home away from home.

ahhhhhh, i had such a lovely weekend. caitlyn & courtney & i went to phil & audrey's house on friday afternoon. i gave them a tour of ribchester & showed them my favourite place-- the graveyard. then we went back to the house for tea {dinner}. when i told phil that i hurt my ankle climbing through the window, he decided it must have been a boy's window... you know me... anyway, we stayed up quite late. i skyped cece for two hours. with video! it was wonderful. we slept in saturday morning. then we went to the hospital to get my ankle looked at. we waited. & waited. & waited. three hours & an x-ray later, they concluded that i had a torn ligament. i have to rest & ice it. no more walking the loop. i'm so sad. :( they said no sports or high heels. i can deal with that. after the hospital, we went shopping in preston. lots of walking. pretty much exactly what i'm not supposed to do. but i was determined. we ran into a lot of capernwrayers. including roomies victoria & brittany with our friends david & matt. we shopped for a few hours then phil picked us up. we three girls went to dinner at a pub in ribchester while phil & audrey went to some festival. it was delicious. we had burgers. it's been too long. then we spent the rest of the evening online. the internet is just so fast there. & we could use youtube. we went to church this morning & there was a baby dedication. & food afterwards. quite a few people remembered me. it was nice. :)  we got back to school around three. we're exhausted but it was fun.

other random things.

• nighttime walks around the loop are my & courtney's new favourite thing. the first time, we took david with us. but there are usually other people out there, so we're safe.
• after the last one, courtney & i tried stargazing but there were clouds so it was more of a 'lay-in-the-grass-&-watch-the-clouds'. but it was nice. we had girl talk. we slept late the next day.
• caitlyn's booking our hostel for travel weekend now!
• as good as lectures are, i feel like God is teaching me more outside of lectures. i'm just learning a lot about myself. it's crazy. crazy cool.
• i had my first outreach last wednesday. me & three other girls sang & gave our testimonies at a ladies meeting at a church. it was actually fun. & we had tea with them afterwards.
• i got a package from my momma right before we left for said outreach. i saw the package on the table & yelped when i saw it was for me. man, that castle is echo-y.
• audrey did our laundry this weekend. she's amazing. :)
• i need to come up with a good story of how i hurt my ankle. the true story is lame. & embarrassing.
• people were playing touch rugby the other day. in the field. it was muddy. & so were they. it was entertaining.
• i forgot my phone charger at audrey's. but she gave me rain boots!

the end.
