Birthday Weekend!!
Hi!! WOW!! What a crazy weekend! Chrissy and I made it back to Rochester in one piece on Saturday night! We had a really nice time in Ohio. As you can see, we made it there and had some fun on Thursday night just catching up. Friday we spent most of the day just vegging at Daniel and Gary's apartment. We watched TV, went to lunch, and I even took a mini-nap right before my Uncle's Graduation party. We went to the family/friends get together at my aunt and uncles house for a few hours that evening. At the instistance of my grandparents, Chrissy, Daniel, Gary and I took off around 10PM and headed to downtown Columbus for a night of drinking on the town.
We first started at the Burgandy room where we polished of two bottles of really nice red spanish wine (in honor of Tatiana, Gary's wife, who is in Spain right now.)
The Cousins:
Afterwards, we went down the road a bit to another bar where we had the most AMAZING nachos and spinich and artichoke dip...oh yeah, and some mixed drinks...I ended the night with an apple-tini. Surprisingly, I could still walk (barely)...we headed back to their place around 2AM. The next morning was PURE torture trying to wake up early for the graduation. We of course were 30 minutes late leaving Columbus for the 2 hour drive to Marietta (in southern ohio). After the ceremony, Chrissy and I drove back, following my dad and georgia in another car. The ride was LONG. We spent most of Saturday driving. Chrissy and I tried to make it the best it could possibly be. We talked...we sang...we complained...we had dance party to Madonna somewhere between pittsburg and Erie.
At about Fredonia, we were both completely exhausted and irratated. Shortly thereafter, we realized that we were annoyed with the music. We ended up turning it off after Fredonia, and things went much smoother. We pulled into my apartment in Henrietta at midnight. Seymen wasn't home yet, but he left my b-day present on the bed (see pictures). He also left his arts and craft project on the kitchen counter, and evidance of his clean up efforts on the dish soap :-) (See the pictures...notice the pink finger prints on the soap) hehehe. Here's the pictures (Ohh, and they start from my apartment, and having my grandparents and dad ad Georgia over for dinner before the Ohio trip)
Sunday, on my day of rest!! Seymen planned a semi-surprise birthday party at our apartment for me! It was really nice! Unfortunately, he had to tell me earlier in the day because I was making plans to work all day...but instead, I decided to forget about working on the weekend for once, and help him cook for my party :-) We cooked and cleaned and had TONS of friends over...Our poor little apartmet could have popped with all the people, food, and furniture we have :-)
The Asians:
It was really fun though, and I was able to ignore my friends long enough to watch the Season Finale of Desperate Housewives! (SOOOOOOOOO goooooooood! Crazy, but GOOOOOOOOOOOOD). Here's pictures from the night of festivities.
