Mennonite breakfasts and pumpkin patches :)

Today was lovely :) I woke up at 7:45 to get myself presentable. At 8:45, Nicole {one of my SAO sisters} picked me up and we went to this cute little restaurant that was run by Mennonites. While I interviewed her, we enjoyed some delicious blueberry pancakes with blueberry syrup with sipping on out hot beverages of choice {mine being tea, her's being coffee}. And to add to the loveliness, my meal was under five dollars! Love that(!), and the date in general :) That needs to happen more often. I got back to my dorm around 10:30 I suppose, at which point I did very little homework and quite a bit of hanging out in Brianna and Brittany's room. Around 1:30, I set out for the parking lot where I met up with some more of my sisters {Courtney, Brandi, Liz, and Stephanie!}. We ventured out to the lovely rural terrain for some fall festivities. We rode the cow train {which supplied me with a pretty gnarly bruise-in-the-making}, took a ride on the carousel, went down a tunnel-slide, and took a hay-ride over to the pumpkin patch. I picked out a decent sized little pumpkin, but as I was standing in line I saw the cute little baby ones! So what did I do? Well naturally I placed my pump from the patch on the table and traded it in for a small albino pumpkin and a tiny orange one :) Brandi actually did the same thing, haha. My total... $0.26. Brandi's... $0.27. Epic win? I think yes! We left shortly after that, and upon our return to campus Liz and I went to E-hall for dinner. I interviewed her as well, and it was just an overall good time :) I came back to my dorm room and was only here for a good 15 minutes before leaving again to meet up with my small group. We had a brief hang-out sesh at Betsey's house :) I left early with Whitney though, because I knew if I didn't I'd be up later than I already am! Look at this post... so lengthy! At any rate, I got to skype with Heather tonight. That was splendid as always :) I believe I shall take my leave now. I am a sleepy bear! Goodnight, dear friends! I love you!

Here's one of Nicole's favorite verses: {I'll post the other one tomorrow!}

4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
{Philippians 4:4-9}
