**Started this post last week, so this is a recap of two weekends ago.  Better late than never…

This past weekend was one of those weekends where I didn’t have a moment to sit back and relax because I was out and about- having fun and making me all the more excited for summer to get here!  It’s so close and this weekend’s warm weather is going to make getting through these next two weeks of exams so much harder to endure, but then…FREEDOM.

Friday

I got a bunch of Russ’ friends together to celebrate his birthday at Dave & Buster’s!  It was no 21st birthday celebration, but it was fun nonetheless, and actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be.  His birthday isn’t until next weekend, but this is what he wanted to do!  It wasn’t a lot of us, but the guys went off and did their thing while Nicole and I played games that got us a lot of tickets and also DDR.  I used to have DDR at home and after Friday night, I am strongly considering bringing it back out at home.  So much fun and such a good workout…my legs were sweating 🙂  In the end, everyone had a lot of fun, especially Russ, and that’s all that matters!

We accumulated a lot of tickets, but there are no good prizes!  Everyone used their tickets to get candy, but I used mine to get a Superman mug.  It lasts longer…

Saturday

After a super late night on Friday, I had to get up early because a very special little someone had GRADUATION!  Teddy graduated from his Level 1 training course and it was as adorable as it sounds- graduation music, certificates, and Milk Bones for the graduates.

I wouldn’t say he is excelling in his new tricks-because he is still as bad as ever-, but I know he can do them and we learned the commands and corrections.  I’m definitely happy to have my Saturday mornings back, though.

After graduation fun and some time at the dog park, I was rather productive!  I spent the day doing homework and hanging out in my sweats.  I spent the rest of the night watching Netflx in bed, going back to my grandma roots.

Sunday

My oh my, Sunday was such a great day! I spent the morning at job training (Yes!! I got a new job.  Details to come!) and then caught the train from the city to Manayunk to spend the day with my best friends from college.  It’s been awhile since you’ve seen them on here and it was so good to be back together.  It felt very “college” to be playing corn hole and drinking beers in the sunshine.  I miss college and I miss THEM!

We walked through Manayunk’s StrEAT festival and had our normal shenanigans.

This was post-complimentary tequila shot and it was DISGUSTING! After spending the entire afternoon catching up, I took the train to more shenanigans!  A really fun day continued into the night and I woke up Monday morning paying for it 🙂

Looking forward to an entire summer just like that perfect sunny weekend!
