It's Friday, and because I had big plans for the weekend, the day went by very slowly. Everything went easily at school, but it crawled, and finally when 2:30 hit, I was in my car and on the road, using my new GPS that I got for christmas. I was on my way to Altoona to visit Christa and to go to her brother Nick's going-away party. He is in the national guard, and is on his way to Iraq/Afghanistan. So, I drove for 2 hours through mid-Pennsylvania to spend the weekend with one of my best friends and her family.
Unfortunately, when I got there, I learned that Christa had a delay driving from Lancaster (where she works), and so she didn't get there until 10pm! It wasn't so bad, though, because I just sang karaoke with her mom and dad for most of the night, and I had homemade puppy chow (thanks Charmagne!) to eat while I waited. When Christa finally got there, we ended up just talking and passing out, like a true girls night.
The picture is from the trip on the road....entering Altoona, there is this little piece of highway that goes alongside some hills, and on this hill are train tracks, which I have always thought looked like something out of a christmas movie or book. Ironically, a train happened to be chugging along when I was driving, so if you look close, you can see the little steamer on its path!
