Chelsea Meagan had a great time at Six Flags in Dallas while I stayed back in Waco. We found out about Take a Date after I booked my airline ticket to come out for the Alpha Lambda Delta induction, and it was fine. I used the day to catch up on reading that I needed to do for my book project. I slept in, read over breakfast at Denney's and then back at the hotel, took a wonderful (although windy) walk about campus, stopped in the bookstore, headed back to the hotel for more reading, and then went to the mall to build a bear for Ellie-Kate. The ones in the bookstore were not nearly cuddling or friendly enough looking so I headed for Build a Bear instead! However, I did find two books at the bookstore that were hits! One book, "Heaven is for Real," caught my eye, and I had to buy it! I literally read the whole thing in one sitting that afternoon!!! It was AWESOME!! Cannot recommend it more highly! Very inspirational!! Another book, about Bruiser, the Baylor Bear, has definitely been a hit with Ellie-Kate ever since I gave it to her.
I have to admit that I felt more than a bit guilty for enjoying such a productive, inspiring, and relaxing day... However, I'll also admit that I truly enjoyed the chance to read, relax, and shop for an entire day. It doesn't happen often, and the day was a wonderful gift!
