Today was the most relaxed day of project so far. We had absolutely nothing to do except for our dinner at 6 pm. I slept in until 11!! It was beyond amazing!! A lot of us spent a lot of the day just hanging out, and primping ourselves for our dinner that the boys prepared for us for tonight. We all met in the lobby at 6, and the boys were all waiting for us there. They all looked so cute with their button up shirts, and ties. They escorted us to the apartments where some of our adult staff our staying for the project. The yard where we had our 4th of July barbecue is where they set up the dinner for us. We got there and all the tables had table cloth, and candles on them. David, a music performance major, was playing his viola for us. It felt like a fancy restaurant. Each table had a waiter, and they were so gentleman-like the entire time. We ate breakfast for supper!! It was such a great idea since the only breakfast food I've had the past month has been cereal. We had pancakes, eggs, fruit, and bacon (yummmmm). After we ate the guys put on a little skit, playing their own version of Family Feud, which was pretty funny. Then Jake gave a little speech on how much they appreciate us, and it was incredibly sweet. THEN when I thought it was over the guys came out with a rose, and personal note written to each of us. I literally teared up (because I'm a sap).
These guys seriously raised the bar, and my standards that I have for a potential boyfriend. I deserve to be treated like a lady by a true gentleman. They make me realize how much I've settled in the past. Tonight these guys were very genuine. They didn't have any other intentions like trying to flirt with us, or anything "fresh" with us. They were honestly their to serve us, and make us feel like women all should. Our boys on this project are all honest men of God. Nobody is perfect, but these men have been nothing, but genuine and polite for this entire trip.
Right now a bunch of us girls are chilling in our sweatpants watching New Girl on Netflix. I've never watched it before, but it's one of those shows you can become pretty addicted to. Tomorrow we're going to the Zoo, and whatever else touristy plans that they have for us! I can't even think that we leave here in a week. I love this place, and these amazing group of people I've met. This has been one of the best experiences of my entire life. AND Prison week is 2 days away!!!!! eeeeeekkkk!
