unleash. your. awesomeness. HAHA

so this past weekend started off with a little adventure...where emily and i thought we were only going to be driving to knoxville for 2 1/2 hours, and instead it was about 4 1/2 hours, which seemed like 4 1/2 years! we got stuck in traffic due to construction...actually we're still not really sure what the hold up was! we moved 4 miles in about 1 hour, it was crazy. we were delirious. and the radio station at that time kept playing ads for the state college in the town we were near...and it continuously said "UNLEASH YOUR AWESOMENESS 98.5!!!" or whatever the station was we were listening to. haha. we laughed for a few minutes about this.
well then we finally made it to knoxville where we got to see our bestie laura...good times in knoxvegas were about to be had all weekend! friday night consisted of a late dinner and then meeting up with laura at her apt and hanging out with her roomie, the roomie's friend, and one of laura's longtime college friends/roommates. we also facebook stalked...for a really long time. you name the person, we probably stalked them.
saturday was fun also! we woke up leisurely, everyone getting ready for the game (except for me) and a mad rush to chickfila for a biscuit and bagel and coffee. and then i dropped everyone off at campus and proceeded to starbucks and studied :( and learned a few new vocab words i'll try to use in my conversation this week. haha. and then i picked them up from the game and we went to get a snack & went back to laura's apt to watch football and sleep! and i wore a snuggie for the first time EVER in my life, so comfortable! THEN we went to dinner at the coolest restaurant (downtown grill and brewery) and then walked around market square and got a dessert and then went back to laura's to get ready for a night on the town...which really lasted till about 1 am which i am proud of myself for being up that late.
then today we woke up, went to panera, had an awkward encounter with a VERY strange man- which it wouldn't be appropriate to type out what his background story was that we found out later on, and our departure back to nashvegas.
all in all, a FUN, very memorable weekend...with LOTS of laughs. my ribs are still hurting and "crossing over".
