My first Valentine's Day at St. John's proved to be a lovely one. It started out with me enjoying my heart donut from Dunkin' Donuts as I blogged in the Honors Commons, where I later got to be a part of the Honors Program's Valentine's Party. There, I got to quickly decorate a heart cookie (STJ-style!) before I had to go to class.
Afterwards, I met up with a group of InterVarsity students who were gathering to stick Valentine themed post-its up around campus with warm, encouraging messages and Bible verses on them, as well as the web address www.lovethatsticks.com. It was definitely a fun experience, and thanks goes to my friend Taylor, whose idea it was for InterVarsity to do this as an outreach opportunity! That night, I also enjoyed a special girls' fellowship time with some InterVarsity friends, including Amber, whose sister would have turned 19 that day; it was really nice for us to spend time together and think about the joyous celebration that must have been going on in Heaven with our departed loved ones, including Amber's sister, and my grandmother, whose birthday was also February 14.
