i just got back from a great ski trip with 5 guys from my core group (andy, collin, kai, matt and stephen). we stayed at andy's house, went skiing and went to charely's for dinner. it was a great time of fellowship. it is so much easier to get to know people in a smaller group setting.
i really value conversation with people. i was hanging out with clay, ryan and sammy. it is really cool to just sit with a small group of guys and talk about life.
