Friday was actually pretty eventful. I had a coffee date with Michael in the morning - we went to Black Dog Cafe by Lake Ella. In the afternoon I volunteered at the food bank. When I returned, I was excited to find an e-mail from Laura Blank, one of the campus ministers from UCF. We've jumped into the planning process for Real Life College Faith, which you will hear more details about as it gets closer. After I gave a thorough reply to her e-mail, I ran some errands and then came back to church. Sarah came shortly after with her adorable puppy Ollie. He commandeered the plastic bottles from my recycling box and showed off how he can sit and beg.
On Saturday I mostly just lazed around. I slept in, watched a good amount of Castle, and packed for my trip home. Sunday I went to Bible study and worship, ate lunch at Voodoo Dog with Anna and Evan, hung out with the Winters in the afternoon, and finished my packing and preparation. Monday PJ kindly took me to the airport and in a few hours I was back in the Midwest eating my mother's pork roast and mashed potatoes.
It's going to be a rather busy vacation. Tomorrow I'm driving to see friends in Wisconsin (hence why I'm writing this post on Wednesday). I'll get back and spent about a week here before heading to Colorado for Christmas. We'll have our small family Christmas at my brother's place in Marion, IA over New Year's. And before I return to Tallahassee, PJ and I will attend the LCMS-U conference in St. Louis. It'll be busy, but fun and exciting!
I have two good pictures for you today. The first is of Ollie the adorable puppy, in the process of destroying a water bottle. The other is of me and my good friend Rachel from my home church, Messiah in Johnston. It was delightful to see everyone tonight at the Advent service!
