Whirlwind weekend!

My weekend was full of good times. On Friday, I went to one of my favorite stores in town, Tribal Voices, with my mom to pick out something nice for my brother’s girlfriend. She turned 18 on Friday so we bought her a very nice necklace. I also bought myself a pretty ring as a “I just got a huge raise” reward. I took my mom out for thai food as well to celebrate. It was a lot of fun.

On Saturday, CT and I went to his apartment to pick up some stuff. All he has left there now are a few smaller items that he can fit into his car. He will be all officially moved in by the 1st. Exciting! I really do like having him around more. It’s quite comforting to have him around all the time and wake up next to him every morning. I could definitely get used to this ;)

We also booked our trip! We are going to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic from October 21 – 28. Yay! We are staying at the Grand Palladium Bavaro, the same resort I went to last time. I asked around to a couple of people I know who have been to Punta Cana before, and got some recommendations for resorts, but then I thought, I have been to the Palladium before and know I love that one, why not go to the same one again? I think I may be disappointed in trying another one in the same area since I know the Palladium was awesome. And it’s not as if we are going to “see new things”, we are going to just hang out on a beach and relax, so why not do that at a resort I already know and love? So, I’m going back to the same one. I will have to see if Tony “Dangerous” Thrust still works there, right girls? ;)

Saturday evening, we went to the Festival of Lights, which is a free concert and fireworks show here in town. The Trews were playing and they are really good live. They put on a great show!

Yesterday, CT and I went shopping. I cashed in some of my RBC rewards points for a $50 gift card for Shortscheck, so I wanted to buy a couple new bikinis for my trip. They had some really nice ones on clearance (half price), so I ended up getting 2 really nice bikinis for only $24 once my gift card was used. Pretty sweet deal! If I had paid full price, it would have cost me $150. I love deals like that! I also found 2 pairs of sparkly flip-flops at a store downtown, both on sale. So, I’m all set!

Then we cleaned the house because we had some of CT’s friends over last night to watch the WWE pay-per-view. It was good. The next one in September is in Toronto, and we are going to see it live, so that should be entertaining!

So, here we are at another Monday. Hope everyone has a great week!
