Pennsylvania Trip

The very first night I arrived, Arin got off of work, and we went to one of her favourite diners! We got yummy diner hamburgs and peanut butter pie for dessert. It was absolutely delicious.

I was so glad that Arin was able to take time away from her busy schedule to be able to spend time with me. She had to work one of the days that I was there, but we had a blast on the other days! She actually took me to a swing-dancing club that she and her froends go to often. I felt sorry for the poor men who asked me to dace - I've danced, ballet, jazz, modern, tap, broadway, and even some latin, but I've NEVER done any swing. I warned them as we went out on the dance floor, but they were gentlemen and danced very kindly, not commenting when I stepped on their toes.

Doesn't Arin look cute with the baby guitar?

I came out Monday morning to see kitty paw prints going up the front of my car! (Ok, it's Mom and Dad's car, but *I* drove it!) Nero the cat had been climbing.

This picture was taking about 2 in the morning. I think that is all the explanation needed.

Ditto.

The morning I left. Arin headed off to school, and I finished packing up.

Of course, before I left, I had a certain someone I needed to play with.

The way home was awful. Not only did I take the way with the most traffic (But Moooom, I knew how to get home that way!!) But then, when I stopped at a CVS to stretch my legs, I managed to lock the keys in the car. So I got to know CVS pretty well in the hour that I spent there, and then another 15 minutes of the handyman attempting to break into the car. Good news is, if it takes HIM that long, I don't think anyone else will want to attempt it.

I'm home now, with two more days of break left. I'm going to Chick-fil-a for a job interview. I'm praying that it's the right job for me, because I've been searching for the past 5 months and nothing has turned up yet. I know a few people who work here; they are all lovely, and put in a good work for me. The staff seems nice, it's a clean place, and they're closed on Sundays, which is good since I can't work weekends anyway. (one of the reasons other things have fallen through) We'll see what happens!

I hope you all are having lovely weeks, and that you liked my pictures. I know I haven't updated in a while, but that's apparently what happens when one is in their last, busy, trying-to-figure-out-the-future semester!

Love, Sarah

Adventures over Winter Break

So as you all know, I've been traveling for the past month. I had some lovely adventures with my best friends, and I documented it all for you.This is my lovely best friend Arin - isn't she adorable? I spent Christmas at her house in Pennsylvania, and then took a bus up to Connecticut. I loved staying with her... I can't say the same for taking the bus .

This is Emily. I stayed with her for the first week that I was out there and New Years. I had lots'n lots of fun with her. You should see the height difference between us (somehow there aren't any pictures of the two of us) I think it's about 6 inches?
This is Aaron and myself - and yes, he is my boyfriend. It's official. So y'all can stop speculating now. We're both tall, have red hair, and love cats.
I stayed with Sarah during the second week. When I was with her, we went to a friends house and got a hot wax treatment on our hands, which is why we have huge blue mittens on in this picture. I loved it - Sarah didn't like how the wax felt all slimy. Oh well - to each his own.
I was with Spencer during the second weekend. He and his girlfriend Cayla and I all made cream puffs one day, and they turned out quite deliciously.This is Cayla. She likes sugar, can you tell?
I even got a little messy... which is usually unheard of! Spencer had to rush to take this picture.
This is Kim, and I was with her for the third week. We had lots of fun watching movies late into the night, going on cannoli runs, and taking care of the synagogue's cafe for a day.I love this picture that Kim got of me, and the walls reflecting onto the counter at the cafe!The last day I was there, the theater group of which Spencer, Sarah and Aaron are all a part, had their annual winter cabaret. Spencer was in it as a performer, and he sang Singin' in the Rain WITH an umbrella and everything! It was rather spectacular. Cayla was there too - she sat next to me because.....Aaron had to do the sound backstge. =)

So there you have the outline of my trip. I'll most definitely post some more pictures, so keep on the lookout!
