The Adventures of L and H (part 1)

This weekend one of my closest friends, Laura Ann Steed, returned to town. We met in college at U of I and we spent this past year until May living together. In May, she moved to NC to begin Grad School at Duke. She is a first year Divinity student. Our friendship has been a blessing since day one. I am continually amazed at how we can go months without seeing each other, but when we are together it seems as if no time has passed at all. We are two peas in a pod and I treasured this time that we had together. I thought I would share some of our adventures with you! The picture above is from our meeting place halfway between Laura's parents House and Indy at this huge candle shop.
The weekend was filled with meeting up with people that we both love dearly. It began with Coffee and holy conversation with Sr. Jennifer. Three things that I love dearly!!! We had a great time. Upon our departure, we went to the monastery and met up with Sr. Nicolette. We had dinner and than played rummy with Sr. Catherine and Sr. Eugenia. We had a lot of fun, but it did get a little competitive. I was threatened at one point that if I went out one more time that I would no longer be prayed for. haha. Laura won both games, which Sr. Eugenia said that they always let guest win. I love that I am no longer considered a guest and I can not wait to enter. I desire that so much...if only I could figure out a quicker way to pay off my student loans. It is really nice to have friends that are open to going and hanging out at the monastery. It is a reminder to me of how blessed I am to have supportive friends and family on my journey. After that we met up with my sister and some friends at b-dubs. We hung out for quite some time and than went back to the burg (aka our house). I will share more about our adventures later this week..........
