Monday was our first
Philippians test, which I totally passed! I had stared early on it so I had it
memorized beforehand. I wrote out the entire chapter on my mirror the night
before to help me and Shelby study. Afterwards, some of the girls and I went on
a hike to the water source. It was fun! We went to the tree house, the hermits
cave, and to the water source waterfalls. It was so pretty. I only fell down
once!
Tuesday night during
girls group, we had a gift exchange… Holland style! We each brought something
we had that we didn’t really use or want. It was crazy! We had to act like
other girls, answer weird question or do random things. It was a lot of fun.
Wednesday we started
decorating the building for Christmas! It looks so cool. There are light
everywhere and even our moose head and mountain lion are sporting some
ornaments and Santa hats!
It was Pause night this
week! Since Friday was Scott & Happy’s anniversary, we decided to throw
them a little anniversary party. It was a surprise so they thought it was a
night all about Trevor. We got to the Harris’s early so we could make dinner
and set up the table. We made spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread, salad, and
had a chocolate cake and ice cream! When they pulled up, we threw dry rice at
their car. They were so surprised! It was a great dinner and we grilled them
about how they met & how he proposed and such. After, we went to the ark
and did a crutch relay race in honor of Trevor. We played ping pong and
foosball, and gaga ball upstairs. Then we went back to the Harris’s for cake
and ice cream and played Apples to Apples and Quelf. It was such a fun night.
Although it was a fun
night, I still had to finish the rest of my paper when I got home at like 10. I
had started it the night before but I
was up until like 12:30 writing it. Poor Shelby was up until 4:30am!
It finally snowed! Friday
morning I woke up to it snowing! Everything was covered in a nice layer of
powder. But it was also a weird day. It felt like one giant awkward moment of a
day. During deep cleaning, we kept spraying each other with the sink hoses. I
went down on a trash run with Morgan and Logan and on the way up I was talking
about my feet and Logan told me the my feet “make his heart sing like a
thousand fiery suns.” It was so funny. What’s not so funny was when I was
walking up the hill after getting dinner and Ponderosa, and I blacked out.
Fortunately I had my awesome brothers and sister there to take care of me.
Jonah and Jordan ran up the hill to get help, while Julian, Logan, Luke and
Lexi stayed to make sure I was okay. Julian and Logan even wrapped me in their
jackets to make sure I didn’t freeze. Lexi and Julian held me hands and helped
me calm down while we waited for Rich to drive down and pick me up. I’m so
grateful I had them with me. I got back to the building and used my inhaler and
was able to breath normally again after a while.
Saturday was a pretty
lazy day. I finally slept in past 9am! Well, I slept until 9:01 anyway… But I
got up and packed for Mexico. Later, I went down with a bunch of people for
lunch. It was a snowball fight all the way there. We came back up and had a tea
party in the dinning room. I wrote some letters and watched people play chess.
Later in the evening, we played Bang! And Quelf, which was so much fun with
Jordan, Kelly, Nathan, and Lauryn.
Tomorrow we head to
Mexico, and then it’s off for Thanksgiving Break!
