I want to start by informing you, my sensational blog reader, that I saw a BLACK SQUIRREL today. YES---that's right---a black squirrel. It's supposed to be good luck if you see a black squirrel--so maybe I have something lucky coming my way. Stay tuned for updates.
Liz got a new couch on Saturday. It definitely took a team to put the "legs"?? on it.
Liz's dad:
Liz's sister, Amanda:
Amanda's boyfriend, Kody:
Saturday evening I had a fun girls night with Liz and a few of her friends. We ate dinner ate HuHots, a Mongolian Grill similar to Bali Hai. This was my creation:
Yes, I ate my entire meal with chopsticks. Skill, basically.
Sunday was refreshing for me. I went to church and my friend's mom, Susie, invited me over for lunch! While my friend wasn't able to be there, I had a good time getting to talk with his mom. She's super sweet and really into photography--I may even be able to take pictures of a wedding with her! We shall see though. I also found out that there's a photo club at the church! So, I'll definitely be getting involved with that!
This morning Liz's family came over to the apartment for a Memorial Day brunch. Liz's mom making crepes:
Amanda making french toast:
FEAST
I went over to the pastor's house for dinner tonight. She had a staff dinner and Liz was my in for that wonderful opportunity to eat free/good food. Before we went, Liz and I made brownies!
Finished Product:
Someone brought beautiful flowers for the staff dinner:
Liz and I ventured out into Nebraska tonight and she took me to this tower that overlooks a beautiful river:
I met a few new people on top of the tower:
They were pretty cool.
Anyway, that's what I've been staying busy with lately: exploring, getting lost, and meeting new people.
Hasta Luego,
Meredith

Hey Meredith,
ReplyDeleteDriving to Omaha, walking to Iowa...what's next?
Glad to hear you are settling in and meeting new folks.
God Bless

Hey Meredith!
ReplyDeleteFound your blog (from the church bulletin!). Where I grew up, in Princeton, NJ, black squirrels are EVERYWHERE. You see them all the time. Hopefully that makes me *really* lucky :-)
Hope you're doing well !!! Amy
