A Thanksgiving Story

Greetings from Jill and Jacki

It is currently midnight and Jacki And Jill are sitting in the kitchen patiently waiting for Grant, Katie, and Bowser to arrive. They smell like smoke (Jill chuckles.... and then chuckles some more) because they just came from some riveting games of bowling. Jill creamed both Drew and Jacki, scoring over 100 points two games in a row. 

They realize that they are going to be questioned thoroughly tomorrow during their Thanksgiving meal about what it is they are exactly thankful for. So, they are sitting together contemplating what they should say. Jill thinks aloud, "ummm, I have to think through this." Jacki encourages her to think really hard. "C'mon Jill, I believe in you, I know there is something." After thinking and trying really hard, she asks for another opinion. "Drew, what are you thankful for?".... "JESUS!" Shouts Drew from the computer room. Even after a second opinion, Jill is having trouble. She takes a break.

Five minutes later, Jill returns to the kitchen. She announces, "I think I am going to bed." "Ok Jill, you rest on in," replies Jacki. Encouraged, Jill agrees, "Yes, I am going to go rest!" 

And there the story ends. So to all a goodnight and a happy Thanksgiving.

Animal Noises






I have heard and seen quite a lot of new and great things since starting college. Sunday night I was sitting in my dorm room doing my homework and all of a sudden I heard bird, elephant, lion, and monkey noises outside my window. Some people from different dorms decided to have a little "safari night" at Calvin and communicated with each other across the dorms for about five minutes with animal noises. Along with things such as this, we are constantly being serenaded by the guy floors, and my roommate and I recently discovered that we can communicate with our friends from first floor through our shower vent. As for some unique experiences, I think my "modest monday" experience covers that (I'll let you determine what that means!) and just this week we had fight club in the BV basement (basically, we had a wrestling tournament on mattresses), got lost in a corn maze by ourselves in the dark, prank called people on their Calvin phones, played marshmallow dodgeball, and many other great things. 


We'll see what exciting adventures this upcoming weekend has in store :)
