a weekend of free

this past weekend, i made the trip home to visit the family as well as go to a doc's appt and visit jerry for a much needed haircut. on this rare occasion, i had a friend from school to ride home with me! while it meant that i wasn't able to blast my ipod, i enjoyed the conversation. being a typical boy, he requested stopping for fast food about halfway home. since he was the only one eating, he decided to pick cookout in thomasville, nc. however, once we exited the highway, we were overcome with a pleathera of fast food restaurants. of course, he quickly changed his mind and wanted bojangles. as we got out of the car, we never imagined the scene that would unfold as we walked in the restaurant. as i opened the door, we could hear very loud music coming from what we thought were the overhead speakers. WRONG. THERE WAS A LIVE CONCERT IN THE MIDDLE OF BOJANGLES! crazy! thankfully, j took a pic and i am now able to share it with everyone! while it is kinda hard to see the man, he is in the center back with a sweet vest on rocking out to country music. it was kind of like a karaoke set-up with the laptop and huge speakers, except for the fact that the man didn't need the words to be displayed in front of him because he knew them all. i am so glad i was able to experience that!

since that was the start of my weekend, it could only get better from there! thursday was pretty chill with momma since it is "on your own" night at the eddy residence. friday began with shopping! we were only supposed to spend a little time at southpark, but ended up staying there for about 3 hours! l got a new pair of jeans at nords, while i got a new red coat! we also stopped by lucky brand jeans and i was able to get a $99 pair of jeans FOR FREE!!!! momma made a big deal to say she was disappointed in my last pair getting a huge hole in the leg (of course, those jeans being the ones i had on) and the sales guy said he would trade them. super exciting! i was already planning on buying a pair and that made the decision all the easier! however, i did have to leave my other pair of jeans behind, and that was a little hard at first.

friday night celebrated baby c's half birthday! i can't believe how big she is getting! oh, how they grow up so fast. i was finally able to see her sit up and i couldn't even believe it! the c's made an awesome dinner and mom made a delicious apple pie to go with it. it was really nice to have some good ole family time.

saturday was game day. GO TARHEELS! thankfully we beat ECU but i must say that nick johnson had a pretty good game! while i was cheering for my heels, i was also hoping that he would do a good job! during the game, b came over to hang out for a while. we went to brueggers where the cashier gave us a free cookie! apparently we both stayed up too late during the past week because once we got back to my house, we both ended up taking a nap in my room for almost an hour. sat night proved a fun time at k's sister's house with our boys. the rain moved the party inside where we played beer pong with a 3 year old (her choice of drink was chocolate milk).

sunday morning was supposed to mean church, but alas, the parents let me sleep in. MUCH NEEDED must i say. i drove back to school during the panthers game, since i figured it wouldn't be much of a game anyways. come on, panthers! the rest of sunday was filled with unpacking and studying. this coming week is going to consist of lots of reading and studying, but i am ready! one test down today thank goodness and now all i have is another test and paper. can't wait for friday night!

all in all, this weekend was pretty great. free concert. free jeans. free cookie. can't expect more than that!
