Growing up it always drove me crazy when you would ask adults how they were doing and how life was going that you would generally get the response. "Oh you know same old, same old. Nothing too exciting." I couldn't imagine not seeing the joy in the small things in life. I mean there has to be something to be excited for or a good story to tell.
Yet over the last few weeks I seem to find myself answering the question of how things are as same old same old. I realized I need to remember to find joy in the simple things, and look forward to life. Everyday. So...
What I was grateful for or most enjoyed about this week:
Monday FHE small groups got off to a great jump start this week. I was happy to hear that all four groups had a good turnout, and had fun.
Tuesday I got to hand out with a new friend, and get to know her better, while going dancing, which I haven't done in way too long!
Wednesday I was so happy to get a good handle on my school work. It really does feel good to be moving forward. Got to spend a few hours with Heather... can't beat that. It has been a long time since we just killed time.
Thursday... nothing needs to be said other than OFFICE NIGHT! Followed by some quality time with the roommate, which I hadn't seen Katie all week, and I do mean hadn't seen due to our crazy schedules.
Friday the annual halloween party at Aubrey's which I look forward to every year. Haven't laughed that hard in a long long time. So grateful for friends that can not only make me smile and feel happy, but make me laugh till my side hurts, and I can't help but smile.
Saturday, can't beat a good Cosco run with a good friend.
And what wonderful things do I have to look forward to this week...
Well tomorrow starts it off with dinner with the my favorite neighbors, Todd and Heather, and my new friend Angela will hopefully be joining... it has been way to long since we hung out.
I am greatful for getting scheduled over 20 hours before the week starts! Brings the stress level down several notches.
Tuesday I get to go see "Where the Wild Things Are" with two of my dear friends.
Thursday, I am looking forward to Office Night, and I even get to spend some extra quality time with the girls, because I have a test that night. Talk about trials and blessings coming together. Never knew I would look forward to a test so much. :).
Friday, there is a great themed party... mustash. :)
Saturday, I get to catch up with an old friend that I haven't spent quality time with in long time.
Sunday is my monthly dinner with a good friend. Oh how I love traditions! And yes I am now singing the song in my head.
I just want to say I love life, I love my friends, and family, and I hope everyone can find the joy in thier lives!

So I just called my brother, and asked how he's doing. He said, "Same ol' same old..." And then I yelled at him, "Don't be THAT person!" (To which he yelled back, "Oh I WILL be That Person, just WATCH me!" :)
