Day 5

Wow! What a fun day! I was invited by the coworker and his wife last Sunday to a get together they were having on Sunday afternoon. I was really excited to go but unfortunately I did not even make it last week. Joel was very disappointed but we definitely made up for it today! I work with Joel about 6 days a week and we get to spend a lot of time together. We have known each other for about 4 and half years now but were never really close. We went from knowing each others names at work, to becoming Facebook friends... and now we run a restaurant together. Going off first impressions neither of us could imagine we could become good friends..... but hey, 4 and a half years later it happened. I'm very proud to say that I can have him, and his wife Shandelle apart of my life!


So today I went over to there place for lunch. So nice of them to invite me! I ended up staying from about 1:00 to 6:00 It was a fun afternoon of yummy stew and good conversation! Both were definitely needed! My parents are out of town and I usually spend Sundays with my entire family. This is something is greatly missed when they are not in the city. Having lunch with Joel and Shandelle made up for the fact I could not have dinner with my family.


So your probably thinking... what is so great or different about what she did today? Well even though I'm very extraverted and extremely outgoing I get shy and quiet around people I don't know. Part of the reason I didn't go last week is that there was going to be so many people I didn't know. So I "maned up" and put myself in a situation that I knew I would be  a little bit more uncomfortable in. So what did I learn?? Sometimes you have to put yourself in a place where your uncomfortable to learn and meet new people! And thats what happened today! Im happy to say that I now have two more positive people in my life and that I learned more about a person I work with everyday! Sometimes I think that friends are work don't always take the time to get to know each other in life outside of the building and Im glad to say that we have both made the effort! It was worth it.....




I also completed something off of "the list" today! I brought Joel and Shandelle flowers! Which I loved doing, and they were a very beautiful color! Something people should do more often. Flowers add life to the room and Im happy I could do that for them!


Tomorrow Im going to take my blog to the kitchen! Can't wait to tell you how it goes!
