I realized this morning that it's been a while since I updated my blog. We've had a number of events, so I'll give you a quick run through:
* November 18th was our annual Ladies' Fashion Xchange. We asked our girls to bring clothes, shoes, accessories, etc. they no longer wanted and gave them the opportunity to exchange them for "new to them" items. The girls loved going through the clothes and finding new outfits. We enjoyed yummy fondue and other snacks and had a great time ministering to our ladies.
* I enjoyed a few days in VA with my family for Thanksgiving. It was great to see my family again, both close and extended members. I also got some great deals on Black Friday and went to see the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas concert in Roanoke.
* Our Christmas banquet was Dec. 11. We had the event catered by Red Elephant, a local restaurant. The food was super yummy and we had a great time hanging out before final exams began.
*Mosaic Finals Cafe was held the following week for our students to study for their final exams. We set up tables and provided free wireless internet and coffee. We had around 20+ students come study and hang out.
*Christmas break I traveled back to VA to spend time with family. It took around 12 1/2 hours to get home without any problems. While home, I finished Christmas shopping, went to the dentist, saw a good friend, and celebrated Christmas with my family. I also celebrated my birthday with my parents and younger brother the day after Christmas since I wouldn't be home for the actual day. I left early on the morning of the 27th for the drive back to Tallahassee...it took 15 hours because of traffic.
*On the 28th, the Chi Alpha staff met in the office to finish preparing for the SALT conference. On the morning of the 29th, we got on the road to Jacksonville for the SALT conference. We spent 3 days soaking up knowledge of Jesus, worshiping, and fellowshiping with fellow believers from the Southeast area. I'll have a separate blog posted for that soon.
