a couple of weekends ago i was able to visit my friends and former teammates at messiah college. i was so excited to see everyone! especially since: 1) i hadn't seen them since may, 2) i now was sporting a lovely baby bump, and 3) i am now in a better place in my life than i was when i last saw everyone. i made the two hour ride with my sister as my trusty companion. i got to school and saw a bunch of my former lacrosse teammates who welcomed me with open arms. after each person got a chance to rub my belly, we all decided that we wanted to go apple picking. apple picking was so much fun, except that it wasn't a cool fall day like i had anticipated. it ended up being a hot, muggy day so we didn't stay out too long. we had enough apples for numerous apple pies, which we delicious (thank you kiersten and ari)! later that night, there was a dance party in the school's student union (fully equip with glow sticks!). i wasn't able to dance as much (it looked like more of a waddle haha) but i was able to see some of my other friends who had lived in the same dorm as me or that i had classes with. they were all surprised to see me with my baby bump, especially since no one really knew that i was pregnant. nevertheless, they all were very supportive, gave me big hugs, and wished me the best of luck. the next day the girls surprised me with a baby shower! it was so sweet of them! maddie and kayla set the whole thing up with games, prizes, crafts, and food. the girls all wished me luck and even got me presents (lots of cute little things for the baby)! the whole weekend was a wonderful, memorable experience and i'd love to visit again soon! :)
