It must be a girl thing

Today most of my non-foreign class when to lunch together.  So that would be about 12 of us.  I'm enjoying the diverse group.  At my end of the table.  It was me another girl and then three boys.  We were discussing moving and getting out of comfort zones.  Well actually the girl and I were.  Two of the boys were from Memphis and the other was more recently from Nashville.   She asked me if I had cried here.  The boys looked at her in confusion and astonishment.  Which makes me laugh.  She had cried from loneliness.  So while I haven't cried here yet.  The two weeks leading up to the move were full of tears as I was fearing what I had gotten myself into, which  I admitted to whoever was listening.  But I understood what she was asking and sometimes boys just don't understand.

Another great moment of the day.  Us new to towners (more often the girls of the group) were asking the townies(mostly the males) what to do in Memphis.  A couple of different things were suggested and then several bars/clubs were suggested.  I then asked what non-bar/drinking things there were and received some suggestions.  But what I enjoyed was that a couple of hours later after lunch, this same guy makes a comment that he would keep thinking of non-bar things to do.  I really appreciate small things like this.  I doubt he will ever know, but that's ok.  His not knowing makes no difference, it has much more to do with God providing even in unlikely situations.
