So many pictures.
Can I just say how fortunate I am to have been able to take part in LIFE 2016? It has been the greatest of events this summer and I'm so thankful for such a neat experience in a beautiful city. Aside from the daily construction, I would say that I could definitely live in a city if I needed to. Can't say no to the pretty lights.
We stayed in the President Hotel for a week. It's an old building but was remodeled just recently and it was smack dab in the middle of all the places we needed to be ... the convention center, the cutest coffee shop in town, and Chipotle!
The convention center, which was only about two blocks away, held literally 5 - 6,000 students. That's a crazy amount but it's neat to see how the Lord is able to orchestrate a time and place and chance for these students to be here.
...thankful for crossed paths, the people I met here that I probably would have never met in a million years, small talk and good conversations, developed relationships, and good good Jesus-worshippin' music.
I had the sweetest of conversations with Heather (on the far left). We conversed over coffee, jewelry, boys, and teaching. What an encouragement she was to me. Heather and her family raise funds selling coffee to help students in fund for internships. It's humbling to see their dedication in doing what they do!
They even bought donuts for us! Seriously had to contain myself.
I'm thankful for the time I got to spend with Rachel. Seriously, if it weren't for her, this trip probably would have looked a lot different. There was a time we were walking to a gelato shop (which ended up closing for good) and she stopped in the middle of the road because her sandals had torn apart. It was the funniest, yet, saddest time.
Ordered a Cinco de Mayo burger (which was SO good) and they totally got my name wrong. Haha.
My first baseball game ever was a hit! Haha. It's definitely safe to say that I enjoyed the experience, but not so much the game. Would I ever pay to watch one? No, never. If I got a free ticket to watch one? Yeah dude!
Finally ... the view at night from the hotel.
And to end this post:
