Cats and HotDogs.

 Yesterday was a perfect example of things happening for a reason.

-It was raining Cats and HotDogs from the moment we woke up.
-Danielle got called into work because her boss was sick.
-Since it was pouring rain- I decided to go with her and hang out in Starbucks on their big red comfy chair
-The big red comfy chair was taken. So I sat in the only other seat available.
-The girl across from me was on the phone, and noticeably going through a not so easy time
-She said something I agreed with- so I nodded at her (trying not to eavesdrop though)
-20 Minutes later after her phone call- we got to talking...
-I got the chance to help this girl with what she was going through.
-A little later- I got on the phone for a little while with Evan
-I mentioned "free pizza with every beer purchase." - she nodded at me (trying not to eavesdrop also)
-After my call, I invited her to come to the bar for dinner with us.
-A new friendship began :]

Meet Jacqueline

So once Danielle got off work, we all met up at Lulu's- which is like the Alligator Lounge I had mentioned in a previous post.. Except this place was WAY better.

We were lucky to come across possibly the best seats in the house- at the edge of the balcony overlooking the bar.

We had beers, a LOT of free pizza, and great conversation.

And to our surprise- there was live music as well! This band is called "The Maybes"

-Kyle also came and met up with us about an hour after being there- which just added to the great night :]
-Things started to go bad when we decided to go home.
-The train we needed  to get on was shut down- and we had to find alternate transportation.

-Besides being super fun to hang out with- all three of us girls were SO lucky to have Kyle with us.. He figured out what we had to do to get home, and even sent Jacqueline in the right direction.

This is us getting on the jam-packed shuttle

This is us actually on the jam-packed shuttle.

Anyways- after two shuttles and three trains later- we finally arrived back at home. 

So what happened for a reason exactly? Welllll.. if it wouldn't have been raining Cats and HotDogs, then I wouldn't have gone to work with Danielle. I wouldn't have met our new friend and had the chance to help  her out. Kyle wouldn't have come to hang out with us. And Danielle and Jacqueline would have been all alone (separately) trying to find alternate transportation..
