Well Friday night I basically called it an early night.... Still feeling a little under the weather from the night before and watched Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood. Such a good movie by the way. However, couldn’t fall asleep till like 2am and I don’t know why L. Then I woke up Saturday morning and cleaned the apartment to get ready for Nikki to see it J.
Then I left a little early to make sure I could get to the airport in time to pick her up! Took me forever and a day to find the right bus stop. Finally one of the bus drivers who was done with his shift led me to the right stop! Luckily when I got to the airport, I found my friend Caitlin who was waiting for her parents so I didn’t have to sit there for almost an hour by myself. Her parent’s flight and Nikki’s flight got in around the same time so I waited by the gate with her and when she saw her parents, I’m not going to lie, I kind of teared up a bit. Finally Nikki came out the door and OMG I was like NIKKKKI and gave her a big hug and yes I cried of course. I was SOOO beyond happy to see her. Then we caught up a bit, she was definitely in better shape then I was when I got into Florence that is for sure, but then again I was sick that whole first week when I got here. Then we caught the bus back and came back to my apartment!
Then we got ready to go to Gusta Pizza that I am obsessed with. So we walked across the river and looked around and then went and got pizza. I got my normal margarita pizza and Nikki got the ricotta, salami, and mozzarella calzone. Everything of course was delightful as usual!! Then we went to my life changing gelato place and I got my cheesecake and cookie gelato and Nikki got the strawberry and chocolate gelato. SO good of course. Then we came back and Nikki wouldn’t admit she was jetlagged but she was! Haha! So she called it an early night, NBD cause I was tired too, but I was staying up to skype the Murphy clan at 10:30 from my Grandpa’s 91st birthday party J! So I stayed up for a bit, watched Golden Girls of course and finally got to skype with the whole family!
It felt so nice of course to see them and hear their voices and of course I cried when I saw my papa! He is just too cute. He kept saying it’s papa and I kept saying I miss and love you of course!! Geez, I miss family birthday parties, but I am so glad I got to see everyone even if it was via computer! Can’t wait to come home to Keith and Megan’s wedding, Murphy weddings are always so fun J!
Plus I also missed last night my best friend Krob’s shot night L! Very very sad missing that too, but probably no thanks to my great advice she made it to the 21 shots! Good job krobbie!
Then this morning, Nikki and I woke up and went grocery shopping for what we were going to cook tonight J. Then we came back and ate lunch and then walked around for a couple of hours. Our feet hurt so bad haha! We got lost around the back streets of my apartment, but NBD we found our way to the river and home no problem. Nikki works for an Italian bakery in STL, so her boss gave her the mission to go to every bakery in town and find things they should make at the bakery. J SO we stopped by this one bakery we found and she got this chocolate filled cream puff she said was really good!
So now we are just resting a bit and are going to cook dinner soon. We are going to make potato gnocchi (my favorite) handmade by us J with meat and tomato sauce. I am so very excited. Then we have bread and are going to make a salad. J! We are both so excited. Nikki has never had gnocchi before so I am eager for her to try it!!
Then tonight we are going to eat on the balcony and drink some wine and probably watch Blind Side on my balcony! It has been a gorgeous day so far so hopefully it stays that way! Just a tad bit windy though!
Anyways, it feels so weird having Nikki here cause I feel like on Saturday when she leaves, I am going to go home with her, but I am not L! Haha! I will cry of course. I am glad that she is here during the middle of the semester though, so I kind of get that at home feeling.
Speaking of crying, I am just going to put it on the record now, everyone better get ready. I probably won’t even wear any eye makeup that Saturday I come home because I will be a wreck when I see my family and ditto for everyone else. And be prepped for me to tackle everyone with the biggest hug ever, just saying. Haha!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Miss and love!
