This summer would not have been complete without a host of coffee dates with the following:
Alli Crawford, Dana Taylor, Susy, Claire, Allie Thomas and Emily to plan bible study, maybe a few I am missing :(
I also shared my fair share of meals with some great people:
I took the Chinnault girls for ice cream, shared a few meals with Elizabeth Dannan, had ice cream with girls from the Roseland trip. Ate with Allie Thomas. Experienced bien trucha (and had a coming of age moment), a few lunches with Jordan Coffey. Lunch with Jordan and Katie Mcnutt. A meal with Michael Olsen and Katrina. One day Alexandra brought lunch to me. I went to dinner at the end of the summer with the lady lead hosts. I also had a few meals with PUREL and Tom etc.
I guess I did some stuff.
It was great.
