We made four days into five!

Hello, hello!! It's finally Thursday and I am one class away from my three day weekend! This has been one long, hard week...I had lots and lots of assignments due, several papers, lots of reading as usual and a french oral. That coupled with the fact that I got very very little sleep last weekend and no homework done due to a fantastic weekend filled with friends made my week seem a little longer and harder than usual. But I'd say the memories made and the fun times had were well worth the longs nights, tired morning and sleep deprived headaches this week has brought!

Some of the fun memories we made last weekend:

Thursday afternoon I went to the airport to pick up Tricia, while an unsuspecting Bethany decided to skip class and come down a day early. Little did she know, she was in for a big surprise when I got home with her little sister in the car. Her reaction was priceless! Unfortunately due to my phone's stupidity and possibly my own ineptness I missed recording the whole thing.

Anyhow a little back story, Tricia flew in from Texas to surprise Bethany and Stephanie. This was the weekend we were celebrating both of their birthday's so Tricia's presence only added to the celebratory festivities of the weekend.

Friday we ate lunch at the Pirates House, which is always delicious then spent a wonderful lazy afternoon in Forsyth Park. We went home and freshened up and continued our night downtown, we went to see Gone with the Wind in the Lucas Theater. Don't get me wrong, Gone with the Wind is a great movie, definitely one to see in your lifetime, but it's one that you can only watch like once every five to ten years, because it's just too long!

Saturday morning we got up after only a few short hours of sleep at 5:30 to go watch the sunrise at the beach. But just as our luck would have it, it was cloudy so we could only see splices of the sky as it changed colors. Nonetheless it was a beautiful reminder that man is without excuse, God has revealed himself through many means!

So just to be ironic, we went and ate breakfast at Sunrise before we came home and crashed for another several hours. And this is how we made four days into five. Because when we all woke up we felt like we had another whole day ahead of us.

Saturday afternoon (Saturday #2) we psyched our selves up to go see "The House at the End of the Street." Just a little bit about me. I don't like scary movies, I only watch them if and when we're holed up at home, snuggled down in a big blanket with my best friends. So I was not for going to see this movie. AT.ALL. While it was scary at parts, I thought it was a good psychological thriller. There were several twists and some good ole make you jump out of your skin parts, but it was worth seeing. 

Sunday was a sad day, because it was the beginning of the end. After a morning/afternoon of church, Olive Garden and Downton Abbey it was time for it all to end. Bethany back to Columbiaand Tricia back to Texas and us all  back to the daily grind.

I am beyond blessed to have some great friends in my life like Bethany, Patricia and Stephanie. We have lived near, and then far and now we're near together again and through it all our friendship has remained. GOD IS SO GOOD!!

Now for that last class and on to another fantastic weekend celebrating Stephanie's birthday again...this time in Atlanta!!! Hooray!
