Since Andrew is heading down to Atlanta next week, I headed home for the weekend just to spend some time with him before he leaves. We spent the whole time together doing our favorite things, and it was wonderful to be home with the dogs and just relax.
My bus Saturday morning was at 6:30 and I had anxiety all week about waking up at 4:30 and making it to the bus stop in time. But of course, in true Kelsey fashion, I missed it. I set my alarm for 4:30...on Sunday and woke up to a million missed calls and texts from Andrew and my parents wondering where I was. Luckily, I wasn't hurt or dead, just asleep.
I re-booked another bus and made that one (barely) and was home for dinner.
I came home to a completely re-done bedroom. I have had the same room (blue with clouds on the ceiling, darling, I know) since fourth grade. My mom finally painted over the clouds and added trim and really turned it into a grownup room. The gray isn't gloomy, it's relaxing and sophisticated, and the pink accents are perfect. The room is no longer a shrine to my high school life, but a chic space to come home to. It's so much more adult and so much more me.
On Sunday we also made it to a farm (it is Upstate New York, after all) and picked up fresh apples, donuts, cider and apple freeze, which I hadn't encountered until last fall. It's like the most amazing blend of vanilla soft serve and applesauce. Perfection.
And then we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant for dinner and just about died of happiness. I'm incredibly sad that Andrew is going to be so far away for so long, but weekends like this one reassure me that he is, indeed, my best friend in the world and that no amount of time or space will hurt us.
I'm so excited for him and I can't wait for him to start his life, and I can't wait to meet him down there so we can start our life together.
