A Family-Filled Weekend

This weekend was much needed, not only because I got a break from classes and homework but also because I was able to see family that I haven't seen in a long time! I am one of the youngest on both sides of my family, so many of my aunts, uncles and cousins have moved away from the area, so it's always nice when we can get together again!

My weekend started off busy, having to work both Friday and Saturday. Friday night, I worked the home women's basketball game, which was the first of the season. Basketball is my favorite sport, so I'm glad it's finally basketball season again! ONU won 77-49, so it was a great game to work! After the game, my roommate and I watched a couple episodes of "Friends" before calling it a night. Saturday afternoon I worked the women's soccer OAC Finals game. ONU won, which means they are OAC Champions and have an automatic bid into the NCAA III Tournament! The men's soccer team didn't earn an automatic bid into the NCAA III Tournament but they still made it because they were ranked high enough! So, both the men's and women's team are in the tournament and play Saturday, which is awesome!

After the game Saturday, I picked up my older sister, Kinsey, from Bluffton, where she is a senior at the University. We then headed home for the rest of the weekend. Saturday night was spent chilling at home and catching up with my family. I hadn't been home or talked to my family for a couple of weeks, so I had a lot to tell them! We had cheeseburgers for supper on our new grill, which is one of my favorite meals my parents make! I have never had a better cheeseburger than the ones they make! My mom also took pictures of my sister, younger brother and I for our Christmas card of us in our school shirts!


Sunday morning, I went to church with my family. Then, in the afternoon, we got together with my whole dad's side of the family. There was 31 of us total, not counting one of my cousins and his wife that could not make it. We took some family pictures because I do not know the last time we have taken a picture with our whole family. Then afterward, we had some food and hung out for a while. I played the game Code Names with my sister and some of my cousins that I had not seen in over a year or two! I also got to meet my new baby cousin, Indi, for the first time! She is one of the cutest babies I have ever seen! It was really fun to catch up with them and see everyone in one place again! I'm sure it was especially great for my grandma to see everyone again.

Sunday night, my sister and I headed back to college. The weekend went way too fast and although I was only home for about 24 hours, it was still a great time with my family!

    Sounds like a great weekend! Catching up with family, working at some ONU games and those homemade cheeseburgers all sound amazing. There's nothing like spending time with loved ones after being apart for a while!

Halloweekend!

I had been looking forward to this weekend for a while and it finally came, Halloweekend! Halloween isn't my favorite holiday but I still love being able to dress up and have fun. One of my favorite parts about Halloween is seeing everyone else's costumes, because some people come up with funny ones. This year, my friend and I decided to go as Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Boothe! I saw the idea on TikTok last year, so we have had this planned for a year now. I think it's so funny, so I have been looking forward to this weekend for a long time! My weekend started off slow on Friday night, I just hung out in my apartment with my friend and watched some movies. Saturday, I worked the men's soccer game. It was a very exciting game because it was close the whole time but we scored with just a minute left to win! And the same guy scored all three of our goals for a hat trick, so it was really cool! After the game, I wrote the game recap for the men's and women's ga...

Thanksgiving Break

Image
I feel like I have been going nonstop since the start of the semester, so Thanksgiving break was a much-needed time to relax and not worry about classes or work for a while! Over the break, I was able to travel to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina with my friend, Kennedy, and her dad, Tim, to visit Tim's aunt and uncle, Joyce and Jerry. I also went to Hilton Head with her over spring break last semester, so it was nice to go back! Tuesday, we spent the whole day driving. We left at 6 a.m. and didn't get to their house until 9 p.m. because there was a lot of traffic. When we got there, Joyce had made us chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese, so we caught up with them while we were eating. Since we woke up early that morning and had spent all day in the car, I slept so good that night and didn't wake up until 10:30 Wednesday morning. Wednesday after we got ready, we rode their bikes to Duck Donuts, which has the best donuts I've ever had. I'm not a huge fan of donut...
