Jaunt- "A short excursion or journey for pleasure"
That about sums it up.
This week was CRAZY!
But lets first pause and appreciate the February summer that I am having! Its the best!
I know what you are thinking. "Here goes Lauren again on her love for her children." And yes. That is exactly what I am going to do. These kids are just the sweetest. Kids are truly just tiny adults. They have bad days, hard days, good days, they laugh, they cry, they love food, they love to work hard and have a good time. The lessons they teach me everyday amaze me.
I had so much to get done this week in preparation for going home for the weekend. So I didn't make it to FHE, but some of my girls showed up with a decorated cookie for me! It was so kind.
Shadows on the water tower at 10:30pm
And campus coming home at 12:45am..
But seriously. This weather has been insane!
Tuesday ALLEY CAME HOME! Her family had a live video going on Facebook. I watched the whole thing and bawled like a baby when she hugged her family.
Picture this. Wednesday morning, 9am. February 8th.
And I am OUTSIDE doing homework. It was amazing.
Earlier in Institute the power had gone out for maybe five seconds. Then I walked into choir and the power went off again! The whole campus was down. So we started to have class outside and there were firetrucks...
Basically I thought it was a sign that the whole day should have been canceled.
One of my favorite classes this semester is Museum Studies. The whole month of February we take one class period a week and go visit a museum in Lexington. This week we went and saw the Archives at the George C Marshall Museum.
Alley called me when I went to lunch. It was sooo good to hear her voice!

When planning my surprise to go home I knew that I was going to have to try and get ahead in homework. So Wednesday I spent from about 7:30pm to Midnight attempting to study.... Yeah.. attempting being the key word.
At one point I was starving and I ended up convincing my friend Kevin to bring me food! It was so awesome.
Definition of College. Anywhere you can find a second to sleep, you do.
Thursday I made it to all my classes then rushed to the airport. This was my first time flying out of Roanoke, and as I was boarding the plane I felt like I was Kate Middleton walking out to my private jet.
...except it definitely wasn't a high end jet. It was a tiny scary plane that bounced up and down the whole flight.
Friday I surprised Alley!! It was soooo good! AH!
Love this girl.
I was grateful that I was able to surprise Alley, have an EFY interview, visit family, and see Klea sing. It was so special.
Why does this happen every time?
I was so grateful for the trip to Utah, but it did feel good to come home to my Virginia Home. ;) I just really love it here and the people here. And a lot of crazy things happened while I was gone that were a little crazy coming back to. But its so nice knowing you are right where you need to be. I know I am suppose to be a student here at Southern Virginia University. What a blessing.
I love you family! Thank you for making this trip work! I loved spending time with you for a few days :)
