Weekend In Indianapolis!

So I’ve been away from the blogging world and the Internet for a little while because this Jersey Girl is in Indianapolis for the weekend! I really enjoy Indianapolis. I could never live here – the Midwest is not for me (too many cornfields!) – but it is a really fun place to visit. It doesn’t hurt that some of my favorite family members live here! My cousin from Chicago is in for the weekend, so the Ohio Fergusons and I drove the three-hour drive (through a horrible snow storm!) to spend some time with the folks in Indiana. Last night we had an awesome meal at a local Mexican restaurant. I have not had authentic Mexican in quite some time. Like the good Catholic I am, I ordered veggie enchiladas, and they were excellent! I love finding cheap, great food in local areas. It is so much better than eating at an Applebee’s you can find anywhere.

Today we visited my cousin and his wife’s new house about 20 minutes away from his parents. I hope when I’m 27 I can have a house as lovely as that house. Mom and Dad will love it once they finally get out here again. It’s big and comfy, and I hope we will have many good memories there. We came back to my aunt and uncle’s house and played a few rounds of Taboo. That is one frustrating game! You can’t say all of the words that you need to say in order to get the word across. (BTW did anyone else know that SWAK was “Sealed with a kiss”??? – Let’s just say that didn’t go well for me.) There are now about five people in the kitchen making steaks, creating side dishes, and pouring Champagne – “tonight’s gonna be a good night” ☺ Sorry I couldn’t resist!

I was unable to go to Las Vegas with the extended family when they all flew out for my cousin in Texas’ wedding a few weeks ago. I hate missing family events. I think it is an understatement to say that my family is a hoot. They are a bunch of crazy fun people who know how to have a good time. When my uncle asked if I wanted to drive out to Indiana this weekend, I didn’t need a second to consider. I’m pretty sure, “Absolutely!” was my reaction. We have a blast and laugh a lot. I really wish that my Jersey family was out here as well, but since they can’t be I guess we’re going to have Skype sessions to update them on the events of the weekend. Tomorrow we leave, and I have to go back to thinking about all I have to complete in the next two weeks in order to graduate college. As for tonight I’m going to smile and eat lots of good food.

Peace and Love <3
