meetings, conversations, laughter: our boys.

tuesday is the annual business meeting in our apt at 6 pm. which means debo's staff of 7 guys comes over and they cover various RA duties, etc. i'm usually in on most of their meetings, since well it's in our apt and it's not like we have a huge place. i actual don't mind i enjoy listening, discussing, and laughing with them. and with 7 of them plus debo, you can imagine there is a lot of those 3 things going on.

thursday consists of covenant meetings which go from 6-8pm. this "meeting" is really for the staff to hang out with each other, and take a break. usually the guys are over and we play rockband, go out to random spots, eat homemade creations (i've made), discuss, and of course laugh. we've currently been watching Band of Brothers during that time which is awesome, because i haven't seen it all the way through. it's so addicting, it is so well done.

i love our guys a lot. they have made this experience for us just so enjoyable. i've had so many great conversations with these men, and i think in turn debo and i have offered them a peek into what married life looks like. good, bad, silly, honest, and raw. i feel like these guys have become a part of our family here in a way.

so just to give you an idea about these fellows. i'll give you a brief synopsis of each of them, using 3(-ish) adjectives a piece, making it short and sweet.

1. tiki [ARD]. political guru. faithful. a good heart.
2. ben [RA - 3 north]. honest/thoughtful. calming. mischievious.
3. micah [RA - 2 west]. real laid back. punk rocker. easy to chill with.
4. vince [RA - 2 north]. sweet heart. super easy going. intricate thinker. (he's our game night buddy)
5. curt [RA -1 north]. one of a kind. hilarious. opinionated. passionate. (and in his own words, "a good egg.")
6. chris [RA - 3 west]. outgoing. vibrant. lots of energy. my kid brother.
7. ryan. [RA - 1 west]. laid back. gentle spirit. our outdoors guy.

good eggs. good eggs.
