Weekend Wrap Up!

Well, one thing is for sure. That would be that I had a fantastic week/weekend. This past week was my boyfriends Spring Break/Mardi Gras Vacation. I only had Monday and Tuesday (and part of Wednesday) off but I spent most of Monday and part of Wednesday working. So, boyfriend came into town and stayed the whole time, this was a very rare occasion. 

The rest of my weekdays were filled to the brim with homework, studying, and cleaning. Then the weekend came. At first, I didn't think that this weekend was going to be busy. Boy was I wrong. You see, Friday Boyfriend and I just hung out, ran errands and went to bed somewhat early (read: midnight). Then we had to wake up SUPER EARLY Saturday morning (read: 8am). So we woke up super early and were supposed to go eat breakfast with my friend Kiki (who runs this little blog). But, due to sickness she was unable to make it :( 

She's so incredibly kind and beautiful. Love her. SO, after we ran back to my dorm, we had to hurry and pack up a bag for the weekend, run errands with boyfriend and then head to New Orleans for our friends Kristen and Greg's engagement shower. The shower was beautiful. It was a night shower, so we had to get dressed up. Boyfriend wore a button down shirt and a sweater, and I of course was wear a dress and flats (boyfriend isn't much taller than me so I don't usually wear heels). 

(This is not a picture from this weekend. Unfortunately I forgot to bring a camera. BUT it is a picture of boyfriend and I) 

All in all it was a fun weekend. We ended up not getting home till late Saturday night and then woke up early Sunday (read: 11am ish) and I had to drive back home so I could get some homework done. 

New Orleans Weekend

I spent this last long weekend before school starts with my boyfriend in New Orleans. He's in school down there so the purpose of the trip was to get him settled back into his apartment and spend some time together before we both have to go a month without seeing each other (in person that is; we always do skype dates at night before we go to sleep). 

Friday I didn't get off of work until 7:30, so we didn't leave town till about 8:45-9. By the time we got to Nola we were both exhausted so we brought everything in and then went to sleep.

Saturday, we slept until about 10ish and then watched How I Met Your Mother: Season 1 alllll day. But really, it took us all day to watch half the season because we'd watch one episode and then fall asleep for 20 minutes. And then repeat the process. 

By the time Sunday rolled around we really wanted to go into the heart of the city. We walked (literally) across New Orleans and back, stopping and taking pictures every now and then. Really, we spent a good 6-7 hours out there. Then we went to this adorable little gelato place and split a scoop of mint gelato (it was delicious to say the least). 

Monday brought on a day of packing and organizing. We made one last trip to walmart to get everything we forgot and then headed home. Boyfriend packed my bags back in my car and I headed home. 

I'd have to say it was a successful trip. 

Nawlins

Or as most other people know it as, New Orleans. I recently went there with some friends to walk around the Aquarium, French Market and Bourbon Street. All I know is that I love it there. I wouldn't want to live there, or even go to school there, but once every now in then it's an amazing place to go spend the day, or the weekend. There were so many buildings that were broken down and abandoned that I wanted to go in (I have a way of finding myself in abandoned places), however, my friends persuaded me that it wouldn't be such a good idea. Now, any other city, fine, no problem. But not in New Orleans. Here are just a few pictures that I took while I was there.

Hoops

Tonight, I'll be attending my first New Orleans Hornets basketball game. Although the Hornets aren't the best (read: they're actually very bad) I have a feeling tonight's game will be fun. A few of my friends who live in New Orleans are always on my case how I've watched football (and pretty much every other sport except basketball) but I've never been to a Hornets game. However, that will all change tonight. After school I'll head home and pack my bags (and hope to find something cute/casual to wear tonight) then it's off to my first game. Now, I played a little bit of basketball in my day (about 4 years in elementary school) but that doesn't mean it's my absolute favorite sport. I'm hoping for the best!
