Post-Trip to Moorhead Blog

In case you didn't know, this past Friday I drove up to Moorhead to visit Shane and those that are there for a quick release from my Nebraska life.

After working a 4-Midnight shift on Thursday, I let myself sleep in and didn't get on the road until a little after 10. Shane worked all day Friday so I thought it would just make sense to spend most of the day driving rather than getting there ridiculously early. I got to campus right around 4:30 (would have been there sooner but was delayed because of heavy road construction) and after some quick unpacking and relaxing met up with others for some p90x action. Following working out we got some dinner quick and then headed off to Bruno's for a bonfire and then hit up Hornbachers for some necessary supplies.

Saturday, slept in until 9:30!!! Woohoo! This somewhat unimportant event to most is monumental to me as usually "sleeping in" means getting up at 7 instead of 5:30. So it was certainly nice to get some sleep. After a quick breakfast we did some Ab ripper X, got lunch, and then headed to downtown Fargo and checked out a local car show and then a street fair. The weather was warm, but it was really nice considering that there wasn't any humidity. After the street fair we headed back to Shane's apartment, grabbed dinner at Panchero's and then met up with Jared at the Safari for "Get Him to the Greek". Although I hadn't seen "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", I needlessly had low expectations for the movie but was pleasantly surprised. Finally to round out the crazy busy day we met up with people at Sarah's apartment and played ridiculous games. Shane spelled Popsicle "popsickel"... needless to say he will never live it down.

Sunday, went to Church, relaxed most of the afternoon while Shane did room checks, walked around downtown Moorhead and then I grabbed dinner with Abby at Juano's before meeting back up with Shane and the Summer Programs staff at Reagan's beautiful townhouse for some Quelf! Ended the epic evening with some more P90X.


Needless to say I am probably leaving out a lot. It was a fabulous weekend and a great escape from the misery which is my home Lifetime movie homelife.

Whilst getting dinner with Abby at Juano's we decided that at the end of the summer I'm going to be writing a series of short stories and compiling them under the name "Exhiled: Learning to Live with Loss"... it's gonna be great!


Upcoming great events: this week Ryan, Grant, and Rachel are coming down for my 21st on Friday, the week after I'm headed to Colorado, and then it's my last week home!!!

Wow, summer has just flown by!
