Hey Everyone! Long time no see! It has been a wild few months and moving faster and faster each day. I’ve had many ups that have been incredible, but I’ve also had a few downs... or “speed bumps” as I’d like to call it. Back in February I hit a few stumbling blocks, and by stumbling blocks, I mean I got Covid. It was a weird time for me. I wasn’t able to be in Raleigh with the Fellows and I had to miss some fun Round Tables and a retreat. Luckily, my symptoms were very mild and I was able to quarantine quick enough to bounce back. When I came back to Raleigh, things were in FULL SWING. March went by way faster than I expected and now I am wondering where all the time went!
Now time for the highlights!
My Best friend got married! March 26th one of my closest friends in Raleigh got married and it was incredible!
Silent Retreat: the Raleigh Fellows class had the amazing opportunity to go to St. Francis retreat center and spend some solitude time with the Lord! When I say that every inch of the place has been prayed over… I mean it!
I got my Vaccine!!! Woo hoo GO MEDICINE and SCIENCE! I am so thankful for the gifts God gives people to create things like this.
I went to another wedding and saw arguably the greatest band on the east coast aka Liquid Pleasure!
I wrote a genogram! Heyoooo, hard work pays off! My family’s story has been documented. I’d like to give a special shout out to my grandma who is convinced her Microsoft Word has been hacked.
My parent’s bought a beach house! Pawley’s Island is now officially home to the Dreffer’s. I cannot be more proud of them. Excited to make so many memories there.
Bachelorette Weekend WHO??? Brought all of my besties to the beach house and it was magical! Shoutout Brooke McAllister for being a trooper and breaking the beach house in with me!
I am so so thankful for ups. They make me hopeful and excited for what is to come. Cheer’s to April and Hallelujah for vaccines!
