thankful thursday - just go.

blakey & i have been going to a young couples' bible study through our church on tuesday nights.  it's been a fun way to meet new people our age around birmy.  one girl & i have had a great time chatting & getting to know each other more.  & tuesday night, she invited me to her & her husband's house to get a little xbox dance central on with them & their friends.

it. was. fantastic.

{my new friend brooke is on your right.

& her friend katie is on the left.

katie is a dancer.  & she is really good at dance central.}

have you ever played??  i had not.  & i was a little nervous i was going to be horrible.  but i somehow wasn't all that bad!  & really, it doesn't matter whether you are bad or are not.  it is so much fun.  the best is watching people dance without watching the screen.  soooo funny.  & so awesome.  it was a fabulous evening.

let me back up & say, i really did not want to go to small group this week.  i was tired.  & blake hasn't been able to go in a couple of months.  & i just wanted to go to bed.  but i kept having this inkling telling me to go.  so i went & got my hair cut & i thought "if i get finished in time, maybe i'll go."  so i was finished in time.  & the guy actually styled my hair pretty cute, so i figured i may as well see people since my hair was done, so i went.

clearly, if i hadn't gone to small group, my friend wouldn't have asked me to join in the gathering.

so i'm thankful.  i'm super thankful for my new friend.  & thankful for a super fun evening.  & thankful for that little inkling tell me to just go.

i hope you can think of something today for which you are thankful.

love love,
kjp.

ps maybe blakey & i will have to get an xbox or wii, so we can have dance central parties...
