Now that I have weekends off, i've been able to do a lot more out here and it's made being away from home easier since i have something to look forward to during the week. A couple weeks ago i took a trip to Long Island with my friend Krista who use to nanny there. We went to the singles ward there and i met some new friends (and ran into an old childhood friends older brother, small world). The drive there wasn't bad at all, but on the way back we missed a turn and ended up sitting in Manhattan traffic for almost two hours!! It was quite the adventure though!
The next weekend Brock (who i met at the singles ward) and his friend Brad from school came to Jersey to visit for the weekend. The plan was to spend the day at the beach, but of course as soon as we got there it got colder..so we went back to the hotel and went swimming, then went out to eat, then played some football in the parking lot! It was a lot more fun than it sounds haha. Later that night at around 1 am i got a craving for some icecream! None of the girls wanted to go so i went over to the boys' room and Brock was nice enough to take me to get some. Of course and 1am nothing is really open, but luckily Walgreens had a good stock and even had mine and Brocks favorite, cookie dough! It was sooo good! :)
The weekend after that I hung out with Brock again. He took me to a Newark Bears game, which of course was the key to my heart since I LOVE baseball! The lead singer from Lonestar star sang the national anthem, and the crazy lady in front made it very entertaining! She would stand up and say, "Everybody hits" then the whole crowd yelled WHOOO! haha!
After the game we went and saw the movie Fighting, and X-Men. Yes, two action movies with a lot of fights (hence the title). The Fighting movie wasn't bad, but I loved X-Men! Now i just need to watch the rest of the X-Men movies..I'll add them to the list of movies Ian (my employer) wants me to watch :)
