Short and Sweet

This is going to be a short and sweet recap post of my fun weekend!

On Friday, I spent most of my day running errands and doing homework. It wasn’t super fun but it was very productive. I woke up early to get my workout in before going to get my teeth cleaned and my eyebrows threaded.

After all of that was done, I spent my afternoon drinking coffee and studying for my upcoming Fundamentals of Engineering exam. I finished off the day with a short jog on the treadmill before heading to Dan’s for movie night. We made chocolate chip cookies and watched Boondock Saints.  

On Saturday,  I went up to Merrimack, NH to get together with some friends that I went to college with. For some of us, it was the first time getting together since graduation- which is crazy because just six months ago we couldn’t go more than 48 hours without each other. We spent the entire day  catching up, playing games, eating snacks, and cooking delicious food. It was so nice to just spend time together again and relax. Unfortunately I made the mistake of taking no pictures besides this one…

Sunday was my grandma’s annual craft show called “The Pumpkin Patch.” She makes beautiful crafts and opens her home for the weekend to all sorts of vendors and customers. The weather was dreary, but I had a great time during the few hours that I was there. I spent most of my time playing with Max, who is such a little ball of sunshine.

Weekend Recap

The last few days have been so hectic with the term ending and trying to pack for a 2.5 month trip. Usually at the end of the term, all I want to do is sleep but there is certainly no time for that now! I have been a little stressed about getting everything done in time, but luckily I was able to take some time out of the past few days to relax with loved ones and forget about this for a bit. 🙂

On Friday, Conor and I went out to dinner with my grandparents for an early birthday celebration. Since I’ll be in Australia when I turn 21, they wanted to do a little something special. We went to a little restaurant down the road and it was delicious. We had clam chowder, lazy lobster, and Papa and I each had a huge brownie Sundae. I couldn’t even come close to finishing mine so Conor helped. I loved spending a little extra time when them before my trip!

On Saturday, I woke up around 9:30 and immediately called to set up an appointment with the nail salon. I got my first manicure and pedicure in a very long time – and it felt so good! I always love getting my nails done before a big trip, something about it just makes me even more excited to go.

Around 12 o’clock, my Dad and Peggy came over and we went out to lunch. We went to a little brick-oven pizzeria in the area and it was delicious as always. They surprised me with the cutest little going away box filled with a ton of necessities for my trip!

It had sunscreen, plane snacks, motrin, bug spray, chapstick, baby wipes, Purell, and other travel sized items. This little guy was also in the box. 🙂

After lunch, I spent most of my day trying to finish packing and making a list of everything that I need to do before I leave tomorrow. Around 6pm my entire family (and some friends) came over for a party. It was a combination 40th birthday party for my aunt and a going-away party for me.

It was so nice that I got to see everyone before I leave!

I’m off now to run the rest of my errands and (finally) finish packing.
