Weekend Snapshot

My weekends normally have a typical routine about them - sleep in, grocery shop, laundry, church, and visiting with my boyfriend's family...This weekend was a little more special!

My best friend, Bekah, came to town and we got to spend the whole weekend together!! 

I had been counting down the days and getting antsy for the last couple weeks leading up to my best friend coming to town...

Flashback: Bekah and I met freshmen year of college about a week or so into school. She lived across the hall from me and we were both education majors. We had a class together, so one day she came over and asked me if we had any homework (which I later learned was just an excuse to find someone to talk to). I told her that we didn't and then she sat right down in my little make-shift living room.....and then never left! We became fast friends eventually sitting next to each other every day in classes, setting up similar schedules so we could have more classes together, going to eat together every day, spending nights in my room and then later roommate all the way through senior year, and more. We even started working in the same office at school together - she's one person I could spend 24/7 with and never get sick of. She is seriously my best friend soulmate - we have similar interests and values, but not to the point where we get bored with each other. We have similar strengths, but we compliment each other in different ways too, so our projects were always the bomb-dot-com!

Bekah graduated in May and already has a teaching job lined up for this next year - I get to encourage her and she gets to help me through student teaching! It is weird that I no longer live with her since we did for so long and it makes our weekends together so much more special.

I saw her pull up into the driveway and I ran outside because I was so excited! We spent the whole first night talking - who knows what about but it was great. Then Saturday we went to Target and found quite a few awesome teaching supplies. (You should go look at the current dollar section because it is amazing!) I took Bekah for a walk around the little neighborhood and showed her some cute little shops which then gave us just enough time to cool off before heading to the Brewer's game. We had some cramped, sweaty seats but it was so much fun! I know the Brewer's won, but I was having way more fun talking and laughing! **It was an added bonus that Bekah and my boyfriend were able to spend more time together! He is the third-wheel whenever we go out together** Sunday we went to church and Bible study together and it felt like old times. If you typically go to church alone you understand how great it feels to have a friend with you (and thanks for always praying for me). After that, we went home, ate lunch, and watched a little TV.

I was already missing her and she hadn't even left yet! Talking about church, Bible studies, future weddings, teaching, goals, plans, family, and more - I could not get enough. Bekah and I text every day and we do our best to get in a few FaceTime calls but that isn't the same as being together. When we get together all we do is talk because we can finally fill in all the little details about what is going on in every aspect of our lives. I love her dearly and I cannot wait to see what more God has in store for her life - you are so strong and I am so proud of you! Thank you for always sticking by me and encouraging me along too.

Thanks for the amazing weekend and cheers to when we and the rest of the roommates can be together soon! ❤
