This past weekend 2 feet of snow was dropped on the lovely city of Arlington, Virginia. It was beautiful and I couldn't believe my eyes we were actually getting that much snow! Luckily, I left Richmond bound for Arlington early Friday morning so I did not get stuck in the snow storm with my car. However, I was snowed in until Monday morning --- and even then I had to get the boys to help shovel me out. I was so nervous my Volkswagon Beatle would not make it up the steep hill in their neighborhood. I kept telling Fred I was scared that Daisy (my car's name) was going to slide back down the hill when I was driving up it.
Still, the snow was beautiful! Friday and Saturday night I was snowwwed in with my amazing boyfriend. Even though we were getting stir crazy we had a lot of fun watching movies, drinking beer, and enjoying each other's company with friends. Fred and I also did Christmas this weekend since I won't see him again until next Wednesday.
I got Fred an Ipod Touch ---he loved it! His Ipod was stolen our senior year at Bridgewater so he was pretty excited to have a new one. Plus, it made me feel so good inside to see his face light up with joy. The minute after he opened it he played with it all night long.
And Fred got me a giftcard to Victoria Secret's (he hattttttttes that store, so I'm pretty shocked he managed to stand in line in order to get me a gift card). Why does Fred hate VS? Well, because when he was younger his older sister would drag him in there all the time and it scarred him for LIFE. Plus he always points out bras or fancy lingerie in there and asks, "Why don't you ever wear that?" and I look at him and tell him that the bra he's pointing at is about $50 and I don't have 50bucks to spend on ONE bra (I usually get all my bra's on discount from Marshall's and Target ... who the hell pays $50 dollars for a bra?!?!) SO yeah, Fred got me a $50 giftcard so now I don't have an excuse as to why I can't buy one fancy bra.
Fred's second gift was a pair of gorgeous matching earrings and necklace from ZALES. The stone is my birthstone (blue) and little diamonds around it. It's very pretty!! It's one of the nicest pieces of jewelry I own. It will look great with a nice dress or with any suits I may be wearing at the law firm... one day.
SO this weekend was a success! Even though I got snowed in and missed the a9/b9 tacky sweater party we were supposed to have in Fredricksburg. I really wish I could have seen all my girlfriends (because I really do need a girls weekend) but spending time with my boyfriend who I hadn't seen in a MONTH was a plus.
I hope everyone had as enjoyable of a weekend as I did!
