winter ball

December is such a beautiful time of year. The snow falls and makes everything a winter wonderland. The wind, though terribly cold, adds a natural rosieness to everyone's cheeks--a fresh look that cannot be achieved with makeup. Everything seems to whisper of beauty and romance.

Just before a hard week of finals, Maranatha's choirs and orchestra performed Handel's Messiah. It was amazing to see how many families from the community came to hear our students perform. It was as beautiful and romantic as the pure white world outside the Gymnatorium. Kristin, Kat, Khristina, Tim, and I went together on Friday evening to enjoy the beautiful production. It was a beautiful "winter ball".

After the concert, we met up with Jarid and then headed over to Watertown Bowl with about 50 other Maranatha students for a different kind of winter ball: late night of bowling--11:30-1:30 a.m. We had so much fun! Some of Jarid's roommates and friends joined us so we could fill two lanes. After the first game we enacted the "push-up" rule--for every pin left standing at the end of your turn you had to do one push-up. I'm not going to lie, I had to do the most. I can tell you, however, that I had the best form--whatever that is worth.
