A Weekend with Taylor!

This weekend one of my great friends and future suite-mates (20 days!), Taylor, came to spend the weekend with me. I hadn't seen her in person since we parted ways for summer vacation in May, so I was really excited to see her again before school started up again and introduce her to my friends and family.

Taylor arrived Friday afternoon from Connecticut armed with fresh bread from the Vermont Deli in Brattleboro (YUM!) and a moose-shaped dog cookie for my dog, Luke (needless to say, Luke decided that Taylor is his new best friend :)  Following a quick tour of my house, we had dinner on my front porch with my parents, sister Allison, and Grandma Barbara. After dinner my other grandparents, Granny and Pa, showed up so I got to introduce Taylor to them as well. We then took my dad's car (a black VW bug - Taylor had never ridden in one before!) over to my friend Emily's house for a fire and some s'mores. Here I introduced Taylor to my other friends Melissa, Morgan, John, Kat, Liz, her boyfriend Jared, and Emily's brother Grady. We had a fun evening gossiping and eating yummy treats! On Saturday, Taylor and I lounged around the house for most of the day reading our books and magazines, and watching tv with Allison. After we showered and dressed and grabbed some lunch, the three of us (Taylor, Allison, and I) decided to play the game of LIFE! We had a lot of fun and Taylor soundly beat Allison and I.

After our game, we watched Dance Moms while helping my mom prepare dinner (Dance Moms is crazy! Watching that show makes me really appreciate how sane my parents are...). Mom made a vegetarian taco ring, which was simply delicious, and we followed with brownies Allison and I made for desert - YUM! Taylor and I had originally planned to go to Pond Hill Ranch in Castleton after dinner for Wild Cow Milking night, but the weather didn't look too promising so we decided to stay home and watch 17 Again with Zac Efron which turned out to be really good!

Sunday morning after another delicious meal by mom of scrambled eggs, bacon, and watermelon, Taylor and I parted ways. I hope she had a great weekend in Vermont with my family... I sure had a great time with her!

All in all, I'd say we had a fun weekend :)
