He didn't make it to campus until like 5:30 so in the time after class and before his arrival, I did a lot of keeping myself busy, including taking a super excited selfie.
I tried to keep the weekend simple so we could just enjoy the time together. It had been a little more than a month since we had seen each other face to face. After a summer of working together everyday, that was a big shift.
We have a Chick-fil-A on campus since the CEO was one of our "world changers" a few years ago. Andrew had his very first sandwich, really enjoyed it, and dreamed about taking home packets of Chick-fil-A sauce in bulk.
After dinner, we walked around campus and Andrew got to see my dorm room. At my school, there are specific hours that boys are allowed in female dorms and vice versa. In my building, the female resident has to sign in the guy: His name, your name, your room, what time he signed in and then out. And, he has to leave his ID in a binder in a slot with my room number on it. He got his ID back when he left. Yep, it's pretty serious.
When all the touring was over, we made our way to the Hollands, who graciously hosted us this weekend. We spent a lot of the night talking with Jaye and Jess which was a great way to end Friday.
On Saturday, we all slept in a little bit, except Joseph, Jess' littlest brother who was up at 6AM playing video games. Luckily, he muted it so Andrew could still sleep on the couch. Jaye made crepes and a breakfast hot dish- what a treat! Andrew and I left for campus. When in Rome, do as the college students do and hang at McConn and drink some coffee. We got to see the men's soccer game, and we got there a little before it started to see that one of the players was proposing to his girlfriend. A bunch of his teammates wore white t-shirts with letters on them that spelled out "MARRY ME?" and she ran across the field- it was really sweet. I don't know how he focused on the game after that! In this photo, you will see the gaggle of girls checking out the engagement ring.
Andrew and I ate at Baldwin for dinner (so romantic) to really complete the college experience. Cue more walking around, and Andrew offered to play me the song he wrote for/about me. Yeah. It was beautiful and I smiled and I cried, but hey what else is new. Then it began to rain, so we made our way to the Hollands. We watched LOTR: Two Towers with Jessica. Neither Jess nor I had seen it before, so we had to ask a lot of questions. It was a little cheesy, but generally a good film. I was glad Andrew had seen it before and doesn't mind a lot of questions.
On Sunday, Andrew and I ate blueberry bran muffins that Jess' granny made. We planned out the return route and made our way to Andrew's truck that was on campus. It was tough to see him go, but comforting to know I will see him soon for fall break.
We had a great weekend and I'm definitely looking forward to fall break.
Also, Jess was kind enough to take 25 photos of us. I asked if she would take a photo, and thanks to digital film she can take a zillion and I can pick the very best one. Or, the four very best ones. It was bright and we were laughing, so our eyes are a little squinty, but que sera.
