Easter Extravaganza

Happy Easter Everyone :) Here's what I did:

Frank got home wednesday night so he came and stayed with me to take me home on thursday. Naturally we hung out on thursday. I missed him so muchhh.

Friday Emily Grazia and I went to Beachwood Mall to pick up her prom dress from Cache. That butthead, she told me she was picking me up at 11:30. I texted her at 11 to make sure we were still going, she says she's coming at noon. Ten to noon I get a call that says she's coming at 12:30. Then at 12:15 she says she'll be over in twenty minutes. (Keep in mind that she lives almost exactly 5 minutes away). Over half an hour later I call her to find out where she is and she says she's just now leaving the house. After we got some lunch in the food court, picked up her dress and grabbed a sweater from Guess, we ran into Emily Robie, my Pennsylvannian friend from Kent who I adore. Now I'm sure you're wondering why a girl from PA would be shopping in Ohio. So was I. But she stopped on her way back to Erie after her parents picked her up from Kent.

After the mall I had Emily drop me off at Frank's. His mom is a sweetheart and invited me to stay for dinner after he and I went to go see Water for Elephants at 4:00.  I loved it!! Such a cute movie. Except I hated when he was beating the poor elephant. Frank was laughing at me, but I'm just an animal lover, no matter how big the monster is :) On our way home, he asked if I would come over for a little. He had that smirk on that he gets when he's up to something though, so I was nervous. I called Mom since she freaks out when she doesn't hear from me in a while and told her what I was up to. After dinner at the Zitko household, Frank's mom pulls out a little chocolate cake and they all sang happy birthday to me. Sooooo sweet. His dad even grabbed the accordian from the other room and played happy birthday for me while they sang. I loved it. Then he gave me my birthday present, Season 2 Volume 1 of Glee and Indians tickets :) After that he came over my house to color easter eggs and after we hung out in the basement.

Saturday we had my mom's side over for "Easter Eve". Frank came too and brought over a bag from his family with peanut M&Ms and a Starbucks Gift card. Officially love his family even more. Saturday also happened to be our 6 month anniversary (insert awwww here). He and I helped Mom with the asparagus and after dinner he helped me do the dishes. He's great. Dad noticed and is starting to take a liking to Frank. He's rubbing off on me in a pretty good way :) We just hung out with family for the rest of the night and then later my cousin, her boyfriend, Stanley, Nick Zele, Frank and I went downstairs to watch Dexter. I fell asleep on him for a little, but he didn't mind. I was soooo comfortable in his arms laying on his chest. I know its cliche, but he and I really do fit together perfectly like puzzle pieces. When we went out to his car when it was time for him to leave, he pulled out my anniversary gift: a neckless with a heart and key charm. I refuse to take it off because I love it so much.  I'm sad though because the gift I ordered for him isn't ready yet.

On Easter I went to mass with my family at St. Anselm. We got there right as mass was starting and had to stand. That sucked. My friend Cassie and her sister Chelsea walked in right after us because they parked the car while their parents got seats, but then they couldn't find them so they stood with us. I ran into Christina Monaco and her family as well as Emily Nice. It was nice seeing them, especially the Monaco family. They were like my second family growing up but once Christina and I went to different high schools we didn't really see each other much. After mass we headed over to Grandma Krulc's house at noon. Frank showed up a little after because he was visiting his Grandma after mass at St. Vitus. We ate there and hung out for a while before going to his Aunt Cathy's house. His cousin just got the cutest puppy!! He was adorable. We had dinner there and then went down into the basement/Josh's room and watched tv and talked. It was actually a lot of fun. I alredy knew his cousins Josh, Matt, Aimee, and Lindsay so it wasn't awkward at all. Frank and I both kept taking turns nodding off though while we were watching tv. We both were exhausted. After that we went back to my house and watched movies on Netflix all night and spent his last night home together. I hate when he leaves. It hasn't gotten any easier. I still tear up a little watching him walk to the car and drive away.

Today Mom and Matthew brought me back to school. I skipped all my classes cause I didn't feel like going. We had lunch at Rosie's and then just hung out in my room. I packed up almost everything in my room and sent it home with Mom. It doesn't feel any emptier in here though, just in the closet. I have a lot of stuff going on this week, but then all I have to do is take two finals on Monday and I'm home free! Checking out of my room on Tuesday will be a breeze and then I'm officially on summer vacation. Now all I need to work on is getting some summer weather here in Ohio and getting the perfect summer job.

haha, that was a long one

Birthday Weekend and More

I went home this weekend to spend my birthday with my family, bringing along two friends: Emily and Heather. We had such a good time just chilling. Saturday was so much fun, spending all day at the mall and exploring the new Forever 21 that they put in the Beachwood mall. I love it! My friend Kristina works there, and I'm thinking of applying for over the summer. Employees only get a 10% discount, so I wouldn't be tempted to buy clothes all the time (maybeee ;]) My best friend Emily Grazia came over and we ended up going to Walmart to buy ice cream cake. Lemme tell you, this girl is nuts. I love her.

We all headed over to mass for Palm Sunday, then to Bob Evans for breakfast. After that we ran home, changed, and headed out to the Indians game. Grady Sizemore was back for his first game this season from being injured last season. At his second at bat he knocked one over the fence for a homer in his returning game. Emily and Heather, both being from Pennsylvania, now have a new found love for baseball after seeing pictures of Grady. He is now the background on both of their phones, and on Emily's laptop. I'm just excited that the Indians are finally getting some respect. I love going to games and I have always loved watching them on tv.

We headed back sunday night because people needed to schedule classes. It was kind of bitter sweet. Watching all of them stress about scheduling and here's me not worrying because I'm transfering. I'm gonna miss some of the people here, but I'm not gonna miss this place. Its too close to home. I wanna meet new people and really learn to take care of myself; to grow up.

Now I am slowly sending stuff home and packing things up. Theres no need for it all to be sitting here and then when its time to move back home to try to jam it all in the car. Plus, I've brought more stuff back with me since I moved in, so I better start making room now. Kelsey is doing the same. I only have the rest of this week, plus one more week of classes, then finals. I have two on that monday and one on friday, so I'm probably moving home on Tuesday, unless Mom decides to come pick me up Monday night.

I'm excited for SUMMER, and everything that comes with it. Like having my boyfriend home instead of 8 hours away. Plus, Kent gets out way before OSU and OSU goes back wayyy after Kent. So I'll have an extra long summer. Just gotta hear back with my offical acceptance letter.

Fish Fry

Part of my job at the catering center is working the fish frys. I came home this weekend since my birthday is on sunday and I brought Emily and Heather with me, so Mom and Dad took us out to the fish fry. It made me realize how much I love my job. I love the people I work with, we're all one big family. Like every family we have our issues, but we manage to stay close. Everyone knew my birthday was coming up so they all gave me hugs, wished me happy birthday, but then bugged me about why I wasn't working. I miss working all the time and swaping stories with the girls. Can't wait to go back over the summer :)
