More fun stuff that happened. (I apologize, I'm totally doing this for me, so if you get bored, just look at the pictures!) Really I was trying to soak up just as much fun with my Omaha people as possible before I had to leave them all!
I went to tons of movies, which was so much fun, and even better because a couple of them were free, and some of them were even midnight movies!
A big group of us went to see The Avengers at midnight. There were about fourteen of us, and I really only knew like three people. My friend Jessica was a total stud, and put together her own Captain America costume! I actually went to a couple of stores in search of a good Iron Man shirt, which does not exist. I contemplated wearing my Batman t-shirt (despite him being in a totally better playing field than Avengers), but instead just gave up. Let's be honest, I don't do costumes unless I go all-out!
Next. We have a good buddy who works for the radio stations in Omaha. They were doing some sweet promotion where we got free tickets to Dark Shadows! Not only did we get free tickets, we got to see it a week before it was released to the public.
Of course that meant Will and I were going to dress up! You can't tell, but I'm wearing my awesome vampire boots. I busted out my teeth, and Will let me color his hair black! See what I mean about going all out for costumes? Also, I think this picture is hilarious because usually it's me drinking the Diet Coke.
I know it came out a while ago, but we most certainly went to the midnight movie for Hunger Games. I went with my friends Dave, Zach, and Laura. Funny story, the next day I get a call from Zach saying that he wanted to go see Hunger Games again. Knowing me, it took next to no persuasion to get me to convince me to go! So there you have it, I saw Hunger Games not once, but
twice, and both of them at midnight! Actually, that's one of things I miss about Omaha. Cedar doesn't exactly support midnight movies. Or any movies after 10.
After Graduation, a bunch of the dental students decided to stick around Omaha for a week in order to attend a fellow dental student's wedding. That meant that I was spending a lot of time packing and cleaning my house, but I also had a lot of free time to spend with people.
Dave and I decided we needed to go visit the zoo one more time! We had a lovely time taking pictures, and checking out the beautiful new aquarium. It's been closed for a couple of months for renovations, and it has been my favorite exhibit besides the jungle.
I spent the entire week between graduation and the wedding packing my belongings, including my kitchen stuff and food. Poor Dave had nothing in his house but a lawn chair and a blow-up mattress, so we went out to eat a lot.
Here we are at Taco Tuesday at the lovely Guacamaya. Yum! This was one of our favorite haunts since we could get tacos for a dollar! After this we met up with some friends at a Jays game down at the new Ameritrade center. It was the first time I had ever been there, and it was a lot of fun to enjoy the beautiful weather and watch some baseball and fireworks!
We also spent a day hanging out at my friend Chase's house. Since moving he seemed to take on several home improvement projects, and we volunteered our services. He bought his home from a family, and the house came with this really rickety old swing set. We took that poor old thing apart, chopped it up, built a fire pit, and burned it!
Actually the whole point was to build the fire pit, but the swing set made for good firewood. After we built the pit, Chase threw us a big going-away BBQ. It was ah-MAH-zing! Funny story, though. Apparently the neighbors called the cops when they saw the "ten foot flames." Yeah, you can tell from the pictures that they weren't! Also, when the cop showed up and realized there was no alcohol at our party, he let it go. So there you have it, I had my own party and got the cops called on it. Check
that off the bucket list!
