Friday night Megan and I went on a "date" because even though we live together, we really don't spend a lot of time together just the two of us. Plus, her going to bed at 9pm habits lately don't really allow for much going out! I have been trying to keep busy so I'm never home...so we actually went out on Friday for ice cream and a movie. We went to Block E downtown because that was one of two theaters showing the movie we wanted to see. That place was basically deserted on a Friday night because there's nothing in there anymore except the Shout House. However, conveniently there is a Cold Stone right next to the theater ticket office. So we had some ice cream and caught up on our lives, saw a movie, and by 9pm we were both tired and went home to bed. Haha, when did we get to be so old?
This is a crazy fall weekend in MN with 85 degree temps. The leaves are beautiful and the air is full of that crunchy leaf smell. My mom and I went for a walk yesterday and enjoyed this last bit of warm weather. After that I went on a shopping mission to find a dress to wear to a wedding last night. My friend Kellie asked me to go as her date to a wedding reception and I had nothing to wear. Well I found two dresses (one to wear to another wedding in Nov), and some sweaters and shirts that were all on sale! Needless to say I came out with much more than I went in for. The mall is a dangerous place when they are having fabulous fall sales.
So I went with Kellie this this wedding reception that was at the cutest little place. I didn't think I knew who the bride even was, but then we realized we had met once before so it wasn't as weird going to a random wedding. It was a nice reception with an open bar (always nice). It was a little strange to be at a wedding, since the last wedding I went to was...two years ago?? And the next wedding I was supposed to go to was my own. In some ways being there made me get excited about planning mine again, but also made me sad about the plans I already had and how they will probably have to be different the next time around. Hopefully just as good though. We had to leave early to go meet some friends in uptown for a birthday. Being out on the town felt really good. I have been staying busy and spending time with people, but it was nice to be out among the masses having fun. And I stayed out until midnight, oooh. Had super weird dreams and kept waking up in the middle of the night though. I blame Captain Morgan.
Today I'm hanging out with my family at Lake Minnetonka, another beautiful day outside. I wish the weekend lasted longer.
