So I spent a quick weekend back home (Yes Iowa is still HOME in my ♥). It was great to see everyone! It really made me realize how much I miss having so many friends close by.
My weekend started out with an early morning trip to the airport thanks to my roommate Sam and her BF Fern. I few out of San Antonio at 6am, landed in DesMoines at 9:15am. Xavvov picked me up and gave me a lift back to Ames. He dropped me off at the salon to get my hair done then he went to class. I figured while I was in Ames I would go back to my regular salon since I was making such a big change to my hair. It by the way turned out horrible, I totally HATE it.
After my hair appointment Xavvov picked me up again and we had lunch from the Bali, OMG have I missed Indonesian food! It was amazing.
My good friends Lauren (whom I miss to pieces) then picked me up at 2:30pm for our epic night at the movies!! So let me give you a little back ground here. Since the second Twilight movie [New Moon] came out Lauren and I have gone to the midnight premier and in Ames they have done them marathon style so when we went to see New Moon first we saw Twilight at 9pm followed by the New Moon midnight premier! Lauren and I also went and saw all 3 in a row when Eclipse came out and now YES all 4 in a row. I was so excited!
The movies started at 4pm, we arrived at the theater at 2:45pm and we did not leave until a little after 2am. We each had large satchel purses with goodies, a blanket (you know how cold the theaters get) and a book to read in between the movies. Lauren packed all kids of snacks: Cheetos, M&M's, puppy chow even chips & queso. I got the drinks: water and Monster, Mike n Ikes and 2 foot long Subway sandwiches.
We had such a great time. There was a very nice couple a few rows ahead of us that we made friends with. The theater had grab bag give-a-ways and trivia games in between each movie. Needless to say it was a great night.
I spent the following afternoon and evening visiting with other friends and getting caught up on everyone lives. I miss having everyone so close, but it was good to see that most everyone still wanted to see me and catch up. There were a few people who i thought would come out that didn't but those who did more than made up for it. My last night in town we all went out to Old Chicago like old times and just spent the evening enjoying each others company. One of my friends Adriana told me that she misses these nights that since I left no one bothers to get everyone together any more. I made me feel good to know that my presence had been missed.
