The house that makes you feel young

A milestone was reached in my life yesterday marking the end of fall term at George Fox.  The only thing that was on my mind was gingerbread houses.  A party was in order to mark the beginning of the Christmas break and the engineering students and I decided we should build some gingerbread houses.

Shortly into the party we began home construction.  The materials were graham crackers, m&ms, old fashion candies, white frosting, and gummy bears.  Focused minds surrounded a crowded table was a great sight to see.  The gummy bears became the citizens of a small town of gingerbread homes.  The bears were casually hanging out on their balcony, riding on their four cylinder sleigh, relaxing in a hot tub, and even riding a zip line between houses.  It was a nice break for me to spend some time having fun creating something with my imagination.  Quickly I had forgotten that I made mistakes during the school year and realized that a good GPA is not the end of the world. 

If you have spent too much time working the days away, take some time and do something fun with a friend.
