What’s new?

By , June 2, 2008 5:43 am

We were in Kansas City this weekend to go to a wedding and catch up with friends. We spent a lot of time answering the question “What’s new?” with “We’ve been bowling a lot!”

Later, Steven said to me, “We should probably come up with something different to tell people than ‘We’ve been bowling a lot.’ It’s kind of lame.”

That’s a good point. We haven’t seen a lot of these people in 8+ months and the only thing we have to tell them is that we’ve been going bowling?

For our credit, we talked about A LOT more than that. But what are you supposed to say when people ask you “what’s new?” I could talk about our new car (and sound vain), our cat (and sound crazy), about work (and bore people), or about… what?

I think next time, I am going to have a prepared answer. That doesn’t sound crazy.

It’s hard to catch up with people that you haven’t seen in a long time. But what I love about Steven’s friends is that even when we haven’t seen them in ages, I still have a great time around them, and feel like nothing has changed.
