The Winding Journey: Famous Couples

This past Tuesday Wittlingen held it's traditional famous couples night. Each girl in the dorm selects a 'famous couple' they want to dress up as for the night while their roommate/friend picks the guy she will go with. Erin (co-RA) and I then call up the boys and tell them who they will be dressing up as for the night. Both of them have no idea who their date is until they show up; then they find each other by their costumes. It was such a funny and fun night. Here are some pictures so you can get a glimpse of the evening!

We did a fifties, Happy Days theme for the evening.
Even though, half the kids had no clue what the tv show was!

Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Jordan's hair was amazing!

Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato....impressive!

Aladdin and Jasmine

Darla and Alfalfa

The Seniors, Ken and Barbie, Eminem and Rihanna,
Mickey and Minnie, and Peter Pan and Tinkerbell.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Calvin and Hobbs

Then last Friday we headed off to high school retreat in Lenk, Switzerland. It was a great place and time for the kids to get away and be refreshed. The speaker talked a lot about being vulnerable and healing from God. I'm praying the girls will have the freedom to be open, honest, and vulnerable with friends and mentors in their lives. I went as a small group leader since their leader could not get away for the weekend. It was great to see the Witt girls interact with their friends, usually I just see them with girls in the dorm. I also really enjoyed getting to know students outside of my dorm and leading a group of senior girls. This weekend, I didn't have the responsibilities of cooking, cleaning, driving, and disciplining which made it awesome concentrated time of great conversations and chill time with them:)
