It has been forever since I blogged. I am sorry my awesome followers :D. Things have just been really busy and when I get home I dont feel like being on the computer anymore. That and my Mac is slowly falling apart and the "e" and "r" dont work anymore :( time to save for a new compy!
ANYWAY! As you know John and I went home to Raleigh on Oct 6th. Our trip was AMAZING! I couldnt have asked for a better trip. I'll start with Wednesday and work my way through our visit.
On Wednesday John and I flew home around 4:30. We were super excited because we were going to have first class seats and already printed our ticket off and everything and when we got to the gate we got bumped. :( The seats are WAY smaller in coach. lol I feel spoiled for even saying that, but it's nice to have an aunt that works for an airline and can upgrade you when there is room! :D We got to Raleigh around 6:30 and Johns mom picked us up from the airport. We headed to their house and celebrated my birthday with them that night :D John's dad made my FAVORITE dish :D Eggplant Parmesan :D and I did get seconds :D There was also yummy cake to go with it. It was really nice catching up with them that evening and just being with family! We spent the night and our plan was to spend my actual birthday with my family.
On Thursday morning John and I got up around 11:30 because we had to run some errands. We ate Chick-fil-a for lunch. YAY! We have one in Miami but it sucks- so I was thrilled! We ate outside because it was so nice. Then we went shopping and met my brother and did some more shopping. We also made our way over to NC State to see the campus and visit my old boss and go to the bookstore. Hillsborough Street looked SO good! It was also really nice to catch up with Jennie and Aris. Working here is very different from there, but they taught me a lot and are great people :D After visiting we went shopping some more! I really wanted some cowboy boots, so guess what we went shopping for. lol. I found some at Rack Room shoes and of course it was buy a pair get a pair half off so I got some hot pink heels to go with it. I WAS SO EXCITED! :D Shopping was a lot of fun- I dont really ever go shopping a lot but it was such a pretty day and it was my birthday so it was super fun :D Then we headed to my house and opened presents and had PUMPKIN PIE! that was my request for my birthday instead of cake :D It was SO good! We also had Smithfields Chicken and BBQ for dinner- YUM. I miss all our favorite food places from home! Needless to say we pigged out and I may have gained back all the weight I lost :(. oh well.
My cowboy boots!! :D

Anyway, that night we hung out with my family and it was really nice to spend time with them. :D My sister got a cat. His name is knarf (my dad's name backwards). He is precious and a spaz and has 6 toes on his front paws. lol. He meows SO loud too! but really cute. It sucked because John and I are allergic to him slightly :(. That night we went out and met our best friends at one of my favorite places. I was SO excited because they were driving in that night and we got to hang out with them. I talked to Krystal for hours! It was a great time :D GREAT BIRTHDAY!!! one of the best yet I must say!
Friday morning we slept in and then got up and went to help out a friend pick out an engagement ring! SO excited :D then we ate and early dinner at Sushi Thai (cheap but delicious sushi! i miss that place bc sushi is so expensive here!) We went with Brad, AJ, and Kristen. It was a lot of fun. Then we all headed over to Chris's place as all our friends were getting together like old times to hang out. It was great! We meant to go to bed early, because we were getting up early to tailgate, but of course that didnt happen! We were having too much fun :D
Saturday morning we got up at 5:30am (yikes!) and got ready and headed out to the fair grounds to tailgate. It was SO nice being there in the NC State game day atmosphere again! I miss it tremendously. After tailgating we went and got ready for John's cousins wedding. The wedding was beautiful and it was SO great to get to spend time with John's extended family! After the wedding we all went to John's parents house and hung out watched football. It was great :D
Breakfast of champions! I <3>.JPG)
Oh it's nice to be in Raleigh. lol Tailgating EARLY! :D
My best friend! :D LOVE THIS GIRL!
The Bride and Groom! :D CONGRATS SARAH AND BOBBY!
Sunday we got up and went to church. It was great seeing everyone at Asbury! I miss all those faces! Then we got lunch at O'Charley's with Johns family and Thomas, Kaity, and Rick! Then we spent the rest of Sunday at my parents house hanging with my family. It was nice and relaxing :D
The next day the flight I was on was full so I had to wait for later flight at 7pm so we went to John's parents house and just sat on their back porch and talked. It was incredibly peaceful. I love spending time out there :D
The deer in John's parents backyard :D

Overall, it was an AMAZING trip and now I miss home thinking about it. haha.
