Recovering

I've got a couple of things that I'm recovering from today. 1) My cold that I got last weekend and still trying to get over it. 2) My extremely busy day yesterday!! It was fun, though. Jess came and picked me up around 10:00 yesterday morning and we went to The Living Room and I got my favorite chai in the world (their raspberry chai) and a lemon poppyseed muffin (which was also very good). We had a really good talk about a lot of stuff. It was super nice to see her again! About two minutes after I got dropped off at home, Elizabeth R. came over (and I haven't seen her since December) and I had my first grilling experience. It took us about an hour to grill our piece of chicken for our grilled chicken salad. It was fun, though. :) The salad was acctually really good, and I'd say it was worth the wait. After making our salad, we had an "intense" game of horse, which wasn't really very intense. About two minutes after Elizabeth's parents came to pick her up, Bekah got to our house because we went to hear John Piper with a few of my dad's students that he does a Bible study with. Bekah and I DID get into a pretty intense alphabet game where you have to find the letters on the signs. The first way we played it, it was just any letter you saw. The second game was the intense one. You could only do letters at the beginning of a word. There was this one street we were on where we got Q, V, AND X (plus all the ones in between). We had a little bit more trouble with the Y, but we eventually got it on a sign that said, "Thank You". It was pretty fun. :) As we were leaving Bethehem, though, there were a couple of damsels in distress having car trouble, and so all the guys were on the ground checking the car out, acting like they knew what they were doing. It was so funny and even more so because my dad got out his phone and took pictures, but we weren't supposed to laugh to give it away. Bekah and I had a pretty tough time with that one. :) Then we went to this AMAZING place for dinner, Annie's, and they had these malts, which were HUGE. The were absolutely AMAZING, though!! I was determined to finish mine. It was kind of funny because none of the guys finished their's, but Andrew and I finished ours. Bekah found that quite amusing. Then we played this game on the way home where each person says only one word. We had a repeated theme of eating, melons, chickens, and purple animals. The best one, though, was about Queen Fanny, the purple elephant, who ate gas stations, porkchops and other elephants (okay, so maybe that's a bit... weird... but it was pretty funny when we came up with it). All in all, it was a really fun day, but a lot to recover from!!
