A Sad and Happy Day

I took Jesta to the airport this morning. She's on her way back to Ohio. I'm really going to miss her! We had such a great time together! It's actually really impressive how well things went. Neither of us had a whole lot of personal space sharing my one bedroom apartment but it never seemed to be an issue. So I'm really sad she isn't here anymore but I'm also really happy with how her visit went. So that's what I'm focusing on. Plus, I'm almost sure she'll be back (no pressure, Jesta!)

So our week didn't go quite as scheduled but we accomplished all the important things. We ended up going to the Sunday night football game on Monday morning. A few others had planned to go that day so we wanted to join them. It was really fun! We went to a pub called Bully's. There were only about 4 other people there. Kinda funny to go to a football game with such a non-roudy crowd. I miss the roudy crowd! But I'm determined to go to the Superbowl this year so hopefully that will bring the roudy crowd.

Here we are in front of Bully's. The second photo is our little group (excluding C who was taking the photo). I think I was concentrating on the food. It was really good!

We didn't end up going to the Tiger Temple. We found out it was going to cost $100 just to get there! I was actually kind of glad. As cool as it could've been, I've heard that they drug the tigers so they aren't aggressive. Some friends of mine who visited said it isn't true but I'm still leery. I feel better not contributing to something like that.

Last night we went karaokeeing. It's really popular to do here and Jesta has been wanting to do it so we finally went. It was such a great time! We went to a restaurant where they also rent rooms for karaoke. It's like renting a living room. Pretty cool!

I must admit that I haven't been on top of running this week. But I have a visitor from Malaysia right now and her visa run who wants to run. So we'll go several times while she's here. It's always helpful to have a partner!

I woke up thinking about you-with Jesta leaving, then I saw your post. So you have a new visitor...pretty soon you'll have to rent a bigger boarding house! I agree about the running partner, although I rarely have one anymore, not like the old days....busy schedules and all. But, I am going running this morning. My partner today is Huck...not a great conversationalist, but, he's really cute. Hope to talk soon. S
