A Fun-filled Weekend

So my weekend pretty much started Thursday afternoon when Marie arrived in B-town. No studying was to be had after her arrival--we had some serious catching up to attend to :). Thursday night Marie, Danielle, and I went to Bagel Works for supper. Mmm...bagel sandwiches get me every time. Danielle was generous/feeling guilty and decided to share her bunny tracks ice-cream. Misery loves company, right? Haha! Marie and I didn't refuse :). Afterwards, we dropped Danielle off at the HPER to get on the track bus for the meet in Lincoln. Marie and I made a Wal-mart run for make-up, milk, and tea (the essentials?) :), then rented a movie (Amelia Earhart), and then spent the night chatting, sipping tea, and watching the movie. Great night!

The next morning I had class, but I left Marie with my student ID so she hit up the Wellness center for a run on the treadmill. After I got back from class, we went to Cottonwood for lunch--tuna melts and Diet Coke. No meat on Fridays isn't much of a sacrifice :). After a couple hours of eatin' and chattin', Marie headed back home. I had a quiet afternoon and night of homework and Gilmore Girls--it was nice :).

On Saturday, I got up and got a 5-miler in right away. It was a beautiful, peaceful morning so my run was very enjoyable! I then had to work catering from 10am to 3pm.

Saturday night was the formal that the University Program Council put on. Danielle insisted on a picture before Taber and I left. It felt like prom all over again :).

We met up with a few other couples from the Newman Center and were then picked up by a limo and taken to Days Inn. They served us a three course meal consisting of salad, chicken, beef, or fettucine entree with baked potato, green beans, and dinner roll, and cheesecake(pudding on crumbs) with strawberry/blueberry topping. It was nice. And yes, I ate my cheesecake despite giving up sweets for dessert, but I decided I wouldn't eat sweets on Sunday to make up for it. Fair enough? :)

Look at this cute couple! :)

I think these two were going for a GQ pose. They thought they were pretty cool :).

Kelsey and I joined in!

This is Kristine, one of the FOCUS missionaries at the Newman Center. I loved her dress!

The dance was a lot of fun, but after a little while, we needed a little break so we went out to the lobby to play Ninja. I'm really bad at it, but I always enjoy watching(and taking pictures) once I get out :).

We had a lot of fun! The night was filled with good food, fun dancing, and great people. All in all, it was a great way to spend a Saturday night.

Today, Danielle and I went to the Newman Center women's house for pancakes after church. Oh, FYI, a great way to eat pancakes is to put peanut butter AND maple syrup on them. Yummo! You must try it! :) Then this afternoon, we did an 8-miler. It was a little bit chilly going against the wind(especially for Danielle who forgot to wear gloves--Eeeediot...haha! jk), but all in all, it felt great to get a long run in!

Danielle is at FOCUS upper-room night so I'm home alone. I'm gonna get some studyin' in--I have to catch up on my online class and study for a test in Advanced Nutrition this week(love that class so I don't mind studying). :)

Have a good week everyone and keep up the bloggin'! I love it!
