reformed university fellowship.

God has provided me with many wonderful opportunities in the short time that I've been here in Athens! 

One being RUF, Reformed University Fellowship.

... a  time to spend with other believers, building relationships grounded in the love of Christ - 

it's been an incredible blessing already!

This past weekend there was an RUF fall retreat with other colleges around Georgia, where we learned about God's word, His call to worship Him, and His command and desire of our involvement in His work in the world. 

We also played dodgeball, had a dance party and campfire, played in intramural competitions, and relaxed and got to know one another better.

all around a wonderful weekend!

My friend Jaynie and I! :)

UGA RUF!

a little bit of college life.

time for a catch up post.

surprise!

Last week was my roommate Laura's 19th Birthday. 

so her sister and I conspired together, and threw her a surprise party!

a wonderful success. 

We got a lot of stereotypical lame college hallway pictures.

finally, a roomie picture. 

long overdue!

down from the mountains

Since the drive from Athens to Louisiana is around eleven hours, there was no way for me to go home for Labor Day weekend. Originally, I figured I would be stuck in the empty dorm, aimlessly bored and lonely.

But then, to my surprise and utter excitement, my new friend, and hallmate, Perry invited me to go to the mountains with her family and friends!

For four days, I got to enjoy the Ocoee River, the Blue Ridge Mountains,

 and the company of some absolutely wonderful people.

Perry and her sister Margaret!

Perry! unaware of me and my camera.

Perry and Jenna.

just a few of the pictures I took. 

and now for some pictures that I appear in, courtesy of Perry's sweet momma, Miss Carol!

All the girls.

the end!
