Weekend Trip and The Dunking of Christian

Two weekends ago, Natalie, Kaleigh, and I took a trip up to Cleveland to pick up Natalie's boyfriend CJ. He was coming down for Natalie's 22nd birthday. We drove up Friday, dined in Cleveland, and then took CJback to Delaware with us.

[As the Rain Cleared....a Rainbow.]
















[Ghostbusters Building.]
Well, maybe not, but the castle-like piece of this building certainly makes it seem so.













[Severance Hall!]











[Bishops vs. Sparta!]
Our soccer team was playing Case's that same night. We found this flier on the ground as we walked to CJ's dorm.












[Chocolate!]
I got hot chocolate. Natalie got a double chocolate truffle.


I didn't take as many pictures as I should have, but I was distracted by a developing cold...

However, Saturday afternoon I was able to get a picture of my friend Christian being carried off by his fraternity brothers, and then dunked in the sulfur spring. Apparently this is a tradition carried out in Alpha Sigma Phi on our campus when a brother gets engaged. Chris' fiance Stephanie came for the weekend, so I got to see her too! I was very excited.
Stephanie has a blog as well. Check it out!















[Brotherly Song.]
The brothers sang a song to Stephanie before they dunked Christian.



[Dunked!]
The brothers cleared out pretty fast before Chris could get out and chase after them.








Saturday evening we played German board games! My favorite is Agricola. You build your own little farm in a series of turns, concentrating on crops, your house, animals, and more, hoping that after the last round, you have the most points out of any player. I won on my first game, a rare feat so I've heard. I just love building the little farm!

Natalie took CJ back on Sunday. It was a fun weekend, even though I got sick half-way through.
