This past weekend was great...non-stop craziness. On Friday, my community had our Jesuit liaison over for dinner and we had to discuss the "recent" community changes and what not. But once that was out of the way, we got to talking about the B-port book group we started and the crapiness of B-port's poverty/city environmental injustices. It was a great and interesting conversation and we got to know our Jes. a lot more...so all in all it was a success.
On Saturday, we made our way down to Newark, NJ for the JVC Halloween party. It was a blast. Our costume was fun...we went as three of the four values of JVC: Alie was the "Holy Ghost" aka Spirituality; Melissa was "Superwoman" with SoJo causes all over her cape aka Social Justice and I was in a potato sack aka Simple Living...we were missing Community...appropriate, right? Too soon? hahahaha...it was a hit and such a comfortable costume! :) It was fun to talk with other JV's and get re-united with people we hadn't seen since orientation. It was crazy to have to re-hash the whole going from 4 roommates to 3 story with everyone, but once it was out of the way, we had a blast.
Now onto the preparation! We are preparing for the arrival of our new roommate! All of the second years we talked to at the Halloween party said she was awesome so she has a lot to live up to!!! Kerry will be arriving tomorrow afternoon. I've cleaned my room and Alie moved a bed into it so we're pretty ready for her to get here. All that's left to do is make welcome signs and decorations. It's weird sharing my room...having "my side" and everything but I'm excited for her to get here.
AND my kids are going to have half days tomorrow and Wednesday and then a full day on Thursday (best birthday gift ever!). So that's about it...a crazy weekend and insane switch from 4 community members to 3 to now 4 again. Never a dull moment, I tell ya! Loves!
