(Re)connectin’ with my peoples
Remember how I've been hanging out with folks who I met my freshman year of college?
Well, this weekend, I was able to take a trip even further down Memory Lane at the 40th birthday party of one of our old youth-group leaders from First UMC of Gilbert, where I went during high school.
At Norm's party, I got to catch up with Sarah and Willow, two of my friends from youth group who I've only seen a handful of times since graduating from high school. We had a good ol' time Saturday night reminiscing about all the epic things that happened on our '04 SSP trip as well as Sarah's and my first "SSP experience" (as Matt repeatedly called it) and the year that Willow was my camper at SSP. We also, of course, shared all of the "Where Are They Now?"-style details we had on our fellow youth group members from back in the day.
What's more, we took advantage of the fact that I was going to accompany Rob and Kyle in representing Wesley at First Gilbert this morning, and we decided to attend the 8:15 service there for old times' sake.
Plus, we've also started making some plans for future Gilbert-kids fellowship... and mischief. Expect fun and ridiculous things in the weeks and months ahead.
