good clean fun.

last night was my friend Anna's birthday celebration and i had so much fun!!! goood CLEAN fun at that. just what the dr ordered. after anna dropped me home i was walking up to my villa and i thought "what a contrast to last sunday night" since i still dont know how i even got home last sunday. i know im human and we make mistakes. and theres no point constantly grilling yourself over stupid mistakes you made, but as i walked in the door i thought about how this wonderful night is a reminder that you dont need alcohol to have an absolute blast...you dont need a club or a pub to have a laugh with some guys. and you will never, ever find the good quality people that i was with last night in a bar drinking...why? because they are BETTER THAN THAT! and i want to be better than that too. in fact no, i know that i am better than that, and i plan to stay that way.

every time that i get invited out to a club or bar im going to remind myself of this huge contrast from one week to the next and remember how much more i enjoyed last night. honestly i just cant believe how much fun i had last night - at a restaurant! but with an awesome bunch of people. i always think, when im at church and im not around ruth or emma "omg i have no friends i feel like a looser" but last night looking around, all those ppl, were not only anna's friends, but my friends too. and gosh i dont think ive laughed that hard in a while!!
and the guys are all just so lovely. you can chat and chat away and have a civil conversation thats not gonna lead to "so you come here often?" or something a little more cheesy.

i dunno, there are no words for what i need to say. but yeh, last night was great and im so thankful to God for showing me the that the grass is actually ALOT greener on MY side of the fence!!!
