Lots to discuss in the last week!
First off, I went home to Philly last weekend to see my parents for a few days! It was a great weekend and an excellent break from the hustle and bustle of things around here! I flew into a "new" airport in Trenton which is closer to my parents house. I use the word new VERY loosely! This is actually a super old airport that looks like it was an old Airforce base or something. It made the airport from Wings look like O'Hare. But it was cheap and easy to get to, so that's all that matters to me!
My dad and I went to lunch and took this insanely scenic trip home. New Jersey is actually a beautiful state and I always love driving through it! After meeting up with my mom we went home, ordered pizza and just relaxed. Saturday morning my mom and I got up at at 'em! We headed out to King of Prussia mall to begin the daunting task of finding a mother of the bride dress. It was hard because everything looked so great on my mom! She ended up taking a few home to test out.
We then hurried home to meet my dad for dinner! We went to my favorite place in Doylestown and sat outside. While that sounds nice and relaxing it was literally torture. Even though it was warm all day, we assumed it would cool down at night and there might even be a nice breeze. WRONG!! It was so flipping hot and not a breeze rolled through. My mom and I, who have slightly abdnormal body temperatues (aka we are both constantly hot, and when I say hot I mean, sweating, about to pass out, hot. Also, we aren't dramatic at all about it.....), and we both wanted to die. It was so hot that I couldn't finish my dinner. I can count on my hand the number of times I wasn't able/willing to finish a dinner in my life, so it was a big deal.
Due to the heat, I think we both got a little too intoxicated (it was completely the heats fault) and my mom and I stayed up gabbing until about 3 am.
Sunday was my mom's birthday, so we both dragged ourselves out of bed, downed a bunch of water and went out to breakfast in a town near us called New Hope. It was nice relaxing morning and we strolled through the town and came across an Art Fair.
Once we wore ourselves out we headed home to hunker down on some wedding work! It's so nice to do wedding stuff together! A lot of things just don't translate over email or the phone.
That night we went to my fave Mexican place and called it an early night since I was flying out the next day.
I always have a great time when I visit my parents and can't wait for the next trip!
Beautiful flowers from my parents garden!
I came across this picture of me as a baby and it always makes me laugh because I was SO FAT and clearly just ate something, too. When I was home my dad said that jacket wasn't "flattering." That's it. It's definitely not me.
Proof that I was (and still am) OBSESSED with Back to the Future. I got this shirt at Universal Studios and wore it (in addition to a Jaws t-shirt that had bite makes on the side) pretty much every day. I even went as Doc Brown for Halloween. The shirt says "Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads." Heavy.
In other news, I got a new job! Though it may seem that I change jobs like I change my underwear, I'm hoping that this will be a good move for me and I will be with the new company for awhile! I start on June 24th and couldn't be more excited!!
