ETBU :)

This weekend was AWESOME! On Friday as soon as I got out of polisci I hit the road and headed to Marshall, Texas! It took just under 4 hours to get there, but the drive wasn't too bad. I had downloaded a bunch of podcasts and so the drive went pretty fast and soon enough I was pulling in at East Texas Baptist University!

2 of my friends from camp this summer, Tiffany and Kasey, live together and so I stayed with them. On Friday we grabbed dinner at "The Caf" (aka...cafeteria?) and then went to an ETBU volleyball game. Tiffany took me on a tour of campus, and let me tell you, it was BEAUTIFUL. We then went to Walmart to grab stuff to make lunch on Saturday and rented a movie. We enjoyed a lazy night of hanging out and having a "sleepover" in their living room while watching Disney's Prom. On Saturday we got to sleep in (WHOOP!) and then went to the Fire Ant Festival. It was a beautiful day outside and we loved just walking around and looking at the booths, enjoying each other's company. We then went to the "Blue Hole" which was a beautiful lake that was hidden in some trees and spent a few minutes in awe of God's wonderful beauty and sharing what God's been doing in our lives. We made popcorn chicken, honey barbeque wings and green beans for lunch. All were delicious. Yes, I tried the green beans. No, I didn't die. :P We then watched Blind Side together and started Titanic, but ended up all taking naps. We woke up and went to another ETBU volleyball game, then went out to dinner. We ran by Walmart and rented another movie, and spent the rest of the night laughing and being our silly goofy selves. This morning we got up, went to church, went out for lunch, and then I headed back to cstat. (the drive back is another story... gotta love getting sick while driving 4 hours!)

This weekend was great and I LOVED ETBU. Not only was it a beautiful campus, the people were uber friendly, it was small to where I knew my way around (I still don't know my way around A&M), and it felt comfortable. I definitely see another visit there happening next semester!
