Weekend of Butterflies

Apparently monarch butterflies come out in swarms this time of year. There have been hundreds of butterflies all over the place. Literally in flocks. It’s awesome. I met three girls who live next door to me while they were outside catching butterflies. They are adorable and so sweet. I was quite the social butterfly myself this weekend. On Friday night Kristen, Lauren, Jill, Sasha, Matt, Liz, Maria and I went the Shisha CafĂ© to smoke hookah. I had some Mint Lemonade (delicious, real, fresh mint crushed up right in the glass, it reminded me of childhood) and the smoke some honey-berry hookah. Era muy delicioso. Saturday I slept in until noon. It was glorious. Last night we went to a Silver Stars (WMBA) game. (They played the Sacramento Monarchs...) Solomiya had some free vouchers for us poor City Year folk. It was A LOT of fun. We thought about going out afterwards, but ended up hanging out at the girls’ apartment for a while, watching some more of The Office. This morning I motivated myself to go to First Presbyterian Church. I have to admit, I was nervous, but I wanted another social outlet besides just City Year. The church is beautiful and ENORMOUS!!! There were tons of people, but I managed to find some other people in their 20s to sit with and they invited me to lunch afterwards and to a movie tonight and to their bible study on Tuesday nights. So all in all I would say it was a successful venture.

That was my amazing weekend. It was suppose to storm because of Hurricane Ike, but the weather has been especially beautiful instead.
