Happy 4th :)

Ah me. It's always nice to come back from a weekend at home and feel refreshed. I had such an awesome time these past few days, I decided to share it with my devoted readers.

Friday afternoon I headed out for my 3 hour trip back home to Dallas. I decided to be brave and try out the new detour around Richland so I wouldn't get stuck in the madness that is I-45. It was a nice change of scenery, and I highly recommend it as a shortcut when 45 gets backed up. So anyway, I survive the ride home, and I am greeted by my loving family :) I hung around for all of 30 minutes (which I kind of feel bad about...), and then headed for Jeff's house. We had a WONDERFUL dinner of grilled chicken, broccoli, salad, bread, and rice. It was awesome for one who didn't really eat all day Friday.

So after dinner Jeff and I went over to Heather's house and celebrated her b-day with catching up with friends and an awesome ice cream cake that her mom made... oh my gosh that was sooooo good.

Saturday felt like an entire weekend in itself. I went back over to Jeff's around 8:30 AM and ate breakfast. Shortly after, we walked down to the end of his block where we watched the annual Highland Park parade where we got pelted with candy by the band float :) That was really fun to see all of our younger band friends. After finishing the parade watching, we had lunch, and then got invited to J.D. Kearney's house for a swimming party. It was so fun to hang out with J.D., his girlfriend Merissa, and Nick. We swam, had dinner, and then went to see Dodgeball (wow that movie... that's another story).

Anyway, I made the 3 hour ride back to College Station, and I'm now listening to the fireworks outside. You can just barely see them over the houses across the street which is pretty cool looking. And now I must finish studying for my biology test. My procrastination has gone on long enough. Until I have more time to blog...
