Homecoming Weekend!

Friday night:Swing dance time! Rachel became my veritable dress store...borrowing is just like shopping except you don't have to pay and it doesn't collect dust in your closet after the big event. :)

Trying on all the dresses was definitely half the fun.

All dolled up:)

And of course there's food..."It's Houghton!"

Ah, the magic of colonial days.....future note to self-definitley need to have a random-dress 1800's day.

------------------------------------------

Saturday morning...... Mackenzie visits!

sisters! sisters!

They had quite the set-up for all the families visiting.

That night: girl's night out!!! (Yes I know it's sideways..I couldn't find how to turn it right-side -up ...sorry!)

Really, Corina, you're taking more pictures?!

*Gasp* "Real Food!"

Let us now share this food...

And now for fireworks and the SPOT talent show:

Whew! What a weekend.

Photo-shoot!

Photo shoot time! Anastasiya needed some pics around campus, but wanted a groupof us to go, so Lauren and I took her up on it. We all went gallavanating around campus and laughed like little girls:

Let me introduce you to Anastasi:she loves flowers



















And Lauren: who makes the most hilarious faces ever

EWWWW! A SLUG!

Give me back my coat!

Say Cheese!

We found the pagoda!

"I'll fly away oh glory I'll fly away..."



"Dancing.....dancing!"

I've never seen a blue fire hydrant before!

We love the chapel!

And the science center

Toes and fingers!

Loves physics

Oh, and one of the coolest things about campus is the verses on the cornerstones of the buildings

open up!

Sass and me!

Well the Spanish service I went to last Sunday was absolutely delightful. I found myself learning a lot of words just from the songs...and the music was awesome. The sermon was great to...something about how we're the family of Christ and need to remember to pass that on to the younger generation.

Thank you all so much for the letters and packages! They totally make my day! (Not to mention highly increased enjoyment to everyone enjoying the cookies!)

Goodies!

Well, this week was definitely academically more challenging...especially reading-wise... but it was still do-able. Got my first Spanish test back... :) Next week I'll be studying tons 'cause more tests are coming up. There's aslo this fancy Homecoming Banquet and tango dance/fireworks on the quad next week.

Friday I got to go to the Chamber Music concert....loved it...I like how they plucked the cello. And then tonight I went to the Cuerteto Latinoamerican....lovely. It was so cool. They did this rhythm thing by tapping on the violins and cello and this kind of "zing" thing with the strings...and it would morph in and out of the music.

Oh, and I joined Gospel Choir...definitely one of the best things ever. The directors direct the entire thing to being all about God and having excellence for him...and it's super fun and upbeat etc....went to my first rehearsal last Sunday night...first performance: this Sunday! AAAAH!

Oh, meet my girl in El Salvador.....it with Compassion and the first time I've sponsored a kid. I was praying about it and felt Gods confirmation. So she has tons of middle names and one of them is Abigail...so meet Abby.

Yours truly,
