Blogmas 2017 Day 16 (Dahlonega adventures + alpha reader party)

This morning I picked up my friends Anna and Lydia and we went to Dahlonega, a cute town close to us. We took pictures, ate lunch, and looked around in cute shops. They’re the best kind of friends because we’re always laughing hysterically, but then we also had deep conversations about our atheist/agnostic friends and how to approach and witness to them.

The cutest sisters wow

Anna: “I probably look stupid but I feel boho and hipster”

We made Lydia try on a crazy dress and bought marshmallows covered in chocolate that looked cute but actually tasted disgusting. (Ignore my thumb scar haha)

I was exhausted when I got home, but I had something else fun… my friend Sara from R5:3-5 (a blog that encourages teens with chronic illnesses) finished writing a book recently, and she threw a Skype party for all of her alpha readers! I enjoyed reading her book as she wrote it, and the Skype party was so much fun. Then my family went to a holiday party and left me at home with Sophie because I was way too tired to leave the house again–we did fun stuff like laundry and wrapping gifts for the kids’ Christmas party I’m planning at church next week. Now we’re going to read The Unexpected Everything (Morgan Matson), journal, work on memory verses, and go to bed. (Also, I just want to note that considering how many cookies I’m home alone with tonight, I think I have shown remarkable restraint.)
