The Weekend That Was

Note: This was refering to Thanksgiving weekend...a little delayed I know...

"I don't want my love to go to waste, I just want you and your beautiful soul."

This weekend was unique. I think that's the best way to describe it. There weren't any earth/relationship shattering events, but nothing of exceptional positive significance either.

Wednesday: I left Davis on a shuttle and wrote. It was awesome. The thanksgiving thoughts from the previous entry were written on that ride. I sat in front of a girl and the conversation she had was really interesting. She was describing a problem she was having in the dorms: her roommates talked to her about cleaning up her dishes in the sink. She was so distraught that they would have the gaul to ask her that request. I found it really amusing.
I got to the airport and realized that I had just about 3 and a half hours until my flight left. I also noticed that three flights were leaving before mine. So I requested to be put on the stand-by list for one of the earlier flights. Not only did I get on the earlier flight, I was in group A, and the flight was more than half empty. Crazy. I guess Southwest had too many flights to San Diego or something. Either way, I got home earlier than I thought I would. I got home and spent some good time with my parents.
Thursday: Early in the morning, my dad and I got up and went to Seaport Village for a 5k walk/run for Jewish Family Service. While it was nice to spend time with my dad, I think the best part was hearing the live bands along the way. There were some blues and rock groups, there was a DJ along the way, and two Blues Brothers and an Austin Powers impersonator. The walk went around about 15 blocks downtown. I was able to see the area in a way I hadn't seen before: slowly. Usually, I am driving through the area, but it was really interesting to see downtown up close and personal.
After the walk, we went to Jamba juice, went home, and got the house ready for Thanksgiving dinner. Before dinner, there was an incredible sunset. When I saw it, I remembered how beautiful the sunsets are in California and San Diego. I'll let the picture speak for itself.
Friday: After some much needed sleep, my parents and I went out to get some clothes. For those who know me well, you know that I don't get new clothes very often. So this was a significant occasion. We went to Old Navy and I got...well, your probably don't care.
Friday evening was a lot of fun. I went to Sarah's and random people showed up, and most seemed to be in pairs. Catherine and Kevin, Taryn and Amy were there for about 5 minutes because Taryn thought that we thought something about her. I didn't really understand. Alexa and Jordyn, Ben Lieberman and Mike Feldman, Dusty and Joanna, Yve, Seth, Sarah, and her Brother Ben. It was really nice to see everyone, especially Dusty. I hadn't seen her since February and I realized that this was the first time we'd seen each other where we didn't hook up, and it also wasn't incredibly awkward. After some good times, I went home content from a really fun evening. There was no drama, just good fun.
