Festivities!

I started another blogpost, but this one is more fun to write so I’ll share this first. And another bonus is that it’s mostly pictures! Enjoy 😊

On Friday, Cru hosted a Fall Festival for its employees and families. I’ve never been to a “real” Fall Festival (where the corn maze is real and you have to pluck your pumpkin from the pumpkin patch), but Cru put out quite an effort to replicate a Fall Festival in 85 degree humid weather on the green lawns. There were patches of pumpkin and a maze with corn painted on it.

And I got to help with the hayride! I drove a “tractor” around headquarters while the storyteller (another volunteer) sat on some hay and told harvest jokes and stories (How do you fix a broken pumpkin? With a  pumpkin patch!).

The next day, we exchanged our country-style clothing for some more presentable things for a wedding! Corrie, our intern coordinator, got married and invited all the interns to participate. It was fun, and I helped cut the cake and clean up. Moral of the story: catering is cheap, but what do you do with all the leftovers?

They Got Married!!

Before & After

This next one is a collage of the interns on August 10th, and today, October 26th (minus two girls who are out of town this weekend). Nothing has changed, yet so much has changed.


More reflections to come, but that’s all for now! Hope you’re all having a restful weekend.
