I am feeling full of positivity right now, and I want to share the wonderful week I’ve had.
On Wednesday night, my little sister randomly texted me wanting to come over. I, of course, said yes. She is very busy, so I love when we get some time to hang out, even if it usually is super late at night. We were just watching some TV when she started talking about the guy she had slept with. I was nervous to bring it up, but I wanted to feel out if we could have a conversation about it. I said, “I have a few questions about what happened with that situation, but the only thing I need to know right now, is were you guys safe?” She said they were and continued to talk about it. We had an amazing conversation. She shared how she was feeling, and I shared my experiences. At the end of it, she said, “I’m really glad I can talk to you about this.” I am so grateful!
On Thursday, I met up with an old friend that I don’t see as often as I’d like. We spent some time together one on one, and then we met up with my roommate, who she hasn’t had a chance to meet yet, and they really hit it off. It’s not that I doubted they would, but I’m glad it ended up that way. My old friend can be slow to warm up to people sometimes, but that wasn’t the case at all.
Friday night, my roommate and I met up with our friend from high school, her husband, and a couple of friends. We all went out downtown. It was really fun! Our friends had a baby a few months ago, and it’s the first time they’ve been out since. It was great to catch up. We’re in different places in our lives and it sometimes feels hard to stay connected, so it was nice to spend time together.
Saturday, I took a test for school, met up with the old friend that I mentioned earlier for lunch (twice in one week NEVER happens!), and then napped. Later that night, my roomie and I had dinner with a different friend from high school, and she asked me to be in her wedding next year. We’ve really gotten to know each other better through my roommate (they were better friends in high school than we were), and I feel really honored that she’d chose me to be in her wedding party. It’ll be my roommate as the maid of honor, and her cousin, and me as bridesmaids. 🙂
After dinner, I picked up my little sister, and we went to my parents’ for game night. My dad unexpectedly has the weekend off work, and we’d just had our first big snowfall of the year, so my mom was set on playing board games. We were all up late playing and talking, then afterwards, my sister and I watched a movie. We stayed overnight, and my mom had breakfast ready in the morning. We lounged around all day today and watched the Packers win. I came home late this evening and did some homework, so I’m feeling good.
I so often get caught up in the stressful parts of life, and I know there will inevitably be more soon, but I am so happy about what has happened lately.
