after the last storm, i got snowed in at neumann. it was such a great time. it made me release the inner child and just go wild! the first night there, me and about 20 other friends went sledding at 1 am, by the mother house (our lady of angels convent) on campus.
it was such a great time...and some SISTERS joined us. the franscian nuns that bless our hallways with their presence came sledding with us at 1am. WHAT?! and they brought us sleds! HOW FREAKEN COOL IS THAT! one was actually 79 and probably more energetic than us "kids" were. it was probably one of the best moments in my life! and to finish off such a beautiful night, they made us hot chocolate at 4 in the morning and then went to the top of the convent. Now this convent is the highest point in delaware county and what a sight to see! if you go to the top of the building, you can see pa, nj, and de all at once! HOW WILD! we brought our hot chocolate up with us, and sat with nuns and watched the sunrise! it had stopped snowing for merely 5 minutes while the sun was coming up. it was beautiful. the sisters were beautiful. and i felt beyond amazing.
We chatted until 7am when the nuns kicked us out so they could go to daily mass. I asked if I could join them, so i sat in the front row with my new found friends and prayed with them and for them. it was the most peaceful morning i've had since THAT morning. and it was the best thing EVER.
Franciscan sisters are so great!
