-Dinner with Greg, Lais, and Sam. The evening was so perfect and I think we sat around the table for around four hours just talking and laughing. I loved meeting their daughter, Alicia, and her pet bunny. Other highlights included: a great spread of food, homemade ricotta cheese, Lambrusco wine.
-Thankful for yesterday's worship set at church and for being able to worship in-person.
-My long run this past Saturday (13-miles) went really well, considering that I was hanging out with friends the night before. I love the group of middle-aged men I run with ha! We are a steady 10:00-10:30 pace group.
-I somehow got on the Beyonce bandwagon and now I can't get off. I don't know why I've never really listened to her albums but wow. So good. I can't stop repeating some of her songs on the album '4'. Like why am I always late to the pop culture scene? Haha.
-After church service, Tina, Sharon, Janet and I went and had brunch at Andros Taverna (yes, it's true, I've been to this place 3x this past month). It was lovely to just hang with them and chat and talk with them.
-Janet and I went over to Sarah's place and went to her pool and then we grilled kalbi (courtesy of Janet's mom). The cuts of meat were so thick and WOWZA I cried. Literally, sometimes eating Korean food is such a gut-punch of happiness and I have really intense visceral reactions of joy. Honestly, yesterday was such a beautiful day of laughter and community. Sarah, Janet and I sat around the table having Makku (this very hip brand of Korean makgeolli) and ate and just enjoyed each other's company. Sarah also brought out this Taiwanese beer which was pretty good as well. All in all, a great time. After, we took out the guitar and worshipped and it felt so good to do so in a smaller, more intimate setting.
-We called Julian and told him how much we missed him. Oh, and I found out that Janet and Julian have been having these organic car chats and now I'm more motivated to pursue my friends more intentionally and really try to go beyond surface level hangouts. Maybe I'll lock Julian in my car and force him to have deep car chats with me LOL. Just kidding.
All in all, so much to be thankful for!
