Easter Weekend in SC!

As you probably know, especially if you follow me on Twitter, I got to go home last weekend for Easter! It was wonderful. Here is the wrap up from the couple of days I was there. I was really terrible about taking pictures and I am so mad about it!

Thursday:

SLEPT IN! Lunch at home (so happy), fishing in the afternoon with Tyler, my grandfather (Pop Pop) and his cousin who is also in his 80s (Cousin Bob). Thursday night we went to dinner with my highschool/Tyler's college friends who met us for Mexican. It was fun and SO good to see friends!

Fishing pics:

Pop's turtle he caught

At least he caught something!

This was hysterical. Fishing with 2 old men!

Caught in the action

Cousin Bob got one!

My Fish!

Friday: We had leftovers at the house for lunch and I slept in (duh). Oh, Tyler hunted the whole time we were there. He and my dad went every morning, but no turkey was killed. He went hunting with a family friend that afternoon and my mom and I went to the Charleston outlets. YES!

I can't find some of the things I bought, but I got a pair of high waisted skinny jeans from JCrew and I am so obsessed with them. They fit me better than any jeans ever before AND I don't have the issue of them being too low and when I bend down you see my tush! Score. And they were super on sale. They are similar to these:

I also scored some really cute sandals from Nine West outlet that'll have to get a picture of. I really do love them. I also got a dress for Mary's wedding next weekend (whoo hooo!!). Pictures to come.

For dinner my parents cooked and we hung out.

Saturday: I slept in (hehe duh) and Mom got us Duke's BBQ! So good. Then we went fishing AGAIN! This was such an adventure. During the middle of our fishing trip, we heard a turkey, so Tyler hopped out of the boat to go to the house to get camo and his gun. I called the turkey in while he was gone (geez I am so talented) and then when he got back, he and my brother went hunting for the turkey and I stayed in the boat, drank beer, and fished by myself and caught a bass!

Yes, I did take a self pic!

Saturday night Tyler and I went to my best friend Rebecca (you know, the one who had the beautiful wedding on NYE) and Tripp's house for dinner! We had a great meal and played Michael Jackson Just Dance! So fun! No pictures though :(

Sunday: We went to my church- a small Methodist church at 9 and then my grandfather's church- a bigger Presbyterian church for Easter. I love my grandfather's church! It's beautiful!

We had Easter lunch at my grandparents- a full meal! Her famous mac and cheese, butter beans, brown rice, apple casserole, corn pie, country ham, pork loin, apple salad, jello salad, rolls, etc. And ICE CREAM for dessert (plus caramel cake, raspberry tart, and another dish) - yay for Lent being over.

I was very sad to leave home but had a good weekend. It was too short and we are already planning our next trip home. Thanks for hanging in there through my weekend!

Today was... CRAZY!

So, I get to go home TOMORROW to South Carolina for Easter and I am WAYYYY excited (can you tell!) Tyler left on Sunday because he has more time off than I do, so he has been chilling with my parents and hunting with our friend Matthew. I am so ready to go home and have a break! Not fair he is at MY house right now. Ugh.

While Tyler has been gone, I've been keeping his lab, Sarge, at my apartment. My roommate Audrey has a dachshund who totally rules our apartment so I wasn't sure how Mr. Sargie was going to do with another pup. Sarge is super spoiled by the way.

ANYWAYS, Audrey was sweet enough to let him out to potty when she got home from school today and alas, HE WAS ON MY NICE WHITE COMFORTER! (Yes all caps are necessary). Sarge is NOT allowed on the furniture and knows that. He is very very good and very obedient (he's very hunting trained and is awesome at commands). She texted me and said "Let Sarge out and gave him a rope toy, he's in heaven. FYI He was on the middle of your bed when I opened your door."

w.t.f

Remember: this is what my bed looks like so nice and neat:

This little booger was on my bed!!! Picture it! AHHHH!!

see my WHITE sheets!!!!!

I'm FURIOUS but at the same time I had to die laughing. He is such a punk!

So, I get in my car to go to the hardware store to get a lint roller/pet roller/whatever and to run my car through the car wash again.

then i locked my keys in my car

And the guy next to me goes, "oh that sucks." Well, MISTER, um I need to get back home. I need to get the dog fur to stick to my duct tape (they didn't have a roller) and I am frantic in the hardware store.

i asked this sweet boy in the parking lot to take me home

I'm sure you're rolling your eyes thinking all the crazy fonts aren't necessary, but they ARE!!! The sweet boy took me home and Audrey took me back to get my car. Thank goodness for spare keys and that they aren't in SC. I wish I could tell you this story in person. It's better than this I promise.

I still have to pack, it's like 7:15 and I have an interview with a candidate aka a girl on my volleyball team at 8:30 and it takes 35 minutes to get there AND then I have a volleyball game at 9:15. No issues with all of this but then.....

our game didn't start until after 10 pm

BUT WE WON OUR GAME (we lose terribly everytime)

Ok, that's enough. That was my day.

I go home tomorrow. I need to get up early. I still have all kinds of emotions (hate for Sarge but not really, exhaustion, excitement from the game and to go home).

So, I'm going to bed. Thanks for making it through my saga if you did. It really was more dramatic than I am portraying it.

Seriously, thanks for reading!
