Celebrate LONG Weekends!! YAY!!

Happy Memorial Day!!
It's been a great weekend. I had Friday and today off. Sam and I went to a little lake on Friday and had a picnic lunch. It was very nice but I got a little sunburned on my shoulders. Saturday we had some friends from Sam's cohort over - Daniel & Jenny and Sean & LeAnn. It was a lot of fun. We had pizza and Sam made a delicious 2 layer black forest cake. We played a couple rounds of hand and foot and then played guitar hero.

Yesterday we had church in the morning and then we went to a random Chinese restaurant for lunch - Wok & Roll. It turned out to be authentic Hong Kong dim sum. It was definitely a cultural experience. People would come by with rolling carts full of dishes and you just pick what you want. And they served us hot tea with the meal. It really reminded me of my trips to China and Hong Kong. We had no idea how much anything cost until we were ready to pay the check. Thankfully we only spent about $20. Then for dinner Sunday we went over to Hannah & Peter's so they could help us finish the black forest cake. Hannah made Shepherd's Pie with chicken. It was very tasty. She put a lot of veggies in it like corn, green beans, carrots, and spinach. We hung out with them until about 12:30! It's been a long time since I stayed up that late with friends - I'm getting kind of old. We played some games and watched a movie. Hannah and I played mastermind while Sam and Peter played chess.

Today I'm going to try to get some schoolwork done and then tonight we're getting free food from Noodles & Company. Hannah won a tasting part for a group of 6. I guess we will get to try a lot of their different dishes. It should be a enjoyable experience.

Other news:
I think I did well on my BCaBA exam. I'll find out how I did in a couple of months. They're really slow processing everything.

I got my new contract for the next year at Chicago Education Project. I'm getting a raise and they will be paying 100% for my health insurance! Also, I will be getting twice as many personal days. I'm pretty excited.

I've started my first summer class. My second class starts next Monday. Hopefully it won't get too stressful taking 2 courses and working full time. We'll see how I do.

Two weeks and two days until I fly to Texas for a visit. I'm really looking forward to it. I'll be landing at DFW at 11:35am Wednesday morning. Can't wait!
