Ben and Sierra (me!)
We all decided to convene at Megan's house and have a dinner and movie group date.
Ben picked me up with his brother, Josh, driving the car. The date started at 6:30. . . . . .
BUT we didn't get there until about 8:05.
Why, you ask?
Well hahaha it's actually a funny story:
We kind of left New Jersey because Josh missed highway 295, had to turn around and get back on the highway. Turns out, there was a huge, and I mean HUGE accident on the road, and traffic was backed up like crazzzzy! I thought it was going to be mad awkward, but it was the exact opposite! We all started talking and laughing with each other. We talked about everything, from who our favorite superheroes were. . .
- Josh and I absolutely l-o-v-e Flash Gordon
- I adore Green Lantern. . .
. . . ever since Ryan Reynolds played Hal Jordan in the movie!
- Ben liked Spiderman, I want to say
. . . to the kind of music we listen to. . .
- Surprisingly, I'm not the only one who listens to Vampire Weekend, and we ALL agreed that dubstep is amazing!!!
We arrived at Megan's house, thanked Josh for driving us there, and proceeded into the dining room, where everyone was eating. Our dinner and dessert were prepared by each of the couples:
-Seth and Kirsti made the parmesan chicken (which was soooooo good)
-Johnny and Emily made the potato salad (I had seconds hahaha )
-Rob and Emily prepared the fruit platter (which had RASPBERRIES)
-Dan and Megan whipped up these wickedly delicious lava cakes (brownies with chocolate filling in the middle, topped with a raspberry and lots of whipped cream)
-Ben and I worked on the muddy buddies (which are so freaking awesome!)
When dinner was over, we all helped out washing and drying the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen. We had originally planned on watching a movie, and it came down to either. . .
The Count of Monte Cristo or Avatar.
But instead of watching a movie and not interacting with each AT ALL, we ended up playing "The Name Game" and "The 5 Second Rule".
I had so much fun!!!!
I didn't end up getting home until about 11:30, and I was so tired.
But I must say, it was such a pleasure to hang out with friends from the stake who know how to have fun without making stupid decisions, or acting too immature. It was so nice to be myself around people I'm so comfortable with, acting how I always do, and not being afraid of being judged because I'm 'different'.
So thanks everyone, for making my night such a fun, wholesome, and crazy night! I wouldn't trade it for the world!
And thank you Ben, for asking me out on a date. You made my day.
