a busy week

last week was quite the adventure – so much so that i think it caused my cold to turn into bronchitis. of course, i can’t complain, i had so much fun.

my friend recently got me on this huge pierce the veil obsession, and i’ve been listening to this particular album at least once a day. the lyrics really hit close to home with me, and i love the melodies a lot. discovering new music has become a great joy lately, and it’s great to fall in love with new artists.

on wednesday i was surprised with a care package from my dearest friend, ardenis. she recently went to an event for hair food and sent a little package over for me as a thanksgiving gift! i’m really excited to try out these hair products. sometimes i can’t believe i’m so blessed to have a thoughtful friend like her.

thursday was thanksgiving, and it was quite a fun holiday indeed! i wrote about all the things i’m thankful for, and got to enjoy some time with friends during the day and then dinner with my family. i had drank and ate so much that i ended up with a food coma. i passed out for a couple hours on the couch, but overall i’d say the day was a success.

on saturday i took a roadtrip down to williamsburg with one of my best friends, ashley. the weekend after thanksgiving is always the annual virginia job’s daughter pageant. five years ago i competed in this pageant and won! i try to come down to the pageant each year, (i’ve only missed one so far) and so i was excited to spend time with all the beautiful girls of virginia job’s daughters.

of course with any trip to foreign territory, we got a little lost on the way to hooters on saturday night. i took a wrong turn and ended up on this super sketchy road. ashley was very alarmed and wanted us to turn around immediately. i love the idea of spooky adventures, but after much protest from her, i took my picture for the memory and turned around. i’m still wondering what was at the end of this long gravel road…

the weekend wrapped up with my majority ceremony for the organization. i was four years overdue for it, but i’m glad it finally happened! since pageant and the ceremony was so eventful, i’m planning a post just for that, so stay tuned.

i’m finally back at work today, complete with a mask to protect my coworkers from bronchitis. hope you’re all doing well so far ❤
