Weekend in Miami w/o John

Before I start talking about my amazing weekend, let me preface this by saying that of course I miss my husband and I wish he had been here to share my weekend!

With that said- this weekend (starting Thursday night) was awesome! (minus the fact that I woke up Saturday with a fever). Thursday night was Pearson's holiday dinner party (the other building I worked with all semester). It was potluck and PJs and it was just really nice to be able to hang out with all of them without worrying about work. One of the RAs is crazy and surprised us by being in a womans one piece swimsuit and some jammers-

I was EXHAUSTED after I left and did not want to work the next day- but I did. Friday night was Mahoney's staff dinner and we went out to a REALLY fancy restaurant. The food was AMAZING, pricey, but amazing. We did secret santa and the RA I had and I gave each other earrings. lol. I also had made her a bunch of candy and christmas ornaments and she gave me a cookbook. I pretty much adore this RA, so I was glad I had her. :D Since it was the last dinner my supervisor was going to have, it was sad for the staff. I have some real work to do next semester. I realized after they gave her this amazing poem that was framed that this is why I do this job. The way these RAs look up to her and the way she has touched their lives- this is why I do what I do. I can only hope that I get the same type of response when I leave this place too.

Anyway, so Saturday I woke up with a fever, but had to go to work to feed my RAs since the dining hall was closed. After that I headed home and took a nap and then watched Avatar. I really did NOT want to watch it, but John said I would like it and alas, he was right. lol It was great! My co-workers then convinced me to go out bowling with them and it was a lot of fun. We had to wait about 2 hours to bowl though. 2 hours!? for bowling?! crazy! we had a few drinks and appetizers and had a good time. Then, of course, I beat them all at bowling :D I won the first game and then by the second game I started to feel bad again and was playing awful. But thats okay- I still won the first! HAHA :D (if you dont know- i love bowling and am not that bad at it :D my dad and grandpa both bowled and so I think it's in my blood).

Sunday was the best of them all though! post to come:D
