So this weekend I made up for any week I haven't met my one new person when I went to San Diego with the Ultimate Frisbee team.  Both the women's and men's team went so I got to meet and get closer with a lot of the people I hadn't really talked to before.  We carpooled over there and were then housed by a couple who used to play the sport too back in the day.  We never ended up playing in our tournament because of the rain and mud, but it was a day and a half well spent with the team :)  We hung out, went out to eat, saw a movie, and played fun road trip games in the car.

There's a sense of respect that you automatically give people you don't know.  You talk to and act very differently around them than you would if you were closer.  This weekend I broke that barrier between acquaintances and actual friendship, just by opening up a little bit and playing a word game in the car, or an ice breaker out on the field with the other teams.  We didn't get to do what we initially went there for, but I don't regret the way it ended up.  Our team's name is No Regrets and I think that is what this period in our lives is all about :)

These are group pictures taken at our last mini tournament at UCLA a few weeks ago that I went to but couldn't play in:
