If it wasn't apparent by some of my previous posts, I had a beautiful and wonderful fall break. There was lots of laughter and many good talks, with a little dash of studying thrown in there for good measure. Best fall break to date!

Let's just talk for a moment about how gorgeous this basilica is!! Yeah. I know.

Notre Dame was playing Navy at home while I was there, so our Saturday was taken up by tailgates and the game. It rained cats and dogs during the tailgate, but thankfully stopped before the game.
The Blue Angels did a fly-over, and Notre Dame won the game, so I'd say it was a great day!

My semester in Europe has made me completely OK with travel, and so I took a solo bus ride to South Bend. A 12-hour bus ride. I had plenty to keep me busy (like reading the Catechism ... and reading Rapunzel Let Down ...). I also quite enjoyed people-watching. There are some gems to be found in buses. Like this guy:

I get to make another bus trip next weekend, as I'm going home for a couple days to attend my elementary school's big fundraiser dunner / gala / auction. The event is always a lot of fun, and I really enjoy seeing my former teachers and some former classmates. I wasn't planning on going this year, but after I decided not to, I realized how much I really wanted to. And so I am. Megabus = the way to go!

I have had an intense desire to do crafts lately. Unfortunately I have no resources with which to do crafts here at school, but I'll be home for 2 1/2 days next weekend and then for 6 days over Thanksgiving... I feel like that'll give me plenty of time to do crafty things!
So I'm scouring my Pinterest boards for simple, fun things to do. I'm thinking this or this or THIS. (The last one is probably what I'll start with; there's an unfinished set of drawers in our basement that would fit perfectly in my room. We'll see!)

I honestly don't remember if I shared this already, but even if I did, it's worth sharing again!
My Crossroads team is having a reunion!
2 days after Christmas, some number of them (5 + me as of right now) will be coming to my house from all over the country! We've started to come up with a calendar and activities... one of them involving cameras and RVs and the Crossroads office. Yes, it should be a good time.
