Thankful List

 Wow, what a weekend. Here goes another thankful list: 

-Hanging out with Kolton/Christina, Michael, Brielle on Friday 

-Whiskey highballs 

-A conversation took place with a friend and I felt so proud of myself. I not only advocated for my own heart but empowered myself to move on and not be stuck in confusion or ambiguity. For me, I received all the answers I needed and I'm thankful that I can initiate hard conversations and sit in hard spaces. 

-9-mile run on a lovely day 

-Voice memos with a group of women that I deeply, deeply love. 

-Baking an olive oil chocolate cake for dinner tonight (Julian and I have dinner plans with Greg and Lais and I believe Lais is making Brazilian food for us!)

-Coffee from Metric 

-Earlier this week, I reached out to Pradeep knowing it was his birthday this week. I offered to babysit Silas so that he and Laura could go out and celebrate. Last night was SO much fun - Sarah ended up tagging along and we grabbed takeout from a Thai restaurant. Pradeep and Laura gave us full unlimited access to their wine fridge and told us we could also make cocktails for ourselves. Sarah and I got to talking and as we were wrapping up dinner, we heard the doorbell ring and heard Google Home announce that people were at the front door. We looked at each other in surprise wondering who it could possibly be; basically, Sharon and Tina were at the front door and surprised us and wow, I got so excited ha ha. We cracked open a $50 bottle of wine and essentially had girls' night while Pradeep and Laura were at dinner. And then! Pradeep and Laura came back and we celebrated Pradeep's birthday and ate some cake and sat around talking until like midnight. I drove home with my heart so full - I need to babysit more. 

Anyways, that's my thankful list for this morning. What's next? Here are some upcoming events: 

-Michael Sugihara asked me to lead this upcoming Leadership Cohort meeting 

-I said yes to Lynn's ask regarding co-captaining our church's marathon team for this year (which meanssss that I have another rendezvous with the marathon this year)

-Upcoming San Francisco trip with Janet/Julian/Michael 

Looking forward to all that this upcoming season has in store.
