Flippin sweet…

After working out for 2 hours Megan and I decided that we would grab a quick bite to eat before showering. This was rather out of the ordinary for both of us as we always shower after working out and before going to eat. As you can imagine, after working out for 2 hours we were completely sweaty/stinky. We were also seriously hoping to come into contact with as few people as possible while scarfing down dinner. But apparently God had other plans for us. Father and Mrs. Father (Archbishop Desmond Tutu and his wonderful wife) came to our table and asked if they could join us. Megan and I were speechless, looking up as if they were out of their mind to want to eat dinner with two really sweaty girls who were shoveling food into their mouths as if was their last meal. But apparently this was attractive to the couple and they sat down regardless. Megan and I chatted with Father and Mrs. Father for about half an hour about everything and anything. I was honestly quite nervous, not really sure what to ask or what to say, but somehow, words came out of my mouth and questions formed. I don’t think I have ever enjoyed a conversation more. Father is such a wonderful man with an incredible sense of humor and his wife is just the sweetest woman. Wohoo for a flippin sweet dinner with Father and Mrs. Father.
