feels like home

i think every weekend should be a three-day weekend. it's been great.
i got to spend a lot of time with nathan before he started traveling today. he's got eight weeks ahead of him recruiting for king college, traveling around the area for college fairs, so i won't get to see a lot of him in the coming weeks, so it was GREAT to spend that time with him this weekend :)
beka and i went to booms day last night and for some reason, both of us were still wired when we got home so we sat up and had one of our infamous late night beka-laura heart to hearts. once we had solved all the world's problems (at approximately 3 am) we finally went to bed & promptly slept in until noon today... which was fabulous considering i NEVER sleep past 10 or so.
today was a great day just to lounge around and chill out, enjoying the official last day of summer. this afternoon i went out with some friends and made a giant slip-n-slide on the front lawn of campus. it was so much fun :) pictures will be sure to follow of our crazy afternoon!
beka and i semi-cleaned up and headed over to mom & dad's for BARBEQUE NIGHT...WITH jim & nick's barbeque sauce... my favorite barbeque place down in birmingham. it was a great night just to spend with my family. just catching up on life and having a good heart to heart with my sister :) and my mom.
now we're back at our fabulous apartment and beka's cooking up a storm! it's weekends like this that get me through weeks that make me feel like i'm going crazy.
