October Begins

Friday night Bryan and I got some sushi for dinner (yes Charlie, the same place you and I went:) and then stayed up way past our bedtime to see The Social Network. The (mostly negative) portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg (the founder of Facebook) made me stop for a few seconds and hope that a movie, or book, or any sort of recounting of my life would be at least slightly more positive than his. It also reminded me that perception and interpretation can drastically change the impact of a situation from one person to the next.

Quite the opposite from Mark, I was also remembering Grandma Audrey this weekend and what an overwhelmingly positive impact her life has had on so many people. Grandma - you were one cool lady, and I hope to be more like you someday.

Saturday morning we ran a 5k for kidney disease awareness (sponsored by DaVita) in Stapleton Central Park (a long cry from "the" Central Park, but not bad considering it used to be an airport parking lot). We showed up with the intention of doing the walk part, but decided to run. One of Bryan's co-workers finished in 17 minutes. We did not. But it was a beautiful day and it actually felt good to run...which might be the only time those words come out of my mouth. Turkey Trot - here we come! : )

Yesterday after church we watched the Broncos finally get the football in the end zone and pull out a victory, then went to our first small group in the evening. Two couples were gone, but I think there are 10-11 couples total. We are the only ones without kids, but we're excited to get to know some people in our area/around our age and everyone seems really nice. We'll be getting to know a couple "in-depth" each time (we meet every other Sunday), and going through the Hearing from God book this fall. So excited to find some community!
