Sequins and Sea Breezes: Weekending

Weekending

12/01/2014

 
Can you believe it's December already?!? I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving and if you went out for Black Friday I hope you had a successful trip! You are definitely way more brave than I am! I've actually never gone out for Black Friday but I've heard about how crazy it can be so I think I'll just avoid that whole scenario all together! Now it's time for the weekend recap with my girl Biana!



On Wednesday night a group of my friends did a little pub crawl around town and I decided to meet up with them at their last stop. Downtown was already decorated for Christmas and I loved it! Christmas lights are easily one of my favorite things about December, they make everything look so pretty and magical.


Thursday was Thanksgiving, obviously, and this year we kept it pretty low key. I failed on taking many pictures mainly because I was focused on the food but can you blame me?


We smoked our turkey this year and it turned out amazing! I'm definitely not complaining about the tons of leftovers we had and spent the majority of the weekend snacking on them. I swear the flavor got better each day. 


Friday was the UCF vs USF rivalry game. I have a love/hate relationship with this game. It's so fun to attend because it's a rivalry but it can get pretty ugly. With the game being the day after Thanksgiving and at noon it definitely wasn't packed at all so we just decided to scalp tickets there. We ended up getting extremely lucky and meeting a guy with club passes so we got great seats with club access for really cheap. 


 I spent Saturday relaxing and watching the other rivalry games on tv and Sunday was pretty much spent the same way. Since every Saturday and Sunday is spent watching football I decided to do some random cleaning Sunday while jamming out to Taylor Swift. Nothing like cleaning before the holidays!
 
Hope everyone had an amazing, long weekend!
