Behind the scenes

Yesterday I blogged about the ornament exchange I went to at my church, but I didn’t mention anything that went on “behind the scenes.” I spent a good part of the exchange playing with kids from the church. Ahhh, I love little kiddos!

The kids set up a picnic lunch for us 😉

It was quite a fun time! I thought it would be cool to show what went on during the exchange, besides the normal stuff!

I jammed to this before presenting my rhetoric paper. It pumped me up fo sho!

 Hannah and I in the Barnes and Noble bathroom on Friday. Random.

K-Cups! I have found that buying K-cups at Bed Bath and Beyond is the best because they have like every flavor and the store constantly has sales + coupons!

On Sunday Jimmy and I went bowling together. It was quite fun. I ended up bowling a 129 and Jimmy bowled a 179. Jerk.

Popcorn! I got a popcorn maker like two years ago for Christmas and it is super easy to use. All you do is heat it up, add vegetable oil, and popcorn. Then let it pop and add salt, etc! Jimmy and I made this on Sunday for the preschool class we teach at our church. Fun fun!

This is my last week before finals week. Ahhh! So ready to be done!

Have a great day!

The Ornament Exchange

A few days ago I mentioned that I would be attending my first ornament exchange. My mom and I purchased ornaments together at Hallmark on Thursday and the exchange was on Saturday at our church.


Saturday morning I did a 13 mile run (BRRRR) and wrapped my ornament (jk I made my mom wrap it because I stink at wrapping gifts).

My mom and I arrived at the church around noon and it was decorated so beautifully! We sang Christmas songs, had a Bible study, ate delicious food, and picked a number from a hat to get our ornament.

We had chicken salad on croissants, beef vegetable soup (above), chili, and cake + cookies.

This is the lovely ornament I received:“Be still and know that I am God” —> PERFECT for me.

Overall, it was a really fun experience and I can’t wait to go to the ornament exchange next year!

What have you been up to this weekend?!
