my weekend away

Linking up with Syndal & Sar for a weekend update!
This weekend I…
   WENT HOME!!! I was on the fence about trekking home because a) it’s a 3 ½ hour drive and b) I didn’t feel 100% by the end of the week, but I’m so unbelievable glad I went! Going home is just the best. Always.
   Why? Because I…
   Got to hang with my BFF/sister! I had a sleepover with her in her dorm Friday night and yes, we did share the traditional freshman year twin bed. She even treated me to breakfast at the “Food Zoo”, aka campus dining hall, which was a glorious reminder about how much I do not miss dorm food. We then frolicked at the mall for a bit, trying on the weirdest glasses I’ve ever seen and holding humane society kittens. Not at the same time, I should add. Then we began the voyage home (an hour’s drive) to…

   Carve pumpkins, go thrifting for treasures, bake zucchini bread with homegrown deliciousness, and take “sister pictures” with the “third daughter” in the family – she’s adopted.

   The next morning consisted of my dad’s homemade “glop” for breakfast (SO GOOD), wedding talk, puppy dog nuzzles, coffee, packing, and goodbyes. The last one in the list wasn’t so fun. Neither was the second-to-last, actually.

   Then on the road again. Got treated to this delicious monstrosity. I didn’t even know this size existed??
   Now I’m back from my weekend getaway to the Best Place on Earth. Only a month until the next visit! I can hardly contain my excitement!

    1. Aren't those glasses just ridiculous?? I've seen the mustache ones, but whiskers?? There was even a pair that looked like a giraffe. Weird. Thanks for reading!

    1. Ah it was a blast! I always get into such a funk when I have to return to reality, though. Bittersweet, I guess. Sisters are great but sometimes friends can fill the void! I always wished I had more siblings but now I just pretend my gal pals are my sisters ;) Thanks for reading Ashley!

  5. Seeing your pumpkins makes me want to run out and carve one! I always wait until the day before Halloween. You've given me motivation! :)

    1. I hadn't carved pumpkins for a while! It was a lot of fun. You should just carve one a day up until Halloween! ;) Then you can have a little pumpkin family. Thanks for reading!

    1. Hahaha I'm loving that you're the only person who questioned my breakfast! It's basically scrambled eggs, tiny pieces of potato, sausage, cheese, onions, peppers, mushrooms all with a piece (or in my case, three) of toast! Soooo good.
