Project 52 | Week 10 - Memory

This week's post will be a little different. Instead of creating a photo, I am compiling old photos I've taken over the years during my time as a student at Purdue. 6 years is a long time and I have had some of the greatest memories during this time. I have met some amazing friends, grown so much spiritually, and got married to Micah! I have been so blessed by God to attend Purdue. This post is not only for myself, but for everyone who shared these memories to enjoy as well. :)

First, my first spring break trip as a college student (2010); a group of my friends visited TN. This trip was marked by what we call the "Trail of Tears", when we foolishly thought we could hike, what was it, 11 miles up a mountain? Plus the miles it took to get to the trail head. Best idea ever! We can laugh about it now of course.



My favorite spring break was definitely the time when a group of my friends and I visited to Fort Meyers, Florida and Sanibel Island (2012):






In 2011 I got to visit Harry Potter world for the first time. It is so magical.


Then a second time in 2012...



And a 3rd in 2014 for Micah and I's honeymoon!


And yes there are plans for a number 4 in 2015 :) Some people visit Disney World every year, I prefer a place even more magical...


Over the years the people I've hung out have done some weird/silly things. 
Remember that one time we spun a basketball on Kyle's big toe? And created a human pyramid in the living room? (2011)



Remember that one time when Nathan put underwear from Goodwill on his head? He didn't know they were from Goodwill... (2011 Sweater Party):



I will never forget the time we made a 5-man "plank"... (2012)




Or when we fit 7 people in the bathroom (this is what happens when you're friends with a bunch of engineers and creative people):



This photo is by far the funniest "Decisive Moment"/ perfectly timed photo I've ever taken.
Behold, Jacob licking the Bean. Notice Kyle in the background. So weird, and so funny. (2012):



We've taken plenty of awkward "family" photos.

(2011):

 
Justin's face in the picture is the best.


Roomie Christmas photo, fire in the tv and all (2013):



Micah/Eric Unbirthday Party (2013):



There have been many fun parties!
Halloween 2011, being in my nerdy element:

Memories like these will stay with me for life!

Anderson Apple Orchard (2011):



Summer 2012:



Seeing the Hobbit at midnight and forming the "Fellowship of Baywater" (2012):




Geocaching with a large group and Alex acting like a dog... (2013)



The fun trip to Cedar Point (2013):




Summer 2013, before Nathan left to live in Uruguay:



Zombie 5k, the same day Eric and Natanya got engaged! (2013):




Cheesecake Factory 2014:



And of course some of the most life-changing events... :)

Graduation!! (2014)





And... finally, marrying Micah!



There have been so many fun memories with my brothers and sisters. When I look back like this, it brightens my day, makes me laugh, and reminds me just how thankful I am for these people. God is so good to me. Not only has He given me His Son, God gives me people like these in my life.
