In honor of leap year and having 29 days of February days, I’m listing 29 things I loved as a fellow this past month. 

  1. Career Calling Vocation Retreat. We were beautifully led by our King, Cameron through the theology of work, our analysis of abilities, motivations, and EQ. Thanks, King Cameron for jumping into all our shenanigans that week. 

  2. Shenanigans mentioned above: watching Divergent at the Career calling vocation retreat and having a legitimate voting and faction reveal ceremony. Linda May is our only divergent, but who is surprised? 

  3. Beth Finneran hosting the cutest Galentine’s night for us. She is the coolest! we crafted our hearts out and ate charcuterie. Oh, how I love being a woman! 

  4. My sweet fellows are all playing cupid and bringing me little valentines from my long-distance boyfriend for the week leading up to Valentine's! 

  5.  a spontaneous trip to Docksology. thankful for the Crutchfield’s hospitality and generosity with their home! 

  6. Bunner wore a chicken wing shirt to church. He’s trying to “change the culture”.  

  7. A relaxing weekend of dog-sitting for a co-worker

  8. binging John Mark Comer’s Podcast recommended by Ashley

  9. finishing our family systems theory class strong with our final genogram papers!

  14.  youth group Galentines night - everyone dressed up and the guys in the youth group served the girls dinner and dessert! It was super sweet. 

  15. Instead of RT for one week, simas and Gabi cooked a delicious salmon meal for our class and we watched Harry Potter! 

  16. We surprised Simas with a happy-half-bday-a-few-weeks-late chuey’s dinner. He never saw it coming!
