Some people love Halloween and some people hate it. I think that no matter what clothes you chose to wear or what costume you chose today, it is the person inside that matters most.
The car ride up to Carmel with Mark and Tony was awesome. They never fail to make me laugh. I loved that the three of us sat in the front, just like in That 70s Show,
except we had so much more fun.
I loved putting on outfits of whatever we could find in the back of Mark's car just so we could get $2 burritos at Chipotle. Even though we didn't end up getting burritos, I'm glad I got to see Mark in his yellow Telly Tubby costume.
I loved meeting up with Megan, enjoying a warm drink at Starbucks and talking about life. Sometimes pausing to write down encouraging verses can be so uplifting.
I liked laughing over the fact that Megan's squiggly lines look like somebody's heart rate.
The car ride back to Butler was a blast with John and Christina! I'm glad John has his special mannerisms, like saying "Boom" at the end of his sentences. They're so contagious. I love hearing all the hilarious stories Christina has as a student aid in the life skills class.
It's so sad that today is the last day of Fall flavors at Starbucks. But I loved getting my last Venti Salted Carmel Mocha with Amanda. She's such an awesome girl. Even on rough days, she still has the most beautiful smile! Not even a costume could hide that :)
The best surprise was bumping into Catie! We were lane buddies on swim team last year and I miss seeing her every day. I loved hearing the latest news on everything that's going on in her life. She gave me such a great Catie pep talk about how I should keep working hard. Even though we have a lot to complain about, I liked that our conversation was filled with so much joy.
Staff Meeting was so exciting today! Hope, our boss or coordinator, was dressed up as Cindy Lou Who and I loved that Halloween gave us a reason to have be silly!
I loved meeting up with these girls to encourage one another and challenge one another to love God more! I loved sharing the poops and the praises of our week. I just know that Olive, Caroline and Sherry are gonna do such great things and influence so many lives and I'm glad I get to be a part of that. :)
My day would not have been complete without seeing Sherry in her mustache and Eskimo hat! I love our real conversations and looking forward to seeing each other in person soon! I like that we have similar personalities and are going through similar challenges. I'm so grateful that she's in my life to encourage me in so many ways. Her passion for dance and people never ceases to inspire me.
Costume or no costume, I'm glad that people's personalities
matter so much more than what they wear.
hi Eshan and Sherry!!! =)Sherry, i'm lovin' the 'tache.
ReplyDelete#1 Eshan, How many people are you able to hang out with in a day?! O.O I guess I am so far removed from college life to remember what it is like to be surrounded by people people people all the time. I hung out with four people the entire day today. and loved every minute of it. even now, while the little ones are sleeping... except for the littlest one hiccuping in my belly.
#2 How many cups of coffee do you consume in a day?!
Irene! :) I really do love that I am surrounded by so many great people, one of my favorite parts of college, I must say! But I wish there were more little kids around!! Say "hi" to Emeth, Hanan, and Watermelon for me!!! And I think I actually spent more time in Starbucks that day more than I did in my room... But I only had tea once and then salted caramel mocha to celebrate the last day of fall flavors!!!! I don't drink THAT much coffee!!! Hahaa
