Getting in touch

I think this post spurs from a small conversation that I had with a friend over Google chat earlier.

It wasn't anything earth-shattering, just a quick exchange on how things are going with us - your usual friend "catch-up" on life, since we haven't talked or seen each other for awhile.

I am getting together with her to do something that I used to LOVE doing, but have since stopped due to working full-time and not having any room to leave out the supplies, or make a big mess, painting! I am SO excited! Firstly, to see her again and secondly - to engage in an activity in which we are both passionate about! The arts!

I am thankful for friends.

Especially when friends come out of the woodwork and remind you that they are there and that you need some friend time!

Friday night was another one of those realization moments!
Derick and I hosted our very first "couples hang night" at our place. It was a lot of fun! We had over three different couples. We talked over some light appetizers and then broke out Battle of the Sexes around 9:30pm and played till 12:30am! It was a blast! The conversation came easily and everyone was involved. It was concluded at the end of the night that we should do them more frequently and maybe switch-off houses and hosts. I hope that it works and we can carry-on this new excitement!

Derick and I are trying to plan out our long weekend coming up this weekend. We have started a list of things that we were thinking of doing. It ended up looking more like a summer "to-do for the house" list than anything! I am also starting to think that planning a trip or a vacation is often more work than the actual going and taking said trip or vacation. I am hoping at the end of the summer - or the start of the fall, I will be able to go and visit my friend Ben, in Texas for a few days! I told him that I would come and visit when he moved down there and that was almost 2 years ago...but it all depends on our money situation and what I am able to do and when. Can't really do anything or go anywhere right now. Soon, hopefully, soon!

Alright, well, I think that is about all of the updating that I can do for now. I just really wanted to get an update up!
