365 Day Meme: Days 192 and 193

192: summer or winter? why?

Summer because I love daylight (get anxious at night) and I love going bike riding on the nature trails and going to summer events/outdoor events. I also have positive associations with it because that's when we had off school.

193: what are you doing for the next big holiday. (i.e. Christmas, Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, Easter, Passover..)

Hmm... Halloween? Probably nothing much. I might wear my Renaissance corset, though I need a new lace for it. We probably won't get trick-or-treaters. Maybe we will watch horror movies.

Going Out with Church People (First Outside Visit of Teal and Eric)

I forgot to mention yesterday that we were asked out to breakfast with other young adults and one set of parents of a "young adult" after church. We went with to the nearby restaurant, but our group was too large and we waited a long time and still a table was not ready. I was getting anxious because the restaurant was super crowded so we went home when the group decided to try a different restaurant. It was nice to feel welcome, though!

Also last night we went on a long walk with church friends and their dog. On the way back we stopped at Oberweiss and bought milkshakes (super expensive!! But I wanted to be accomodating to our friends and not make them feel like they were singled out and we didn't want ice cream). Also the girl of the couple noticed I was very red in the face and thought we should head back to their apartment, inside, and she gave me ice water. She's a very sweet girl... Then she showed me their recent wedding pictures while Michael talked to her husband about various topics. It was fun. I'm slowly feeling less shy around them.
