So, today we had an actual dinner guest. Lexi and Aaron moved back to Provo because Aaron took a job working for his friend since he started his own [successful] business. Currently there are only five employees, including Aaron. One of the employees, Nolan, moved from Boston to Provo in order to work with them. Nolan graduated from MIT with a degree in Mathematics and Statistics––crazy smart. He is also not a member of the church. And since he is new in town, he doesn’t have any friends. So Aaron invited him over to have dinner with us and have some friends to hang out with.
However, about an hour before Nolan showed up, Aaron coincidentally told me that he invited a friend to dinner. What?! The house was in disarray and I wasn’t sure that I prepared enough food to feed ten people. First we began to clean. Lex, Aaron, Chris, Mom and I were all cleaning up a storm. Amazingly, after about thirty minutes, the house looked quite spic and span. Usually it takes me about two hours to clean everything by myself, but it was wonderful to have help. Then Nolan arrived.
Remarkably, we had enough food. In fact, we had left overs. After dinner, we all decided to play the card game “Bang!”. Nolan had never played it before, so we taught him how, and I think he enjoyed it. It really was a delightful evening. I just hope we didn’t weird him out as we are some of the first Mormons he has ever met. But he was very gracious dinner guest, was fun to play the card game with, and even brought some ice cream to share. All in all, I think it was a successful night.
