Day four - Accept an invite!

Accept an invite you normally wouldn't.

My boss and his wife invited me to their 4 year old daughters church choir performance and back to their house for chilli and the Arizona game.  Now...this may seem weird to some of you.  But my boss is like family.  He's the owner of the company where we literally have only 11 employees.  For a long time, I was one of the only girls.  They're older than I am by like 5-15 years.  I'm the baby.  So that gives them the right to make fun of me.  for everything.  They say its because they like me.  that i'm their little sister.  But we work together 40+ hours per week.  I never want to hang out with them outside of work really.  Besides....they're my family. so hanging out with THEIR families...a little odd sometimes.  But today I decided....why not. Why not go? hang out? have fun with them outside of work.  and you know what? I'm SOOO glad I did.

Seeing these little 2-6 year olds sing church songs was ADORABLE.  I'm not the most churchy person...but these kids were amazing.  They yelled the lyrics. they danced on stage.  They sat down when they didnt want to sing anymore.  they took off the ties mommy made them wear.  they picked their nose.  they tried to escape.  they had to take potty breaks between songs.  they did what they want and they didn't care what other people thought. they made me laugh.  they made me forget why i was sad in the first place. I actually could learn a thing or two from these little kids.  All i wanted to do after was run up and give each one of them a hug (not creepy.  promise!)  I sat with their one year old daughter too.  She was just as funny.  she wanted to hand me the hot pink program over and over.  and kept saying "this?" to everything.  If any of you know me, you know i love children.  and the sound of a child laughing....makes me smile. no matter the mood im in. After the concert we went back to the house to watch the game and have dinner.  It was so nice to see all the guys just sitting around cheering for the game and drinking a beer.  My boss is a crazy arizona fan.  so he had the hat on.  the jersey on.  the surround sound on.  put the kids to bed.  and yelled his lungs off. 

overall.  a GOOD NIGHT.  I'm really glad i went outside of my box and accepted an invite i normally wouldnt.  this is actually my last week at my job, so i'm really hoping tonight turned our work family into an actual family.  these boys make fun of me with everything they have.  truth is.  i love each and everyone of them.  :-)
