So I had a fun and very busy last three days! Friday I had two classes and between them I met with Kaitlin for breakfast, then after I met with Matt (Bible study leader) for lunch. We had a nice little conversation and had a good time hanging out with each other and just getting to know one another. Then after coming home for a little bit, my friend James came over and we walked to Starbucks and talked for a few hours. He pretty much told me his life story, which I loved because after I felt like I knew him so much better than before! After he walked me home, I met up with my friend Spencer for dinner in the caf, and then me, Spencer, James, Jack, and Kathy all went to an amazing worship service in Petaluma called First Friday then went to In N Out after. That was probably one of the best days I've had since moving up here!
Saturday, Chloe and I had friends visit from Monterey, Lindsey and Caylee. Each of the girls we know from our hometowns and they just happen to be friends from college too! So we took them to Mary's Pizza Shack in Santa Rosa... Where I ran into the creepiest man who had dread locks from his beard and his head. He told me my shirt looked like Where's Waldo... Needless to say I freaked out and ran to my friends. Why do I attract all the weirdos?! Anyways, after that we went to see The Box (possibly one of the weirdest movies ever). Then we came home, talked, and fell asleep pretty late.
Today I volunteered at church with the preteens then I headed home and hung out for a few more hours till the girls had to head home. Then Kaitlin, Chloe, and Chelsea decided to go to Bodega Bay. I didn't feel like going so I stayed home, read, and took a nap. When I woke up I had a text from Spencer asking me to go to church with him in Petaluma. So I got ready super quick and we met up with his friend Janelle who drove us. That church reminded me SO much of The Well... I cannot wait to come home now! But after service, Spencer walked me to my room and he ended up staying and we talked for about an hour and a half while watching TV on and off with Chloe. I feel like he's a really easy person to talk to... It's nice to know that I'm making genuine and reliable friends here. It's hard when you have to start over and it's not like home anymore, where you've known your friends forever and you have a shared past. Now I have to ask more questions and listen closer when people tell me about themselves. But I must say that I am blessed to be meeting such amazing people here (:
