This has been another amazing weekend here at Bluffton. On Friday Scott and I went out to dinner and for a walk in the park, which was a great kickoff to what ended up being an amazing weekend. On Friday night I was on duty and me and the girls had fun just watching some stand-up comedy and taking random pictures.
Saturday I went out to lunch and shopping with two of my best girlfriends and we had a good time laughing and just enjoying some time together. On Saturday evening I planned a surprise date for Scott. We did some of his favorite things, watched some Scrubs, went out to dinner, watched a little bit of a documentary on Notre Dame football, hit up the coffee shop and watched his favorite movie. It was so nice to just unwind and laugh with him. We had a good time talking and just enjoying time together.
Today was a super busy day! All during the day we had a retreat with the new Marbeck Center Board. It was wonderful to get to know the new board a little bit better because we spend so much time together planning events for the year. We planned “Welcome Back Week” for next August and we have some awesome things going on – it makes me excited already to come back in the fall!
This evening was a big event for our residence hall! We had a block party for our hall (and the rest of the campus was invited to come too!) We blocked off the section in front of our hall and had a cookout, door prizes, corn hole, twister, a cake walk, ring toss, and cards being played for a few hours tonight and it was so fun! It’s great to take a break from homework to enjoy some outdoor activities as we prepare for another busy week. As the end of the year comes it gets crazy with homework and preparations for next year. The block party was a blast and a nice end to a great weekend.
Until next time,
Mary
