Monday Fun

On Monday, all of our friends went out as a group to the Abbey. It was really fun! It was so nice to have everyone together, I really enjoy when that happens. We kind of took up a little corner of the patio, where we had our own table, relaxing, drinking, talking, and laughing. There was some dancing in there as well. We can really crack each other up! Some of the things we find to be hilarious, may not be as funny to other people, but goodness was my stomach getting a workout from laughing so hard. It's difficult not to laugh when Calen starts the "dance wave" and everyone follows his lead. It's difficult not to laugh when Gina is knowingly blurting out embarrassing facts to Troy, Calen's guy, and proceeds to do it anyway. It's difficult not to laugh when Jill is being herself, making funny jokes and putting me on the spot to announce the big project we're working on, to her friend Duffy...that I just met. It's difficult not to laugh when Chad, of all people, is genuinely being silly and the most talkative I've ever heard him. It's difficult not to laugh when Juleen, Josh, and I are dancing together, with some really creative moves. It's difficult not to laugh when Casey is sitting next to me and he's so cute, I just want to squeeze him. It's difficult not to laugh when we're all just there to have a good time, with great friends, celebrating the freedom that we all feel today.
