For the past five years, I have not been in Ohio during Memorial Day weekend because I've been at Turkey Run State Park (west of Indianapolis, Indiana) for SoloCon. What's SoloCon? It's a singles' retreat sponsored by the Nazarene church - basically a weekend getaway for single people. I've always had a blast...I play volleyball 'til all hours of the morning, go canoeing, take walks, play softball, hang out with friends (which I've made some great friends due to SoloCon). It's become the "norm" so I was a bit concerned knowing that there wasn't going to be one this year (they've revamped things a bit). However, this weekend was great!
You've already heard a bit about Friday & Saturday in previous posts so I'll just update you starting with yesterday.
When I got out of church, I had a message from Jodi & Lauren checking to see if I'd like to have lunch with them. I had made plans with Traci & Connie, but I knew they would understand so I called Jodi back. I'm so glad I did because when I got there Lauren jumped into my arms & just clung to me. She was really missing me! We were together for over an hour & had a great time. It also was nice to talk to Jodi!
Today found me attending two cook-outs. Jeromy & Traci and Steve & Jenn both invited Matt & I over today. Matt had to work so I went to Jeromy & Traci's by myself for lunch. It was nice to hang out with them, but it was kind of weird because we were all so quite. Traci commented on how strange it was. Typically a get-together with the Sanderson clan is not a quiet affair! :-) After Matt got home from work & got cleaned up, we headed over to Steve & Jenn's house. Her family was over so I got to meet them. We played some volleyball & badminton, and then we played some games (Mad Gab & Taboo). After everyone left, the four of us had a great time talking & laughing. I laughed so much that my cheeks hurt!
Oh, by the way...Matt read the book! :-) And...he actually admitted it was a good book - he enjoyed it. We talked a little about it tonight, but I'm sure it will be talked about more. He said he learned a lot about quality time, and he'll be making some changes. He even said that in front of Steve & Jenn so they're my witnesses! :-)
Well...it's after midnight, and I have to get up for school in the morning so I better be heading to bed. Have a great day!
