feeling splendid

Last weekend was an absolute blast. I took about 100 pics while i was there, most of them being at Skybox, but I am completely ok with that. I just love that place and it was so nice to be back, even for just a bit. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing my favorite regulars...especially the Pecks. I'm so glad David "kicked cancer's ass" as he so happily exclaimed.

I considered going down again this weekend with Josh and Jenni for Josh's lil sis's 21st, but I decided to just stay at home and relax. It would be fun to do St. Patty's down in Springfield again. God knows last year was a good time...at least for Josh and I. Irish car bombs anyone? But I think I can use a weekend of nothingness....just me and Gus.

Home life has been good lately...I have been enjoying hanging out with my high school friends and meeting a few new people along the way :) Although nothing will ever replace Skybox, Monkey Bar and OTP are working their way into my heart :)

T minus 5 and counting

As much as I am lovin being in St. Louie, I am so ready to visit Springfield. It could be that I miss my Katie and my Hannah so much...it's hard to be away from my two very best friends in the world. It could be that I spent 6 wonderful years of my life there and I created so many memories I will cherish the rest of my life. It could be that I miss the bar "where everybody knows your name" and I just need some more Skybox in my life. I know that it is a combination of all of the above, and I cannot wait to spend a good few days in the wonderful world of Springvegas/Springpatch/Springtucky as we have come to call it.

For the past weeks the excitement has started to overcome me. I am almost elated. I have been doing a countdown since it was 10 days away (I felt that it was a little much to start counting down at day 23...haha) I even wanted to start packing a few days ago...then realized I was a little out of my mind and decided to be normal and do it the day before. But I am already in planning mode. I even went to the mall today to buy new clothes like you would if you were going on vacation. I'm hoping it will be my last trip to the mall before I go, but I have a feeling I may just need another thing or two :)

Oh, and if it wasn't already confirmed that Katie and I are two freaking peas in a pod.....well, I had gone to the mall the other day (go figure) and Anne Taylor Loft was having a sale, so of course my feet happened to lead me through the doors and took me to the 75% off sale rack (at least I know how to bargain shop) where I found a cute lil black top among other things. On my way out of the mall, I got a call from Katie...and what do you know...she was on her way to the mall herself. So, I told her to go to Anne Taylor Loft cause of the sale (good friends always pass on news of a good sale). This brings me to today when I got a call from Katie while I was at the mall of course. I told her I was out looking for clothes for my Springfield trip...she laughed...and then told me how excited she was to show me the cutest black top she picked up at Anne Taylor Loft when she was there that day. As she described it to me i just lost it. I was laughing so hard in the middle of H&M cause WE BOUGHT THE SAME FREAKING SHIRT!!! Meant to be....that is all I can say :)

So in a nutshell, I am ready for a reunion. I can't wait to see KiKi and Banana (oh, and Tom Tom) and hopefully I will be able to see some of my other friends while I'm there. My camera is charged and ready to capture the excitement that next weekend will be. See you on Thursday!!!!
