The girls headed out to a thrift store and once we made it there all of our burdens were released. What a blast we had there!!! All of us found awesome dresses for under $5 some were even $1.98!! We came back to the center and the boys were all gone. Whoohoo~ We ate left overs, cookies 'n cream ice cream with peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies, and pretzels dipped in frosting. We got changed into our "new" dresses and left to head over to Kroger and Walgreens. We picked up a couple more groceries and bought make-up and nail polish. We got plenty of flattering remarks from everyone. Jeanne asked everyone she met, "Do you like?" It would catch people off guard and they would ask her to repeat it, but she was too excited! She stared at them with huge innocent eyes and I would repeat to the person, "She wants to know if you like her dress." Jeanne and all of us got tons of complements.
We braided each other's hair (or styled it some way), put make up on each other and wore bright pink lipstick. We had a dance party and created a choreographed dance to Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror." We showcased the dance to the boys when they returned for the evening. This morning I drove Ashley to the Greyhound station at 6 a.m. Ashley has an interview for a summer placement this afternoon and had to get back latest this morning. We've definitely missed her today.
My all time highlight of yesterday and today, besides the service projects we did, was attend the live shows of Bella Fleck (Thursday at noon) and Hackensaw Boys (today at noon). We had a great time!!!! Both shows were free and it was a lovely break. Music can be so therapeutic!!!
Tonight we are having tacos for dinner to be prepared by Clay, Josh, Adrian, Chris, Jessi and Emmie. We can't wait for dinner even though we stopped by for soft serve icecream cones a few hours ago... This has been, overall, an amazing trip. We love our buddies SO MUCH and we love all the people that helped us make this trip possible. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I can't believe our trip is coming to an end!
Best Buddies love,
Alice
