Weekending: Memorial Day Recap

This weekend was such a blast! I was able to go and visit one of my best friends who is going to school down in Oregon. I left on Friday morning and headed south. The drive was only supposed to take under 4 hours but it took a little over 5. I was exhausted when I got there, but I didn't let that stop us.

We started with a trip to the mall, followed by a trip to fro yo, typical girls!

 On Saturday we got up early and headed to the ocean! It wasn't the prettiest day, but it ended up being okay. We walked around a little bit and looked at the cute shops. I don't care what the weather is...I love the beach, sun, and sand.

We went out to dinner at a cute little Brewery and then got two movies from Redbox. We went with one fun and one more serious. I really liked Big Hero 6 and Wild was a little different from what I expected but it was still worth watching. 

On Sunday we went and got pedicures! We also went to see Pitch Perfect 2! I enjoyed it but I also thought that there was some unnecessary vulgarity and sexual content. Maybe I'm just getting old and more prude but I didn't think ti was necessary for the movie. The story was cute, but I could have done without that. 

It was an awesome 4 days off. Back to school, only 16 school days until summer! :D

Weekending: happy 2015!

Happy 2015!

Friday

My fiance took Friday off so we were able to relax and enjoy the day together. One of my friends was here visiting all week so I took her to the airport in the morning. 

Saturday

I went to zumba with one of my friends and it felt so good to be back in the gym. Zumba is by far my favorite exercise class. After class we went to Old Navy because they had yoga pants on sale, I got two pairs. Having new clothes always makes me want to work out because then I get to wear them. 

I came home and spent the afternoon working on my Masters and then grocery shopping. I'm trying to make some new healthy meals but I'm not the best cook so it's a struggle. This is my attempt at meal planning:

Saturday night we went to Fantasy Lights which is where they put a ton of lights at a local amusement park and open some of the rides. It was only $10 each and one of our other friends want to go so we went, and it was a lot of fun! It was nice to do something different.

Sunday

After church we went and visited my Grandad. He is going to build us a bed to match the nightstand and dresser he made us when we moved into our apartment so we brought him pictures of one that we liked. We spent the rest of hate afternoon just relaxing and watching football.

I can't believe winter break was over. It was such an amazing two weeks. I always dread going back to school after long breaks but I know it won't be as bad as I think, I just need to go in with a postiive attitude. 

....6 months until summer!

weekending: rivarly football weekend.

This weekend was so jam packed but such a blast.Thanksgiving was great. We went to my fiance's sisters house and had a great dinner with all of his family. After dinner we went shopping and got some great deals (see my five on friday post).

We went to Pullman for our college football game and it was such a fun weekend. There were a lot of friends from college there and my college roommates and I all stayed at my brothers apartment in town so it was just like old times. We made 'family dinner' friday night before we went out and then a big breakfast the next morning.

 It snowed on Saturday morning and our friend invited us to tailgate with them before the game. Check out their set up, enclosed tents with two patio heaters inside...yes please!

We hadn't bought tickets to the game because I didn't want to pay $65 each when I knew we could watch it in the bar and be warm. Plus I was secretly hoping I could find tickets cheaper closer to the game or that we would know people who didn't want their tickets. Well we were chatting with people at the bar before the game and they were like, we don't wanna go, it's going to be too cold. So we got three FREE tickets and off to the game we went! I was one happy girl. 

Our stadium isn't huge so we were able to stand on the concourse and enjoy the game with this lovely view. 

 The game didn't go our way, but that's okay. We are used to it unfortunately. Everyone went back to the bar after the game and when we were walking home I thought it felt cold...yup.

The 5 hour drive home today was long, but it was so worth it. Another Apple Cup in the books. So thankful for a college that I love, the infectious spirit, and the best friends anyone could ask for. 

GO COUGS!
