Eric and I headed to Oklahoma this weekend to get away from the city and to enjoy one last "hurrah" before school really starts to demand all my time and the weather becomes an obstacle. It was really nice to go on a road trip together and see his family, and we managed to pack a lot in to a few short days, all summarized below!
A few highlights from the weekend:
-Getting to talk with my very best friend about our worries, our hopes and our love
-Spending the day with Eric's nephew, who is probably THE most energetic 8-year old I've ever met.
-Making up new words to songs on the radio on the drive down
-Watching Eric daintily spit out his sunflower seeds into a bottle with his pinky in the air
-Celebrating our friend Kelly's birthday at his house where he made spaghetti and meatballs from scratch
-Hanging out with Eric's sisters and parents and enjoying way too much food in a 3-day time span
A few LOWlights from this weekend:
-Making two 13-hour drives in a 4-day time span
-Finding out that one wheel on my car is likely to fall off the next time I drive on the highway (there goes $200 in repairs)
-Watching Eric and Kelly pick up dead rats/large mice with minimal sanitary equipment and subsequently worrying about lyme disease
-Enduring ridiculous allergies AND catching a severe cold which is still going strong
Despite the less exciting moments, we had a great time this weekend. It was a nice change of scenery and it's always great to get to see friends and family that live far away. That being said, I'm going to go down some DayQuil and reminisce over mountains of Kleenex and cough drops.
