Good Ol' Arizona

Before I even start about my trip I just wanna say one thing. If you think that taking an overnight flight is a good idea before you have to nanny for 9 hours, you are mistaken. If you think you are going to just close your eyes and sleep the 5 hours, you are wrong. Never. Again.

Okay. Now onto my trip.
Friday night I was so excited about my 5:25am flight on Saturday that I couldn't even sleep! Luckily for me, my wonderful roommate drove me to the airport at 4 in the morning (that is some love right there!). I got my ticket, took a benedryl and slept my way to Texas. Well, for 3 hours at least. One more 2 hour flight and I was back in Arizona! Of course my flight was super early which meant that my ride was no where in sight. I think the text conversation went a little like this:

Me: I'M HERE!
Ian: Omg. Leaving Now.
Me: Ugh okay

Thank goodness my best friend doesn't live far from the airport so I didn't have to sit around and look like forgotten luggage for very long. I was pleasantly greeted by three lovely faces that I hadn't seen for quite some time. Paige, Tucker, and Ian. I couldn't wait for my three day weekend to start! But first, a necessary nap (which didn't end up lasting that long unfortunately). Then the rest of the afternoon went a little like this:

Buffalo Wild Wings
Wal-Mart
More Naps
Grocery Store (which you can buy alcohol in! Damn you, Pennsylvania)

Saturday night was going to be the only night we all had together so we all put on our fancy pants and headed out.

Side Note: The lovely (even though some may say different. cough Ian cough) floral shirt worn by yours truly has been worn every time I have ever gone to Ra, the sushi place we ended up at. Strange coincidence.

Studs.

Hotties.

If there is one thing that I have fallen in love with in Arizona, it's the Breakfast Buzz smoothie from d'lish. A smoothie? Really Chelsey. Yes. It is chocolate, banana, coffee, and peanut butter goodness. I have had at least one every time I have been out there since Paige allowed for me to taste such magnificence. When everyone was out getting smoothies for everyone I started making breakfast. Pancakes and bacon. Two things that I do not eat. They better have felt honored. It was our friend Ian's birthday so, of course, we had to be obnoxious and sing to him (I don't think he liked it too much, but luckily we didn't care). His birthday present consisted of a 6 pack of Blue Moon and a hand painted Ron Burgundy beer stein. High five to me.

The rest of the day consisted of us watching SNL Clips and episodes of New Girl. We finally decided to leave the house to get some Mexican food because a trip to Arizona without Mexican food is an unsuccessful one to me. We went to Cafe Rio which had yummy homemade tortillas that they made right in front of you. Then we went back home for some more laziness and then decided to go to a place where you get to watch a movie and get to eat dinner at the same time! We saw We're the Millers. Hilarious if you haven't already spent the million dollars it take to go see movies now a days.

Monday was another lazy day.
Best part of the whole thing: Water War.

I had never heard of it before and both Paige and Jon thought that I would chicken out but after watching what it was I couldn't have been more excited. If you don't watch Jimmy Fallon, like me, you wouldn't know what it is. Go watch this, laugh, and then challenge your friends. Unfortunately, I lost. But it was so much fun and a great way to end my stay in Arizona.

Weekends like this make it hard for me to say good bye. I love Philadelphia, but I absolutely love spending all day with my closest friends. Distance sure does make the heart grow fonder. And sometimes it straight up sucks.

Hope everyone else had a great Labor Day Weekend!! Fall here we come!!
