new jersey

so i've been able to relax for a week and has it been nice. though i'm kinda at the point of bored. like ok, what do i do now. especially without spending too much money. but it has been amazing to sleep in my own bed. i've spent some time unpacking - i hadn't quite unpacked from europe. i took whatever i needed for dc/seattle/indy out and have left the rest sitting in a suitcase. so that has been thrilling!

we got more snow sunday night/monday. i woke up to about 7" of white fluffy snow, which i was not happy about. especially as it was 65 on friday. it was quite disappointing only having one day of gorgeous weather and then it was 30 on saturday. but it means spring is almost here. i can't believe it is the last week of february already!

i had a really fun weekend and was pretty busy! despite the cold weather i went for a little walk in the woods on saturday afternoon which was fun and it was nice to get outside and enjoy the sunshine, and do something physical. and then i met up with erin saturday night and went out for a few drinks with her and her friend sarah, which was fun! it was nice to go out to bars and meet new people. i spent the night so it was fun to wake up the next morning and be lazy over breakfast and chatting. then i was lucky as my two friends from hs were both in the area this weekend so we met up for brunch at the local diner and chatted away and laughed about being 16 and everything. it is nice i've gotten to see them both so much recently! and then it was my family's february birthday party. so we went to my aunt's for the afternoon. which was good, as it was soooo windy sat/sun in jersey that our power line was down so we were without power for about 18 hours. (luckily i wasn't home for it)
                                

out with erin!

and now i'm really looking forward to this weekend! i get to see so many of my college friends in chestertown! it is birthday ball weekend - so i'm finally going back as an alum to birthday ball! it is a huge college-wide birthday party for george washington! and i'm going with my group of friends - amy, jeanne, kaity & meg. and then also getting to see a bunch of other friends who are also headed back. it is pretty much my college's equivalent to homecoming. and amy and i are headed to philly thursday afternoon to see jeanne and then have some fun in philly on friday before heading down to chestertown!
and with that a little belayted birthday wish to my fav president - gw!


and that is one of the many reasons why i love wac!

and i'm also excited because i printed out my fav europe pictures and put them in an album yesterday! yay! it made me smile when they were at the post office yesterday!  and i've also completely updated by photo365 blog. i hadn't updated at all in 2011 - so it was quite a task to go though and do 57 days!

yay photos!
