The '80s...
I'm feeling very nostalgic today about Pennsylvania. It was four years ago today that I flew to Pennsylvania for what I was SURE was going to be the most boring summer of my life (because all Pennsylvanians are Amish, according to several people I talked to here in SoCal, LOL). Instead, I had one of the most life-changing and incredible summers of my life, and ended up returning the next summer. I have "family" in Pennsylvania now, as well as friends that will be friends for a lifetime. What an incredible experience the Lord allowed me to have. Who would have ever thought that being a summer missionary would impact my life forever? :) I love Pennsylvania (except for their tax system, which I deal with each day at work)!
Today was a great day--approx. 5 mile bike ride with Ananda (with swimming afterwards, since it was 98 degrees today)...finally unpacking from last weekend's trip home...getting an extension cord so that I can use my air conditioner...and celebrating Cindy's birthday with a group of friends.
We had pizza, cake and ice cream (and some had alcohol, but not me because I was the Designated Driver), and played "Name That Tune: 1980's Edition."
Keep in mind that I was the youngest person in the room by at least 10 years.
I teamed up with Cindy, because she is the queen of this game--and it's a good thing I did, because I only knew about 3 of the answers to our questions.
I knew more of the other team's questions, but most of the questions were all about these obscure bands that I've never even heard of. Yikes--I felt so ignorant!
I don't like most '80s music--or really anything about 80s culture. I am more of a child of the '90s, as I was at least in school by the time 1990 rolled around (well, I started 1st grade in 1990, I think).
Needless to say, I felt REALLY young tonight, and I think next time we need to play the '90s edition. Heck, even the '70s edition (because my Dad loves classic rock, so I know more about that time period). Yet, it was still fun and I learned a lot.
And I love riding my bike! :)
