A weekend in Champaign

It's been a long time. Since august actually. So it was really fun to stay in Champaign for the weekend.

Friday we had thanksgiving dinner at the church, so we'd been cooking up a storm at our house. I had two pies in the oven, and Gab had just left to take the food to church when I get a phone call... Yeah, she got a flat tire and needed somebody to come get our thanksgiving dinner. I didn't want to leave my pies, so while BJ put on the spare, Matt came and got the food. Even though he was "busy"- so sweet of him. :) The dinner turned out great! There were several international students there for their first American thanksgiving...good stuff.

Afterwards us girls were sitting in our hallway discussing how lucky we are to know such great guys! They change tires, come get food out of the blue, help with dishes, clean up tables- they're just plain amazing!

Saturday I ran some errands and bought wedding presents...woot...the mall was packed because it was Dad's Day weekend. Then I got some homework done, surprisingly. Matt, Markus, Amber and I went out to eat at Baker's Square before the Varsity Men's Glee Club concert and barely made it back in time. The concert was so good! They are so good! And they sang this super cool version of Nkosi Sikelel' Afrika/ Africa that blew me away. Wow. We sang Africa in HS jazz choir, and it was cool then, but man- their version was phenomenal!

Church was great- so good to be in Champaign for a change. :) I've been studying almost ever since....yuck. I am not a fan of Biochem. It's going to be a long week.
Blessings.
