So November! November was great! Started by going to DC for the National Fellows Conference! Loved it so much and loved getting to see friends from JMU & Young Life! Watching Father David Spickard on stage was so cool, it was basically like having our normal class but he got to tell every other fellow what we’re learning and that was so so special to me!
I finally got a weekend off! It was a much-needed day of rest, I honestly don’t know what I did that day but I know dang well that I slept in reaaaaaal good!
Next weekend we headed off to Ashley’s lake house for a retreat, watched the Dukes lose to App State (big sad, but we still finessed a bowl game), got to hear some great wisdom from Jason Young, and jumped in a freezing lake.
That Monday, before Thanksgiving, was my Birthday, and wow oh wow did the Fellows treat me well, I’d never felt so celebrated in my life! We went down to a food hall in downtown Raleigh and then an arcade bar where a bunch of us fellows entered an air hockey tournament, we didn’t win sadly but it was amazing!
Thanksgiving was great, my mom had back surgery recently and just throughout the week being home she was making great progress, starting to walk without a walker and yesterday she told me she’s feeling comfortable going down stairs now without anyone in front or behind her to watch!
I’m so excited to go home for Christmas and hang with the boys and my family, til next Time!
