Day 191: Majestic Celebrations

Today was the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Catherine "Kate" Middleton, now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. While I didn't wake up to watch it real time, I did catch most of it later in the day. I loved Kate's dress! But everyone else had some serious fashion issues (in my opinion). The little hats that they wore (fascinators) were just ridiculous. My mom and I had a great time laughing at them.

After I had enough laughter for a while, I met my friend Alex for a smoothie at Tropical Smoothie. We used to go there after the gym every once in a while last year, so we had to reunite there. It was great to see her. While we were there, friends Keilya and Christine showed up, too, so I got to see them for a little.

This evening was the town's Relay for Life. I went to visit some friends and show my support in this magical celebration of life. I love everything that Relay stands for and I'm sad I couldn't participate in it at college or home this year. Hopefully next year!

I left Relay and went straight to Danielle's house for a "Hooray it's summer and we're all home" celebration. She made pizza, mac&cheese, sweet potato bake, and green beans, and I made baked pineapple yumminess. Her dad made us bananas foster for dessert (among cupcakes and cakes brought by other guests). The food was marvelous! And the company was even better. There were friends from school and friends from home. Since some of us were from both, I luckily knew almost everyone. It was just a really great time to hang out and celebrate being finished with our first year of college. Although two girls still have finals and one is a senior in high school... But oh well. The night was just splendid.

After the Royal Wedding, T-Smoothie, Relay, and Summer party, I'm all celebrated out! Bed time! Goodnight!
