My extended weekend

It started with a very boring Friday night, started with grocery shopping and I'm sure included some NBA games and One Tree Hill, I purposely stayed up late so I would sleep in a little because I knew I had no plans for Saturday. On Saturday morning I got a message from my cousin (if you read this, again THANK YOU SO MUCH) asking if I wanted some stand-by passes that were soon going to expire. It's funny I was originally going to go down to Arizona this weekend, but backed out after I found out about going to New York. After going back and forth about what weekend I should come, I thought well what if I came this weekend. After looking at flights, it looked like I could get on one around 5:00 that night, so that's what I did. I quickly did some laundry, took Mr. Baxter to my parents and was on my way. It was such a fun quick get away. I've always wanted to do a spontaneous trip like that and thought it was perfect for the little slump I was in. It was great to see family, eat amazing oranges and constantly smell the orange blossoms and on Monday Mallory and I got pedicures and went to lunch at an outdoor patio place in short sleeves and flip-flops. We even had a bonfire on Saturday and went for a walk around the lake Sunday. It sure made it hard coming home to snow and 20 degree weather. It was such a fun weekend, I'm now feeling refreshed and got a little bit of sun which never hurts. Thank you everyone who made it possible!
