Thursday my parents came up from NJ to see my brother and I and to help us get settled into our new places. They took us out to dinner Thursday night when I was done with work. It was great to see them. It was only a month and a half ago that we saw them last, but it was nice to have them back in town here and not having to drive down there. After dinner we unloaded everything my parents got from me at IKEA and the random stuff at their place that they brought for me to have.
Friday I worked at school like usual and then came back to the apartment and my parents came over to help me set some of the things up. We put blinds up, put my dresser and entertainment center together, my Mom unpacked my kitchen for me (finally), and we just spent time talking and organizing. It was a very nice afternoon. After they left to get dinner with friends I did a little more unpacking and organizing, ran a few errands, and packed for the wedding. I hung out with a friend and watched a movie and just tried to relax for a little while.
Saturday was a whirlwind of activity. I met my parents and brother for breakfast and then left for camp! I picked up a friend along the way and then we went to Melody Lodge for lunch. We enjoyed a nice lunch and then headed to camp to get changed for the wedding. This picture is a view from the parking lot at Melody's looking out over a lake.
Now let me explain this to you, yesterday there was a high of 50 degrees in Speculator, NY. Therefore it was a cold wedding! We all still looked cute while being warm which worked out nicely. The wedding itself was beautiful! The chapel was decorated nicely, the ceremony was traditional, loving, and truly heartfelt. And the party after was a blast!! They filled the dinning hall with gorgeously decorated tables and a nice buffet for dinner and a good size area for us to dance in! It was awesome to sit and socialize with friends, especially those that I hadn't seen for a few years. We all had a great time, eating, drinking, dancing, and being merry! The picture is of our table decoration!
We headed back to the cabin to go to bed and froze! We could see our breaths and were in layers! I slept in tights, sweatpants, socks, a tank top, long sleeve shirt, and fleece jacket all inside my sleeping bag with a thin fleece blanket on top. I was plenty warm once I was in there, but having to get up in the morning was not pleasant! Sadly a few of my friends got a stomach bug/food poisoning (we aren't sure which) so it was a bit of a rough night with not a lot of sleep, but it was worth it overall.
This morning we ended up leaving around 10. We were considering hiking but it was cold, rainy, and we had sick friends so that went out the window pretty quickly. I got home a little after 1, took a nap, showered, ate some dinner, and spent the rest of the night doing homework. I always seem to forget how long homework can take, but it all got done!
As for the rest of this week, it should be back to a "normal" work schedule and this weekend I'll just be working and laying low. Most of my friends are going camping but I couldn't get another weekend off of work, so I'll be baking something yummy and hopefully find something new to try to make for dinner.
