Last Weekend...

This past Friday I am headed to Chapel and get a random text from my girlfriend Riane asking when I got done with classes. I only have my 8:00 so I was already done and was curious. I figured she just wanted to chill. WELL NO! haha. At chapel she asked me if I wanted to go home with her for the weekend, her and Madalyn were going to! haha! It sounded like SUCH a blast to me! I was worried about my parents and then dance rehersals. But I talked to my parents and it worked out great! SO....around 3:00pm on Friday we headed off to Austin. It was my second road trip with college friends, but it seemed like my first kind of because the other was just to my home...but Madalyn was with me. I was so excited! I'm not gonna lie I was pretty tired and slept some of the way there haha. But we also belted out singing and got hit on through windows by some of the cocky guys haha. Three gorgeous gals...they think they have a chance...haha. We got there safely. Her house was amazing! Her parents were SO nice and seemed REALLY fun! They foster...so they had a 3 1/2 month baby boy who's heritage is Zambia, Africa. He was SO adorable! They also had an exchange student from Austria. She was interesting haha. We unloaded our stuff and kind of settled in. Then her mom had cooked some pizza. It was REALLY good. Shortly after that we went out....we went to Wal-Mart to return some stuff for her mom and get this...get a at home perm kit for Madalyn. She wanted me to do it! haha We OF COURSE made a pit stop to sonic...its all we do haha. That night her parents went to their highschool football game. We just watched tv while I did Madalyn's hair, chilled, facebooked, nonsense. Then her parents got home. Her mom brought Tamere (the lil baby) up for us to watch for a bit. Riane shortly got tired and handed him off to me. By the end of the weekend they labeled me the baby expert haha. Madalyn DID hold him a LIL bit..but she is NOT a baby person. She says she never wants kids...I think it will change but NOT for a LONG time! haha I got him to calm down and even fall asleep. Her parents were estatic! He did eventually wake up when Riane took him down...but it was sweet to get to hold him. One of the biggest things I miss is babies and lil kids cause those ARE NOT common to my life anymore which is SOOOO sad!
Saturday we of course slept in haha. Madalyn's hair was definately crimped...but there was a slight mishap when we were mixing the product and some of the relaxer got in the perm creme...so it was NOT as affective as it should have been. We're going to do it again. Madalyn and I shared a bed...she makes fun of me and my lil monkey Cocoa I sleep with...BUT she got pretty close to him and me in bed! hahaa. We had some cereal even though it was close to lunch. Then we drove out to this Cross Country race that Riane's old team was in. She got to see some of her friends and stuff...it was neat. I could NEVER do that...one girl she knew literally collapsed at the finish line! It's crazy! But she got fourth heh. After that...Sonic haha. Then we went to Riane's and ate leftovers and it was yummy. We chilled for just a little bit before going to Lakeline Mall. It was fun, alot nicer than Abilene hahaha. We just rumeged through stores and what not. Afterwards we went back to Riane's. After a lil bit Madalyn's friend from home that was at school not too far off came and got her for dinner. Riane and I stayed home and had a homecooked meal of chicken pot pie...SOOOO GOOD! I loved it! Then we just relaxed with her family. Her parents are SO funny! Again, I got Tamire! Riane would hold him but didn't handle him getting upset well. I loved holding him for SO long! I got him to play and giggle and everything! We watched the Follies video with her parents, which was their first time to see it. That was interesting and embarassing all at once hahaha! I got to feed Tamire his bottle and then burped him and put him to sleep. I got to cuddle with him for SO long I loved it! Riane's mom like fell asleep in the chair, she's exhausted since she hasn't had a baby for 16 years and is not used to his sleeping patterns, so it was nice to give her a break.
(Ok I've realized my days are off and I'm not sure when we did what exactly but I know all of this happened, I'm just not sure WHAT night things happened haha..so this might be out of order.)
One night he was brought back upstairs to us while we were hanging out and Riane held him some. Then Madalyn toook a shot. I was working on my Thanksgiving cards and I saw him start to spit up...he does that ALOT more than most babies...I slowly moved over there and was like Madalyn don't freak out and I went to wipe him up...SHE FREAKED....she started shaking and said takehim I can't do this!!!! hahahahaha I loved it so much. So I had to hurry and get him before she died and cleaned him up haha. I also just got to hold him for a REALLY long time that night. Like hours haha. I put him asleep again, walked him downstairs, Riane's mom was out and her dad was like just go lay him down in the crib on his back haha. So I did! I loved it! He was so precious! The next morning her mom was SO thankful that she had gotten some sleep for the first time that weekend! haha, I felt good knowing they appreciated me hogging him vs. disliking me haha. At one point we found these OLD shirts of Riane's that were like hip when we were 11 or something...they are these crazy shirts that look like they'd fit a baby but stretch hard core...OMG they are rediculus! We all put them on with crazy hats and took pics..then of course WENT TO SONIC just like that haha..we got ALOT of looks haha. Saturday night we watched Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's childhood film How the West was Fun...CLASSIC! hahahah IT was SO crazy funny...TERRIBLE acting of course! haha I think they were like 10 haha. Riane fell asleep fast as she always does but Madalyn and I stayedup to watch the pitiful movie haha. Sunday we got a quick bite and then headed out after waking up. It took a while because Riane's dad was working on her car. I asked her if she wanted me to check her oil and she said no...but when she got home it was in bad condition!!! haha she should have let me haha. Anyway...the way back was good. I think in all we went tosonic like 100 times on the trip haha. Not really but ALOT. It was ALOT of fun. That night when I got back I had Swing Cats..I was exhausted but went haha. Had to for Ethnos practice. Anyway...that was my trip and it was a blast. Thought I would share!
