Party Party All Night Night Night...Sleep All Day Then Do It Again!

You may ask yourself, what do people do on the weekends in Peoria?  The answer is: GET MARRIED!  It seems to me that people here in the midwest get married at a ridiculously young age, but since weddings are fun, I won't complain just yet.

Before getting ready for the wedding, I went to the Riverplex for an awesome spin class (the bikes aren't as fancy as Jennifer's LA Fitness, but they are much better than Wichita's YMCA).  I tried to join the Riverplex only to remember that there was still a block on my account...life without access to your money is absolutely no fun.

As Josh's plus one, I thoroughly enjoyed my first Peoria wedding at St. Bernard's Historic Catholic church in Peoria, IL.   What I was really curious about was: where do people have wedding receptions here?  Ding ding ding...if you guessed the "Pair-A-Dice Casino" then you were right!!!  With ten kegs, countless bottles of wine, a spacious dance floor, and some fantastic tunes, the wedding was fun for all especially for Josh and myself! 



For the first time all week, I slept all night.  Until 1:15 PM.  It. Was. Awesome.  After calling my supervisor and setting up a meeting for late in the afternoon, I made plans to meet up with Anne (intern from Fall 2010) to go see "What to Expect When You're Expecting."  Aside from the Atlanta landmarks, a guy wearing a Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets shirt, some freakin' adorable little babies (and obviously, Chace Crawford), the movie was way too hectic for my taste.

After the movie, I skidaddled over to Barnes & Noble to meet my supervisor and get my onboarding information before he leaves for the week.  My supervisor is: AWESOME.  He has great communication skills, a clear vision of what he wants me to achieve this summer, and he has high expectations for the group I am working in.  I am extremely excited to start my first day on Tuesday in the Defense & Federal Products and meet my group!

Before I call it a weekend, I got to meet my roomies!!! As I write this, I know that these girls are definitely going to take this summer to a whole different level, so I am going to save introductions until the next post so I can do them all justice.
