Friday night I lived up my single girl dreams of staying in and veging out watching movies that I love! When Harry Met Sally... followed by Walk the Line coupled with pizza, Pepsi, and popcorn put a great cap on a great week.
Saturday I thought I was going to sleep in, but I was jerked from sleep at 7:30 by a phone call from none other than Lu-Bird. She was all flustered because of the PRAXIS, 1 hour parking, and cell phones. After that, I decided it would be best to just get up and get the day started. I was able to get quite a bit done before Lu came back in between tests. We watched some of Footloose, and I sent her back to her tests. When that was over, we went for pizza and cupcakes and the new version of Footloose. :)
All too soon it was time to say goodbye to Lu-Bird, but on the upside, I was headed to Autumn's house to go to Elizabeth's musical! :) Naturally, I wouldn't drive far enough and I thought I was lost until the gas station lady told me I was close to the school. Rolled up to Tums laughing hysterically! So much laughter on our dive! As soon as I saw that giant strawberry, I.lost.it. Seriously, why would you have a HUG+E strawberry on top of your city hall? :)
We headed to North Crawford. I had only scribbled down bits and pieces of the directions we needed, and I got us turned down the wrong way. It was dark, and we were chancing running late for the show. I kept joking with Tums about stopping at a farmhouse to ask for directions, but she wouldn't hear of it! We finally got turned around and got confirmation from her mom that we were going the right way. We also found the landmarks like the goat cheese factory! :)
After quickly finding a parking spot, more like a makeshift one, we ran across the parking lot and into the school. After scrambling for enough cash to get our tickets, we struggled to find our seats in the dark. Good thing it was a little easy because they were the only 2 seats left in the row! :) This play was AWESOME!!! You can tell that a lot of work was put into the production! So much fun was had and sometimes, I forgot I was watching a live production and I started singing along! :) Love GREASE!! :)
Afterwards, we found the little lady in the middle! What a cute cheerleader Elizabeth made! :)
We made plans to meet back up after changing under the taxidermy deer head that hangs among other animals in the school hallway. This jogged my memory about a conversation I had with Daniel about him taking that class during his senior year! Speaking of Daniel, we found his senior picture displayed! :)
We definitely needed to make a stop for caffeine after talking to Elizabeth for a long time late at night. When we finally made it back to Tums' house, we all but fell into bed! What a wonderful day!
Today, Tums took me to her church and I got to meet her Grandpa Charlie! What a wonderful man! Tums then took me all over Strawberry Point! We took a trip to Backbone State Park and it was BEAUTIFUL! :) While we didn't see any cougars, we did see 2 Bald Eagles in all their glory!
After a wonderful late afternoon lunch of Chinese, it was time to head back to UNI. What a great weekend with some great friends! God has blessed me with some AMAZING friends that are close and live in strange places! :)
