Celebrations ahead

Tomorrow afternoon Kristian and I are cutting out of work early to head down to Raleigh NC for my MOH's graduation party Saturday night. After taking classes online for YEARS Krista finally earned her Master's degree and rented out a lounge for all her friends to come and celebrate with her. I can't wait since this will be the first time in close to a year that I will get to see some of my friends from college as well as the first time that a few of them will get to meet my super cute fiance. I'm also hoping that we'll be able to meet up with another one of my non-sorority college friends for lunch on Saturday whom I haven't seen in years! She's only about 5 hours away but it's amazing how life just creeps up on you and time flies by. I'm sure the trip will be full of drinking and inappropriate jokes/stories. I can't wait!

On Sunday the plan is to leave Raleigh as early as our hangovers will allow and head back up to VA to stay at his parents beach house...ALONE...for two days. This is a big deal since they've never let K stay there alone in the past. I guess since we housesat all last week without burning the place down or killing the dogs they figure they can trust us with the beach house for two days :) We are taking off work Monday and Tuesday so that we can stay there and celebrate our anniversary which is Monday! The initial plan was to go to the Outerbanks for those two days but after looking at our pathetic bank balances we decided to save the money and take advantage of the free place to stay.

We plan to spend those two days being completely lazy and just enjoying each other's company. I'm sure there will be fishing involved, drinking to be done and some other activities that shall remain private ;-) I'm so excited to spend this weekend with some of my most favorite people! And a special shout-out to Kristen who unfortunately can't make it to the festivities but I'm sure will be drinking in spirit with us as she finishes painting/unpacking her new house.
