So today I have been absolutely euphoric. First off, I won a $100 Visa Card today. So exciting. Then tonight was the first HomeTeam meeting. I was invited last week and have been waiting with anticipation since. In fact, the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning was "Eeek! Tonight is my first hometeam!! What will I wear? Who will be my friends? How early/late should I arrive?" You know, the usualy questions. Hee hee!!
It was perfect. There were 28 Christian singles!! I didn't know that even exsisted. AND the most unusual part was that every one of the people at the Home Team were beautiful. Not that that is important. But let's be perfectly honest here. How many single people, our age, are pretty AND Christians? I was so surprised. The girls were pretty and friendly. The boys were tall and wise. I really felt it was a dream (I also really feel I should stop calling them boys and start referring to them as guys.)
I have been so excited all night. I waltzed all the way to my apartment. We are supposed to meet before Church on Saturday and then go out to dinner afterwards. I almost feel like I am going to PDBC choir practice and dinner afterwards. Ahhh, alas I know nothing could replace those good memories. Good night my dear friends. I sleep soundly tonight knowing that God has given me a gift of Christian (single) friends.

Miami and more...
I am still not as regular at posting as I should be. So my last post, I realized I kinda left everyone hanging about my little ovary. She is fine. She was just throwing a tantrum. The tests all came back negative and the only thing they found was a 2 cm cyst which of course goes away each month. I was in such pain I felt sure it was something else but praise God it wasn't anything.
The computer is fine and working wonderful now. I am still working on websites in my spare time and love it.
My tooth is fine. It also isn't turning black or breaking off ... yet.
My Cheesecake Factory boy and I are having relationship problems. Well, I guess it's more that I haven't been back to the restaurant and apparently you have to communicate in a relationship. Sigh... it was a good relationship while it lasted (he he!!).
My other boyfriend "buzz" has been mercilessly flirting with me yet tells my intern that he has a girlfriend. He winks at me across the store, rubs the back of my arm, hugs me, etc. Does anyone think it's a little peculiar that he doesn't ever tell me directly that he has a girlfriend? Everyone else apparently knows. Alas, I am afraid I might have to end this torrid love affair. I mean if he does dump the girlfriend, realize that I am the one and then date me, he could forget to mention that I was his girlfriend, you know what I mean? My internal relationship coach, Pearl, tells me I need to let this one go.
I've had this conversation with so many of you before but it is just so hard to make good friends now that I am older. I have been trying to go to church, make friends at work, the pool, the mall etc but nothing like the friendships from H-S-H-S-U-U. A few weeks back my church made an annoucement that the singles were going to Miami to help Fellowship Church Miami do some construction and redecorating. I thought this will be a great way to meet new people and get back into Mission Trips. Remember how fun those were in high school? Kristy, remember going to Mexico? Anyways, I went over Labor Day weekend and it was so fun. I made a ton of friends. Last night I went to church and saw some of them. They invited me and Amy out to dinner afterwards and we are going to start going to their hometeam starting tomorrow night. I am so excited! When you read this, please pray that God allow genuine friendships to form. This group is also supposed to go the State Fair in a couple of weeks. I think that would be so fun. Yeah, I hope this is where God wants me.
Also, just to keep you interested if you are still reading at this point. There is this really dreamy boy who is tall (yes, tall!), dark hair, dark eyes and so handsome. He is the hometeam group leader and I met him last night. I instantly thought he was a dreamboat and then to find out he is the hometeam leader, this could be a great potential. My interest was peaked a little at dinner last night when the group started talking about his house. One of the girls looked over to me and said, oh my gosh you guys would get along so great. Hmmm... I'll keep you updated. I have only said hello to him so lets not get ahead of ourselves yet.
