My Weekend

My Weekend

Morgan Milledge

                        My weekend started off Saturday, September 6^th on a car ride to Chariton, Iowa where my dad’s side of the family lives. My cousin, Alexa, had just turned 15 the day before and I was heading up to come to her birthday party. I was very excited because I usually don’t get to attend my family’s parties because I live so far away.

                        When I got to Chariton my dad took me to Alexa’s house. From there, we picked up one of my other aunts and then went on to pick up Alexa’s friend Laura. The party started off with us going to a nail salon in Indianola, Iowa where we got our nails done. This took almost three hours, but it was worth it. Next, we headed to Jordan Creek mall in Des Moines where we bought many items including “Maple Bacon” lip balm which not only smelled but tasted like canned dog food.

                        After the mall, we headed to a restaurant called Fuddruckers. We ate good food and sat around and talked for a while until we decided to go. It seemed like I had already known Laura for forever and we then went to Kohl’s. We bought some things there and lastly went to Wal-Mart where we rode around on rip sticks and scooters while my aunt picked up some photos.

                        My night ended by going back to Alexa’s house and staying up talking with Laura whom I had become very good friends with over the course of ten hours. Overall, I had a great weekend and hope to head back up to Iowa again soon.
