i didn’t write yesterday. because nothing happened. i thought about writing, but didn’t feel like it. no apologies.
i went to church this morning to see my mexico friends again before i leave for houston tomorrow. it was really nice to know people at church for once, and have stories to share. toney gave me two great pictures he’d taken–one of the nine of us who rode in van 6 (toney was our driver), and one of me and jeff taking a mid-morning break from laying block. i’ll post them along with the rest when i get back to houston.
last night i went out with katie and jennifer and caroline. jennifer and caroline are two of katie’s best friends, and all four of us were on the mexico trip. it made me feel really good to have been invited.
at times in mexico, i got the feeling that katie sort of wished i wasn’t around, sort of felt like i was intruding into her group of friends. i was definitely the oldest “college kid” on the trip, and hadn’t grown up with them they way they all had with each other, but still, i didn’t understand why she might be bothered. each time i’ve invited her to hang out with my friends, i’ve always loved having her there.
so it made me happy when she invited me to dinner with jennifer and caroline. maybe i just got the wrong impression. i can’t say that’s never happened before. 
anyway, we had a nice dinner at charley’s and then went to see men in black 2, which was entertaining.
today i get to load the van with my stuff. woo. the excitement abounds.
