So my thursday’s have been a little crazy the past couple weeks, which is why my favorite blog posts (a+a) have been neglected, so this week I decided to change it up a bit and post a+a on SATURDAY!

AWKWARD.

One of the few awk photos used for these posts that actually have me being awkward!

The text Olivia sent me after I tried facetiming her.

Inside jokes about Amish players.

Being frozen in my science class because I was sitting right in front of the window we had open. So that we wouldn’t smell the formaldehyde as much. worth. it.

My purpose in life according to Tucker: “Madeline, you exist to make people laugh”

How extremely gullible I am.

Having to bring my laptop on the retreat where no electronics were allowed.

Wandering around the Cub foods alone trying to find raisins. We never go to that store, we go the the cub by our house which is different.

I hit my head on a chair, so Tucker gets me a bag of frozen sunflower seeds to ice it. The bump definitely stuck around for a day or so though.

Two adults sending me to find two spoons, I could tell they were trying to get rid of me.

Trying to remember people’s eye color.

Getting a text from my small group leader, that was supposed to go to her husband. :)

Hearing one of the guys I know his definition of a crush: “The rush of hormones that cause physical attraction.”

While editing photos/slideshow for the retreat we all got tireder and tireder and as that went on we kept making jokes that weren’t funny and most of them had to do with dead bodies being stored in a cupboard we couldn’t open.

Sarah and I snuggling on the bus because it was so cold.

Explaining pinterest.

Crying with one of my close friends, on a bus where everyone else was super pumped up.

Having a 45 minute conversation all about food with a couple of guys.

AWESOME.

I have been so overwhelmed by God’s grace and faithfulness in my life, I drove a friend home yesterday and all we could keep saying was “God is SO good”. Such a blessing.

Swing dancing!

Hanging out with friends and playing board games for 4 hours.

When saying something you thought was gonna be reallllly awkward, turns out that they felt the exact same way, making it not awk at all.

Starting to work on an epic lace maxi skirt.

“When she talks, he stares into her eyes and  a small smile creeps over his face.”

Going a whole month without meat. It was great, I realized that I don’t need meat, so now I’m just going to eat it every once in a while.

Doing a certain swing move just because I was so scared to do it. Thank you Josiah!

Talking in my car with a friend and both of us not wanting to leave but we had to because it was late. :/

You can tell who my two best friends are by looking at my recent calls.

Having fun being a crazy photog at the retreat!

All of the awesome guys who gave girls their coats and blankets to keep warm on the freezing bus.

Energy to clean my room at midnight!

What’s been AWKWARD or AWESOME about your week?
