Karen and I have had the most ridiculously crazy few weeks, and we had planned about two weeks ago that this Friday we would have a date to celebrate the end of them. I finished my biology test, met up with Karen, and we headed to the mall! I was desperate for jeans as the one pair I had now had a lovely hole near the back as of Friday morning. Karen wanted to look at jeans too, so we shopped in Belk, Gap, Macy's, and American Eagle. I found a pair in Belk, but when I went to Gap, I tried on this one pair and it was destiny. Ok, I'm kidding, but I found a great pair of jeans at Gap, and when I called Mama, she encouraged me to get two pairs (I did need them, and they are staples, and all that. Mama is very convincing, and she was right). It was nice to be successful in getting what I needed.
After shopping, I had a letter-writing party with Tri Delt to send letters to support St. Jude's. I was there for a little while, sent out my letters, and then headed to this worship thing my friend James set up. It was off campus in these woods behind a house that a campus ministry owns. It was so fun. There was a fire, James and Robbie led us in worship, and the whole group of people just sang and sang. I rode back to school with Katie, and we ended up driving around looking for a place to get coffee. It was unsuccessful, but it gave us time to catch up, which is what we really wanted anyway. :)
On Saturday, I had a retreat with this leadership group I am a part of. It lasted most of the day, and I ended up coming back and trying to take a nap. That didn't really work out, but no worries! I went with Katie, Chelsea, and Tori to Katie's grandmother's house for dinner! She made us (homemade) fried chicken, (homemade) mac and cheese, (homemade) green beans, (homemade) fried/baked zucchini, rolls, and (homemade) pound cake with strawberries and whipped cream. YUM!!!! It was so good. I had two servings because it was so so so good. It was nice to be in a house with grandparents eating HOMEMADE food. Yum. In the car on the way back to school, we were talking about how different it feels to be full because of good homemade food rather than okay mass-produced DH food or restaurant food. Namie will definitely be seeing a lot more of me over these next three years! So good. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Anyway, Saturday night after that, Hilary and I went to Yogurt Mountain and Barnes and Noble. So fun. Hilary had never been to Whole Foods, so we took a stroll through that store as well. It was funny to do that, because it reminded me of the first time I went to Whole Foods with some friends from co-op. I was gasping over everything, we ate all these samples (those good but weird green bean chips!), etc. Then Marge, Mary Grace (from home), and I started going to Whole Foods sometimes after school and buying a mini-tart for all of us and sharing one cup of gelato. It was fun to remember that while walking around with Hil. After that, Hilary and I headed back to school, rented a movie, and watched it in my room with Mary Grace (from school), Julie, Grace, and Karen.
Sunday morning, I got up, went to church with some friends (a church that I really liked and am probably going to go back to!), and then talked with Karen for a little bit. She's been sick. Then my friend Catherine and I worked on a surprise for one of our friends who is abroad. But the best is yet to come.
Sunday night was the Lady Antebellum concert!!!! Katie and I got tickets together, so we went to dinner at Atlanta Bread Company (I had the Garden Vegetable soup - yum!). Then we headed back to campus, parked, and found out seats. We were on the floor, in the twelfth row, near the middle. Oh my gosh, they were amazing seats, and the concert was so good! David Nail opened, and I was pleasantly surprised. But Lady Antebellum - wow. So so so stinking good. So good. Katie and I had so much fun.
