Primanti Bro’s

Lamb and stuff

This past weekend was spectacular.

On Black Friday, I went to the gym bright and early to lift weights and saw my mom and aunt in the same shopping plaza–while they were doing their Christmas shopping. They gave me a ride to my car… except I couldn’t sit in the seat because the vehicle was filled with stuff. First world problems.

The only place I shopped on Black Friday was online!

I spent most of Friday working on a huge research paper on TLC (the TV channel). I have actually been enjoying writing the research paper. What a nerd.

Friday night, my family took our family from New York to a classic Pittsburgh restaurant, Primanti Bros., to celebrate my little cousin’s 11th birthday. I tried lamb for the first time and I really liked it!

Saturday was also spent with family. My mom, sister, aunt, cousin, and I all went to a craft fair at the local YMCA. Yay for Small Business Saturday! I purchased a candle and two hand-painted cards. 

I started off Sunday with church.

I saw Jimmy for the first time in a week. He went to New York to visit his family for Thanksgiving. It was really nice to hang out with him all day in between church services.

We painted Christmas ornaments together for some very special people!

They’re not done yet!

More on the ornaments in another post!

How was your weekend? 

Bible verse of the day: Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe. Hebrews 12:28

Family time

Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. Hebrews 7:25

All week last week my 3 bedroom house held 9 people instead of 5. It was insanity. Fun insanity.

Yes, that would be my crazy hair flying in the wind.

My mom’s sister and her 3 kids (my cousins!) came from New York to Pittsburgh for their spring break.

All of the cousins together:

Idk why we were forced to wear hats for this picture…? Random!

What did we do the whole week?

*Ate

*Shopped

*Laughed

Seriously, that about sums it up!! It was such a fun visit, though I wish I hadn’t had classes the whole week. UGH. Us girls stayed up late a few nights just laughing and laughing. The whole family ate at a Pittsburgh Classic… Primati’s Bro’s!

I ordered a Greek salad because all of their classic sandwiches included meat. 😦 Boo. In case you didn’t know, Primanti’s is famous in Pittsburgh because they put fries AND cole slaw IN their sandwiches! This was my first Greek salad and I totally loved it. The bread on top was the best part though 😉 hahaha.

Another random update… that  is my dog Eddie. He was in the car on the way to the vet.

He has to have surgery on Wednesday because he has a tumor :/ blaaah I am super scared for him!

Well, I hope everyone has a good day today. I should be hanging out with my bff and attending my last week of classes *woot*!
