This past weekend, I had the opportunity to celebrate the joyous wedding of one of my small group leaders from Penn State. Words cannot describe how much of an amazing influence she had on my spiritual walk and growth. Not only were we able to talk about discovering God's role in our lives, discipleship and community on our one-on-ones, we also shared snippets of our lives that included relationships, friendships, and of course, school.

our small group (throwback to freshman year xD) <3 |
Since leaving PSU, both of us have moved onto other things in our lives--me, medical school in Philly and her, being a blessing to others with the campus ministry in Virginia. When I found about her and J's engagement, I spent a good 10 min screaming in happiness and then another 10 jumping off the walls in anticipation of their wedding (!!).
Fast forward a couple months, and D is now married (AHHH!!). Their wedding was one of most amazing, hilarious and energetic weddings I've ever attended. I didn't realize how much I missed the AACF community, but the wedding was a reminder of how much I love these brothers and sisters :) It was SO good seeing AACFers again and catch up on each others lives. Eating, laughing, dancing together again--what more could you ask for?

Anyways, I needed a dress for the wedding and just like
senior banquet, I used the event as an excuse to practice my sewing. This time, I wanted to actually sew a dress that wasn't held together only by safety pins, since 1) I knew there would be dancing and much more movement than senior banquet and 2) I had time!
I found an amazing site that gives you
FREE fixed size patterns to print out, and a huge selection of dresses. I'm not the fixed size, but I figured the pattern was a good starting point.
