I sadly had to send Caitlyn on her way this morning. She has a busy week ahead of her and we had a very eventful weekend, so say some prayers for her to have energy this week!
Here is a sneak peek into our girl time this weekend. Some stories can't be shared online, of course, because what happens on girls' weekend stays in girls' weekend :) No worries, we didn't experience anything too crazy!
On Friday, we enjoyed some local pizza, tried (but failed) to find a craft to do, and decided to make a last-minute trip to the movie theater to see God's Not Dead. Our take on the movie-- a little too jumpy of a storyline and some room for improvement on the filming, but some great Christian messages not-so-hidden within the characters' experiences!
Saturday did not fail to entertain us! We started our morning bright and early to go to Literacy in the Park, which is a campus program including a children's author visit (Eric Litwin) and literacy activities for children in the community.
Here is a picture of us with Pete the Cat! Hopefully we can entertain our future students with this "celebrity" spotting.
After spending some time around children, we decided to embrace our inner child and get our hands dirty. Spur of the moment trip to Hobby Lobby, it was! We came back armed with crayons, glue, fabric, ribbon, beads, and dowel rods.
I have a tiny crack of light that always shines through the side of my blinds, so DIY curtains were the perfect solution for residence hall life! Caitlyn was a wonderful crafting partner and helped me get REALLY creative with how to make those curtains happen. No sewing, just a glue gun, ribbons, fabric, and dowel rods supported by Command hooks. Ta-da!
We also made some bracelets we've always eyed on Pinterest. Ta-da #2!
Our day didn't stop there, though! Next up was a Best Friend Photoshoot. It was a blast and Melissa did a fantastic job finding fun poses and locations for the pictures. I'm sure some will be shared with you all once I get them back!
We were very tired and took a snack break for some Pinkberry after the photoshoot. Caitlyn learned she has a new favorite fro-yo topping, strawberries!
After some time just relaxing and watching movies, we went on our last adventure of the night. Caitlyn got to join me in cheering on participants at Ziggython, my school's Dance Marathon event. Dancers stand for 32 hours in support for the kids! Check out this link http://www.bgsudancemarathon.com/ for more information about this great cause!
We slept like babies last night, if you didn't guess! I think I tired out my best friend, but even if I didn't, I know we at least made some really good memories in our eventful day! I treasure time with this wonderful sister in Christ and am already looking forward to the next time I see her.
Hope you all had an adventurous weekend with the special people in your life!
