The Best Weekend

This is how I feel right now ...

Hello. I've met my prince charming.

Imagine your perfect weekend. Now imagine it being magnified times 1,000. That's the weekend I just had. I've finally made it down to Philly to see my gorgeous man that I've had the biggest crush on ever since I met him. We have been friends for about two years now, but because of the distance, were never able to actually see each other enough to start anything "real". Ok, this is getting personal, let me skip to the good stuff.

So, Friday night I made a trip into Philly to see Sir Loin (I have to call him that, otherwise I'd call him "my gorgeous little man" and he just hates being called little to death. He was amazing the entire weekend, from start to finish. He found this incredible incredible incredible restaurant for us to eat at, called Pod. The most amazing thing about it, is that he was looking for a nice place where they accommodate people with Celiac's disease. I was incredibly impressed with how amazing they were in taking care of me. They literally changed dishes around so that I can eat them. They deserve a major award or something. I want to bring my waitress a present the next time I go back there for her amazingness. It really blew my mind that he even thought of that. People just aren't that thoughtful, especially men, no offense dudes. 

Not only was the dinner literally the most amazing meal I have ever eaten in my life, (AND I was able to enjoy the rest of the night stomachache free!!!), the restaurant was absolutely mind blowing. It was 1,000% modern. You have to check out the website. Click on Restaurant Tour: http://www.podrestaurant.com/ I was seriously impressed. My date is a genius. The rest of the night was just as perfect. We hung out with his roommate, who is the nicest, funniest person I've ever met in my life. (Hey ladies he's single!!) It was really nice to be surrounded with really amazing people, for a change.

Saturday was SO MUCH FUN!!!! We slept in late, and then Genius boy got word on this craft/fashion show that was going on at Penn's Landing. The weather was PERFECT, so we spent all day walking around this amazing little place. It was like a huge outdoor fair with all of my favorite things in the world, independent designers selling their stuff and surrounded by artsy hipster kids. I was in heaven, holding hands in a sundress and gladiators, sipping on strawberry smoothies and soaking up the sun and the good company. Sometimes I wish I could just quit my job and do that on a daily basis. I live in a dream world.

It's been a pretty incredible weekend, and I have one person to thank. John himself. You are most handsome man I know. :)
