This is ladies night.

Friday was ladies night.  What a night it was! Lots of fun, laughter, food, and getting to know some of the ladies of August Gate a little bit better.  Nights like Friday tend to bring out my extroverted-ness and I have to remind myself to shut up and listen.

A couple of my new friends really stand out as good listeners - Kim, who I love so much but I did not snap a single picture of all night, and Celeste, who makes me feel warm.  Does that sound creepy?  Sorry, Celeste.  You just do.  Can I have a hug?

Celeste's Smile

Then there's Juliette, who I could talk to for hours. We have very similar tastes in just about everything, I think!  She and I connected quickly and now we've bonded over our love for Twilight. Judge away.  We don't care.  Juliette is a beautiful soul with a great laugh.

Juliette's Laugh

This is Emily and Amy.

Belly shot!

Emily is my favorite story-teller. She always has something great to share and it seems like she's lived a lot of life.  She makes everyone laugh and feel happy.  I just like being around her.  When you're with her you feel the love of Jesus pouring through her.

Amy is so smart and cute.  Just look at that baby belly!  I love her style, her sweetness, her energy, and her dogs.  Watson loves her dogs, too.  There's a lot I want to learn from her.  She and her husband, Jacob, made us feel really welcome.

Jenille is so funny and queen of the random one-liners.   She also has great stories and makes the most random jokes I've ever heard.  I think what makes her so funny is that she delivers them with a straight face like Tina Fey.  Just get her some thick-rimmed glasses and call Lorne Michaels.

Janelle's One-Liners

We ate a lot of really great food and had a great time.  It was really nice to just throw on some sweat pants and have some laughs.

Of course, there were a lot of other girls there who I love, but did not get great pictures of due to my lack of camera skills in low-lighting. So, here's my shout-out to Kim, Heather, Kat, Jamie, and Brei! Thanks for a great night!
