MACC Attack!

What a wonderful weekend in Maryland we just had! I thought I'd put up some pictures. We had about 50 or so Penn State students that went on this retreat. I really enjoy the MACC because I get to go and kind of be a participant - it was another school's role to run the retreat this year, so we mainly got to attend the meals and talks and just listen and hangout with people. It was a nice weekend - it seemed to go by so quick! One of the girls in my study, Dana, got to go. It was nice to have lunch with her on Saturday. The speaker spoke on apologetics as well as the affects that modernism vs. post-modernism has on Christianity...seemed appropriate since I learned a lot about that this summer. Here's a photo of one of the meetings.



Here's a photo of some of the Penn State staff sitting during a talk.



It was sooo nice because Nate got to go this weekend also. He was on kitchen staff the whole time so I didn't see him too much, but the times I got to I really enjoyed. = )







Also just to keep you all updated on Nate and Maryn trivia, we celebrated our one year anniversary of dating on January 18th : ) This was our 2nd MACC conference as a dating couple. It was fun to know we have been together for a whole year - time has flown!





It was also a fun weekend because our whole EDGE team was reunited.



Janeen, Sam, Meghan, myself, and Nate.

It was good to have everyone back together again for a weekend! Sam and Nate came from their jobs in Maryland and the rest of us traveled from Penn State.

On Saturday night there was a beautiful sunset over the bay.





All in all it was a lovely weekend. Currently we are anticipating a big snow storm to hit State College - accuweather predicted 18-20 inches of snow... I have a feeling that won't happen...ha.

Till next time!

Ummmmm....how has it been an entire year and I just found out you are dating Nate! I'm thrilled for you...I wondered what smart guy would realize what a catch you are. Nate is a great guy...how exciting for the two of you. Looking forward to what the LORD has in store.
