Weekend Update.

Hello!
It's that time again for another weekend update! So this weekend I attended a going away party for one of Liz's friends. It was great mainly because the margaritas were five dollars and I got a free one. Plus, the bartender was extra cute!
Of course this place we were at was super sketchy, due to the fact that it was conjoined with a Beggers Pizza and everyone in there were around my aunts and uncles ages. And they all looked like less successful verisons of my aunts and uncles. But, despite these facts I believe a good time by all was had.
Saturday I finally got a chance to see some people that I haven't yet. I got a chance to hang out with Aquillia, we hung out in her apartment, which is fantastic by the by, and then we made our way over to Tracey's birthday party.
Aquillia unfortunately forgot her i.d. so I had to brave the bar all by my lonesome. Little known fact about me since leaving Americorps, I don't enjoy doing things by myself. When you have lived for ten months with people around you constantly it's hard to adjust to being by yourself. But, despite a minute or two of awkwardly searching I found Tracey and company and had myself a wonderful time! L.C. was here from New York and that was a really wonderful surprise. I got to chat with her a little and catch up. She is thinking about moving here after her time is up in New York, so I'm going to hold her to that!
And now we have reached Sunday where I once again failed to go to church, since the trains decided to take all day, but I did get to go to Market Days, which is apparently the biggest festival in the Midwest, with Lezlee and I got to met up with Case! He's been in Korea for the past year so it was beyond amazing to see him and hang out for a little while.
Then it was on to family dinner at the house of a church friend of the family's and that was super nice. I felt like a grown up as I sipped on my Sangria and sampled various cheeses. I ate entirely too much, as is the Americorps way.
After family dinner was done I left my phone on the table and was watching football with my sisters for a couple of hours. When I got up to retrieve my phone I had seven messages to look at and that is when I found out that EM.FRIEND AND GARY ARE GETTING MARRIED! That has such a nice ring to it doesn't it? So, after I had congratulated her for twenty minutes I naturally called Shan, and now we are planning a wedding! Ok, I may be exaggerating, but I did say that if she needed help with anything don't hesitate to let me know. I can't wait to update you this upcoming year on everything, all the way to the festivities!
I think it's safe to say that this is the best weekend of summer 2013, because nothing will top it. I got a chance to see people I haven't in years and of course the engagement announcement! Can't wait to see what next weekend brings.
love,

Sorry that this is such a long post with no pictures. Naturally I didn't bring my camera anywhere this weekend.
