! :)

I had this weekend off from work, and let me tell you it was so much fun! Friday started out wonderful, I was able to go home 2 hours early from work because my brother Clay was coming up to visit! When I got home Clay and Josh were hanging out and I had some beautiful flowers waiting for me too!!

Thank you Joshy for starting the weekend off with a wonderful surprise! :)
When I got home I made a quick trip to the gym to swim some laps and then Josh, Clay, my other brother Kevin, and Josh's friend Marcus and I all went out to our favorite local Chinese Food Restaurant!! So delicious! After dinner we headed over to campus to see Marcus's new dorm (which let me tell you is nicer than any apartment I have ever lived in! click the link to see a virtual tour) They are brand new suite style dorms with crown molding and stainless steel appliances!! It's Insane!

After that the boys headed to a party and I went home to watch some 9/11 tribute documentaries. I must say that I was some what disappointed in the lack of patriotism on Friday. I wore a ribbon all day at work and if we didn't have painting/construction going on at the house I would have been flying my American Flag too! Oh well.

On Saturday we got up and got ready because Clay was going to practice his photog skills by taking some portraits of Josh, my friend Stephanie, and I. It was a bit chilly and cloudy, but apparently when it is cloudy is the best time to shoot - so that is what we did! We took pictures all over campus which worked out really great because it is so lush and pretty.

Final ProductIt was funny how many people were walking by and staring at us haha
Here are a few of the many we took that day. Clay quickly cleaned up a few of the shots in photoshop and sent them over, when he gives me the rest I will post them!

Not a huge fan of this one
I am in dire need of a tan haha
After pictures we came home and made pizza for lunch and then Clay headed home. Josh and I ran our errands and did the grocery shopping and then when we came home we headed over to the park with Stephanie and Anthony to play some tennis!

Lets just stay Stephanie and I don't have the best aim and a few of the balls ended up outside of the tennis court, and even in a tree haha
We finished the night off with some hungry hungry hippo and watched the season finale of the Real World Cancun - I can't believe Aiiya slept with Joey!

Sunday was a super productive day! Not only did we sleep in, which felt lovely, we also did some major house cleaning and a ton of laundry.
I also framed my College Diploma and hung it on the wall... it only took me a year and a half after I graduated to do it haha
Framing it up!
Closing it up tight!
And last but not least, putting it on the wall!
Joshy and I also took a bike ride in the rain :)
And we made some delicious bean dip for dinner and watched the news. Then I had to go to a Manager's meeting for work at 8pm which sucked, but oh well, it was still a great weekend!

Happy Monday!
