Being Brit in the Lounge

One of the greatest blessings I have received are my friends.  Last night I stayed up until 3am with two people who mean the world to me.  Lindsey Fowler Wacholz and I started off the night with ridiculous girl talk and cuddling on my futon.  We moved the conversation down to the 2nd floor lounge where for some reason we chose to take on British accents.  I have been working on mine for The Importance of Being Earnest lately.  Lindsey did not have much former experience, but I must say she is quite the pro.  I am actually pretty disappointed that she has not auditioned for any shows because she is so outgoing and hilarious.

Brandon Hanson came down after finishing up his hour and a half game of Settlers of Catan.  I have never played that game and I don't think I will because I do not have the patience or ability to sit still for that long.  He sat by me and we enjoyed the British Flower Waffles Show as Linds continued her dialect and outrageous statements and questions.   Questions ranged from "Who would you kick off of campus if you had to?" to "Who do you find most attractive?"  Yes, it was like middle school all over again.  Haha.

The conversation did get more serious at times and I enjoyed hearing their views on relationships and faith.  After STP, I have seen so much growth in Lindsey and her strength and desire to grow in her knowledge and relationship with Christ is inspiring.  I am hoping to start getting in the word with her and learning together.  Brandon is a man who I have so much respect for.  He has such a fantastic ability to care for and encourage his friends.

I am so thankful to have been able to spend these late hours of the night with Lindsey and Brandon.  It is so rare to find genuine friendships and so vital to cherish them.
