three dates. one day.

yesterday i had three 'dates'.

don't worry, none of which were romantic.

here is the rundown:

coffee with josiah

lunch with sarah {leader from peru, 4 years ago!}

dinner with brook.

of course, i only got pics of one of the events.

josiah and i had an awesome conversation {he's taken}.

we talked about life and everything under the sun.

he is such a great guy and doing great things.

his girl is super lucky, and she knows it!

at one point, he made a comment that i am so mature, it's intimidating to guys.

which is funny cause i have been analyzing why i have had no dates.

he was super encouraging and told me to keep doing what i am doing.

then sarah.  haven't seening that girl in 4 years!!

holy cow, was it awesome seeing her. we talked about life and caught up on, you know, 4 years of life.

got to meet her husband briefly and he was awesome.

it brings back so many memories of peru and how lost i was before that trip.

and how i connected so well with her, as we struggled with the same things.

she was such a big part of that trip. how amazing to get to meet her all these years later and pick back up!

then dinner with brook was amazing, as usual.

she is such a sweet heart and i am so blessed to know her.

she said several times that i know more than most people in her life.

what a privilege and honor for her to say that! 

we could talk for hours and hours and be totally ok with it.

when she came into my house, my mom said: 'wow! you're just a baby!'

not that thing you want your parent to say to a friend. jeeze!

we tried the new mexican restaurant and it was pretty good!

the company?  even better.

then today i went to columbus with leona.

we had an amazing time and i love her lots.

we even discussed our love for black men. so naturally, a black man would check us out at the register.

and man, was he dreamy! and he paid for leona's lunch {i already paid for mine}.

he totally locked eyes with me for a long time.  

yes, just take a minute to imagine it.  it was heavenly.

we got our hair cuts and then shopped at whole foods.
some lady helped us in the tea isle and i could have talked to her for hours. i even got a couple new teas to try!
then got plants and headed home.

and me, being horrible with directions, took us to the WRONG place. in the opposite direction of where we needed to go.  how embarrassing!

now i'm packing for tomorrow, when i disappear from the world.

deactivating facebook and all.

hopefully i'll blog some.....i make no guarantee.
