Weekend of Friends

Lift Bridge

So last weekend I had my very good friends Sarah and Bethany come up to Duluth to visit me. Now I am a little late with this blog because this past weekend I was so busy, so here it is!

They came up early on Friday and we had no definite plan of what to do, but knowing us, that wasn't a problem. Bethany loves to decorate, and she's really good at it. So I didn't hang any pictures in my apartment because I was waiting for her to come and help me figure the layout and where things should go. Well it turned into let's rearrange the entire apartment and buy new furniture and all that good stuff. So after an excellent lunch at Grandma's, we spent the rest of the afternoon shopping and then all of Friday night, until 11 decorating and rearranging my stuff.

They did a great job, the place looks a ton better, but i was not envisioning it taking all day, $150, and me being shunning to my room to do work while they surprise me with a new living room layout!

Saturday we went downtown Duluth and down Canal Park to do some shopping, sight seeing and exploring. It was so fun to be able to explore Duluth with great friends and even run into a coworker from Roseville!

After a great weekend, I was surprised with a very busy week of work, I am fully into my job now, I think I am at week 7 of my new job, and I am feeling the weight. I have a lot more responsibility and am doing more lesson planning (which I am loving both! I love to stay busy!)

I am missing home less, even though I really miss my old job and coworkers, talking to them via text or facebook just reminds me how much fun we had on the stage (our office), and talking to some of my old students on facebook also remind me of how much fun I had teaching them last year and how they are a year older now!

I leave you, hoping to update again this next weekend, maybe with some pictures of the Downtown Duluth parade that I am going to watch on TV with great coworkers, while we make fun of it in our cozy warm living room!
