Sorry I didn't post yesterday, everyone; I didn't get home until quite late and I didn't feel well because of allergies, so I just went straight to bed.
Well, yesterday's "day" portion was, per usual, average. Last night, I went with Kayla Porter to a barbecue at the house of two of her youth leaders. I do quite a few things with their youth group and I'd been to their house once before. Everyone in that youth group is fantastic and it's a place I feel really accepted. We talked and played games and, in short, just had a marvelous time. It was really nice.
Then, when my dad picked me up, is when my day took a downward spiral; I was already feeling ill because of severe allergies, and then he had to work late. He didn't have time to take me home and he said it would only take about half an hour. It turned into two. By the time he was finally ready, I was through with the night and I just wanted to go home and go to bed. So, that's why I didn't even pop in here for a quick post.
Really, it was pretty nice just to be there and talk with the people there. It was only me, Kayla, Lauren, Justin, a boy whose name, regrettably, escapes me (I think it was Nicholas?), and Dustin and Tirzah, so there weren't many people. But I was completely comfortable with all of them; they're all very relaxed and they just make everyone feel right at home among them, which is really quite difficult to do for me. They accept everyone for who they are. That's a pretty difficult quality to come by, especially in a group that number more than two or three. They're special people.
Anyway, it was nice to be able to simply relax and be myself as much as possible. It doesn't happen often :)
Vale Nunc!
