[insert creative title here]

Every Thursday night is Institute down here for the YSAs. 

It's always, always always a great night.

and tonight was certainly no different! 

I don't know what it was about tonight but my ears were in full force and it was an amazing lesson! 

It was on DC 88 [the second coming] and I learned SOOO much.

I was asking questions the whole darn time. 

And Brother Weight, bless his heart, answered every single one of them beautifully! I swear that man knows everything.

Dana and I walked out in absolute awe of everything we just learned.

So that was awesome...

and you know what else is awesome?

My friend Lauren Bleggi and I just signed up for the annual Wilmington Dili Dash on april 23rd. 

and ya know, I am pretty stoked about it!

It's a 5K run/walk around downtown. DOWNTOWN! my favorite place ever. 

equipped with a free tshirt (I'll do anything for that) and fooood.

It will be excellent. we are pumped.

I'll leave yall with this fun picture. It was a few weeks ago. But this is Mary and I on our run downtown... 

not the best quality but you'll get over it.
