What a Wonderful Weekend! :D

Yep...ALL day long on Friday, I sat there, counting down the hours and minutes until I would be able to hop in my little red car and take off for home. Classes went by slowly and work even more so! I could not wait for the clock to read 6:00 so I could be done with Ankeny for the weekend!!!! Finally, it happened. I found myself signing out of work and getting in my car! The time had come for Kirsten, Ian, and, me to make the two and a half hour trek down to Bonaparte. Kirsten and I loaded our things, and then we went to get Sarah, who also rode with us as far as Fairfield. Then, we went to get Ian...whose phone and mine evidently have a small disconnect somewhere. We waited and waited for him to come. Finally, we asked one of the boys in the parking lot to go and get him...Yeah, he finally got the text that I had sent him about ten minutes down the road...Oh, well, we left, and that's the important thing. We stayed up into the wee hours watching a movie and just spending time together as friends. Saturday was a rather lazy day. I had a chiropractor appointment, we did laundry, I messed over Sunday's dessert, pillow fights were prevalent, Left Behind movies were on the agenda, a lot of Acts project, and again, in general, just having a really great time being friends. (I SOO wish that I could have wrestled with them, but, since the whole reason for the trip was my trip to the chiropractor, I decided against it...:( Oh, well! Once again, we stayed up into the morning talking and doing random things. Sunday we went to church! I love my church. The people there are wonderful. We sang special music "There is a Redeemer". Grandpa came for lunch, as did Lindsey, Bethany, and Alexxa. We had a super fun time. Again, more pillow fights, and food fights, too. :D We finally took off for Ankeny once again at about 6:30 Sunday evening. Oh, how short the weekend was! I wish that it could have gone on forever, but, alas, reality has once again reared its ugly head. Classes started bright and early at 7:00 this morning. Such is life! I'm so thankful that I was able to enjoy the weekend while it lasted! I hope that we can do it again...SOON! :D
