My Spur of the Moment Adventure & Phonothan!

This past week has been awesome!

(My fellow callers and I at the right. I'm the tallest in the back!)

Allison (who is also a blogger) invited me to accompany her St. Paul to watch her high school volleyball team in the state tournament. I dropped all of my plans spur of the moment on Friday to have a fun girl's weekend with her! We met her mom for the first game on Friday. We stayed at a cute little hotel near the capitol. The next day we went from shopping to more volleyball to more shopping.....the night ended with an adventure through Rochester as we hunted down a Starbucks before heading back to Luther. We also sang the entire ride home for one killer weekend!

Today I worked hard to get all of my homework done early because tonight was Phonothan! Ten girls on our floor in Brandt volunteered to call alum asking for donations through the Luther College Phonothan! It ended up being a ton of fun! We decided to dress "crazy and gaudy" to get us in the right fun mood! We looked hilarious- big hair, crazy clothes, and tons of makeup! Definitely the best dressed there! We called from 6:30 to 9:30, and it went really well. Christy even got someone to donate $1,000, and we surpassed our goal for the evening! Plus, I got to call a lot of my family which was really neat!

The last two days, we've seen continuous snow which is crazy considering the 70 degree weather at the beginning of the week. It finally feels like I'm in the north! I can't believe I have five months of this- here we go!

I hope everyone has a warm, fun week!

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfolding beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit which is of great worth in God's sight." -1 Peter 3: 3-4
