This was one of the best weekends of the year here at Bluffton. The weather was beautiful, and spending time with my friends and Scott was amazing.
It all started on Friday afternoon. Scott and I went on a walk to the park and just had a good time talking and being together. It was nice to enjoy the sunshine and start the weekend off in a great way. After that me and my girlfriends all went out to dinner. We don’t get to spend as much time together as we would like to because we are all so busy so it was awesome to just get a chance to enjoy a night out together. We then came back to campus and headed over to the PALS Luau which was an awesome dance with a Hawaiian theme. PALS (Peer Awareness Leaders) did a great job of decorating Bob’s Place to look like a Hawaiian island. We had a blast dancing and just hanging out. After that me and a bunch of friends went over to visit Scott since he was on duty. We spent the rest of the evening playing cards and laughing. And, that was just Friday…
On Saturday I got up and was excited about Riley Creek Festival, which is one of the best days on campus. Riley Creek Festival (RCF) is a big festival on the lawn on campus. There were a bunch of student booths set up with everything from “make your own Hawaiian lei” to “make your own rocket” etc. There were also bands playing and huge inflatable games, like a giant obstacle course, slide and mechanical surfboard. We ate lunch at the festival, then spent the day in the sun having a good time with everyone. Me and a friend then made a trip to Findlay to get some random stuff, then back to RCF. After that was over, me, two friends, and Scott played Euchre, then had dinner and made a trip to Cold Stone Creamery in Findlay. After we got back from that, we laid out on the lawn to watch a drive-in movie that was the wrap up for RCF. What a great Saturday :). I spent the rest of the night working on a paper, and nursing my sunburns!
Today I woke up to another beautiful sunshiny day! After sleeping in, I went over and played games outside with Scott and a bunch of other friends. We played catch for hours and just soaked up the sun all afternoon. I came back and went to a dinner for the communication department, then I had a floor activity. We had a “mocktail party” where we served non-alcoholic cocktails and listened to music and played games. There were over 30 people that came, so we had a great time. It was an awesome way to wrap up my year of floor fun. Tonight Scott and I are going to go and look at stars on this clear night, which should be an amazing way to end what has been one of the best weekends I can ever remember!
I hope your weekend was amazing as well :)
Until next time…
