A weekend trip was in the making to celebrate graduation and to wave off our East Coast adventure, but I had no clue where to. All I knew is that I needed to pack a bag, and our apartment needed to be ready to move out BEFORE we left.
I managed to sell almost everything, and cleaned it to a tee. I packed my bag, and we headed to the train station. I was so excited that Kade took the time to plan a last minute get-a-way :)
New York City.
Kade had talked to Rich, and we were going to surprise Mar for her birthday. They were there celebrating, and she had no idea we were coming. When we got there, we found out they were eating at the Shake Shack. We saw them in the window and thought it would be funny to walk up to it and make a face from outside. At first she looked at me so confused like some crazy lady was staring at her, but then it clicked and she jumped out of her chair and ran outside.
Perfect reaction, and so good to see her after five months!
After, we did some shopping in Times Square and around the area.
That night we split up and Kade and I went to see the Disney musical Newsies. We loved it. We had really great seats, and ended up buying the last two in the whole theatre!
The next morning we met Rich and Mar in Times Square to have breakfast. Kade and I were headed back to Philly to catch our flight home so we weren't able to spend more time with them. We took a few pictures and said goodbye. (Exciting to only say goodbye for a day or two since we were all headed to Utah! Yay!) It was way fun to be with them for a little bit!
(We were freezing while taking these pictures!)
When we got back to Philly, Amber picked us up from the train station and took us to our apartment to load up. She was going to take us to the airport, but we had SO much stuff to load into the car first from our apartment. She had just showered, gotten ready, it was hot, we were all sweating, and she didn't complain once walking up and down our stairs taking stuff out. I think she also took out the garbage, and collected a load of things that we were donating to the ward that she later dropped off for us. Amazing.
She took this picture of us as we were wheeling all of our luggage to the check in desk. (They made us rearrange and take a few pounds out of each bag. Stressful!) It wasn't too sad to say goodbye to her at the car, but it hit me once we were all checked in and sitting on the plane. Jeff and Amber have been awesome friends...we will be sad to not live so close to them anymore. It will be weird not spending so much time with her cooking, laughing, folding laundry, talking, and getting to know each other so well while our hubbies lived at the library. I think they were glad we had each other while they were so busy.
Kade and I were so exhausted once we sat down on the plane. It was a whirlwind weekend, but a good farewell to our little adventure in Philly. I am so proud of Kade for working so hard while in school, and love him for planning our little trip. We had a lot of fun.
On to the next chapter in our lives!
