Lazy Sunday

So today was the 50th Anniversary Service for Hope Lutheran Church. After going to bed at 2am, I woke up around 7:15am, forewent my usual shower, and got dressed. I got to church around 8:10am and got ready for what I knew was going to be a busy morning.

Assorted choir members started to funnel in around 8:30 and my two soloists (both sopranos) arrived shortly after. We rehearsed until about 9:15, with the service starting around 9:30. The first reading was the famous one that begins the Bible - "In the beginning God created the world..." blah blah blah. Ugh it took like 6-7 minutes to read the first reading. I was zoning out. The Bishop gave the sermon - that was a cool experience. It's pretty cool to hear a true expert lecture you.

After two grueling hours of worship, the service finally ended. There were about 175 people in attendance so the line for food and drink was quite long. I hung out with my regular buddies - Paige, Greg, Roberto, Julian, and Harrison. I love those people. When we all decided to head out, I decided to go to Costco with the Espinas.

We got to Costco and it was packed, as usual. I pushed Lillian around in the cart for a while and then branched out with Roberto and Julian to explore the store. We finally rendezvoused after a half an hour and checked out. When we were leaving, we were met by about fifty other people waiting in the vestibule - it was raining cats and dogs! We waited for Robert to pull the van up so we could load it up with $450 worth of groceries. As I was leaving, I spotted plate 213 and PC524. Shortly after that, Josh (Alvina's boyfriend) sent me a picture of plate 585 that he spotted in Newark. So that was cool.

I got home, showered, and laid down for a few minutes. Shortly after, I went upstairs for dinner. My mom made an amazing batch of mussels marinara. UGH! It was so good! My Nana is also here - that was a nice surprise. After dinner I cleaned up and went back on the computer, which is what I've been doing ever since. I hope you all had a wonderful day! Oh, and shout-out to Danielle, my main homie. Peace, yo. Dawg. ... awkward.
