Days with the Dorans

Ali moved from the house she lived in Sophomore and Junior year to an apartment nearby with her roommate Hannah! She is so excited and loves her new space but sadly, I wasn't able to help move her in. As you may remember, Marty had his surgery and so I was staying with him since he is such a mama's boy! I REALLY felt bad not being there though and there were some things she forgot to take and so my mom and I took a little daytime roadtrip to go see my favorite girl and make sure she was all settled in!

Jeff and I went up separately and we took Joey and his friends Mike and Liam out to dinner at Jon's restaurant. It was great to see him too. After dinner Jeff and I went to Bells. We had some yummy drinks and I ran into a coworker (Danielle- such a small world). There was a Led Zepplin tribute band that we could hear and that made it fun too!  Ali got to Kala...
