vaca update.

im back im back im bacckkkkkkk! LOL. well i been back but i finally decided to post. the trip was much needed and exceeded my expectations. the drive was more than entertaining because our family finds humor in anything! we actually listened to the conservative radio show talking about gay marriage. It was so interesting how they disagreed with giving gays the right to marry like President Obama but not once did they say they agreed with him...and they call themselves Christians.

Anywho, we got to Philly later than expected so we couldnt explore and get cheesesteaks. I was a tad bit disappointed. There is nothing like an authentic philly steak...it is so delicious! The wedding was BEAUTIFUL! So nice to see a young couple genuinely in love! It made me fall in love with weddings all over again. I need my friends to start getting married! LOL. Here I am with my bros [yes i am the shortest].

We then made a surprise visit to NY for my cousin's bbq bashment! Apparently its the talk of the town cuz there were so many ppl there including my fam! it was like a mini fam reunion. Ppl i havent seen in years and ppl I have never met. There were even talks of a potential family reunion which I got really excited about because neither side of my families have had an official family reunion so just the talk of it allowed my mind to wander on the ways I can help plan.

As my family headed back home, I ventured upstate to see the BF! As the bus pulled into the lot, my heart started beating all fast and I got little butterflies. He was there waiting on me with umbrella in hand cuz I told him I couldnt get my hair wet. LOL. Hes so great! The week was fabulous. Movies, dinner, lots of hugging and forehead kisses [MY ABSOLUTE FAV!], bbqs, CcD, SPADES! Sunday came and I was not a happy camper. I was flying standby and that could be a post within itself but to keep it short, all the flights were full and I couldnt leave that day. So we actually got to visit a mutual friend, khaly, and my bff was staying there so it was double the treat. me and bff greeted each other like we hadnt seen each other in years haha. the BF even said that he didnt receive a greeting like that. lol. so i stayed at khaly's house to prevent the BF from driving so much. it was a sad day in NY state cuz my next time seeing him is TBA! sigh.

Visiting my loves made me realize how much I love my school. my qualms with the institution and its policies are often overruled by the friendships and relationships i have formed there. my inner circle with the exception of a couple all have ties to RPI. i wouldnt change it for the world. i truly have formed some great bonds with some great people. So i gotta try my darnest to make it for alumni weekend...i feel like its gonna be EPIC!

vaca update complete...now back to my regularly scheduled program.
