Happy Fall! October 23-29

Its real. My senior paper. I can't hide or pretend it isn't anymore... AH!

This week was a lot of just going through the motions. I went to the women's volleyball game (shocker I know. HAHA!) and I went to this new series our school is doing called Wellness Wednesdays. They have different events or speakers on different areas of life. This week was friendship. It was interesting to look at and talk about trust and believing people are your friends. This is something that I realize I struggle with. Its sometimes hard for me to believe people are my friends. Which I know is silly! And its funny that I was thinking about it this week because I remember saying something to my friend freshman year about not believing they were my friend. Its funny how somethings go full circle. 

I sat by Chalae for the Wellness Wednesday and we were both out of it! I took her to her house and got her ready for bed...but then all chaos ensued! She was super loopy, and then called someone to go play with her, and then Sarah Foster appeared, Chalae left, and Sarah and I just sat outside talking about life and laughing. It was good :)

I have been having the randomest cravings all the time! I was sitting downstairs with Alayna and I announced that all I wanted was Oreos. This is what she offered... yeah. Not the same.

But don't worry! Sarah Foster came in clutch!

I think I have taken a similar picture every year! I just LOVE leaves!

I drove a different way home on Friday and look how pretty!!! This is the best the fall leaves have been since I have been in VA. The last two years the weather has destroyed the leaves before they could fully change, but this year they are not disappointing!

 

It was our last home football game and we won! It was also freezing! I stood for most of the game by Colby, Anna Bowers, and ----. The Men's Volleyball team has been selling concessions to raise money. I went over to their table at one point and sat in a chair because it was warm haha! I was then grateful that Colby drove me home, its finally getting cold.

Saturday was adventure time! I have a list of things I need to do before I leave and one of those was go to the cornmaze and pumpkin patch that is on the road as you drive into BV. Alayna and I gathered some friends and off we went. It was so fun! This cornmaze too the entire side of a mountain! 

 

We successfully went through the whole thing and then climbed on hay bails, went sliding down the hill laughing our heads off, went on a see-saw, and looked at pumpkins. It was the perfect fall activity!

We tried... haha

We of course finished with a trip to Cook-Out.

That night I went to the school's production of Tuck Everlasting. It was beautiful!!! I ADORE the music! I ADORED the set. I ADORED the people. It was magical. 

I have been thinking a lot about time. The time it takes to establish a friendship. The time it takes to heal. The timing of every situation and how key it is. I was thinking about Hamilton and this idea of running out of time and wanting more of it. Tuck Everlasting is also about time, but the idea of what if you could have more time. Would you take it? Sometimes when I think of clocks they overwhelm me. We are dictated by numbers with having to be certain places at certain times. But I think the time without a number is what scares me the most. When someone says something will take time, that can be scary. But it can also be something exciting. We need to keep trusting and moving forward with faith and trusting the Lords timing and praying to learn what we are suppose to be doing while we are "waiting".

My amazing housemate Tara announced on Sunday that she really wanted to make food for people. Well I wasn't objecting! She made me a delicious panini!
