If we were on a coffee date, we’d head somewhere local. As usual, I’d choose an iced chai latte over coffee or anything else. It’s over 100 degrees with the heat index (not to mention as muggy as all get out), so we’d stay inside and huddle in a booth for as long as we both could get away.

If we were on a coffee date, I’d ask what’s up with you. Then I would ask again because I’m finding that this tactic really gets to the real stuff and neither of us would be surprised that I’m skipping right over small talk.

If we were on a coffee date, the enneagram would obviously come up. I’d ask if you know your “type” yet and if you didn’t, I’d sit there while you looked at the type descriptions and I might even encourage you to take a quiz. There’s a lot of options out there and a lot of research to really dig into. I’d tell you all about reading The Road Back to You last month and we’d talk about how I’m a type 8, also known as the challenger. I’d tell you that I cried when I found out because, while I felt like it described me, I didn’t feel like it was describing someone who followed Jesus and loved other people. It’s taking a little getting used to, but I’m embracing it now and using it to my advantage.

If we were on a coffee date, we’d talk about my bathroom remodel. We’ve been working on the details of this for over three months at this point, so it’s about time that we get to work on it. Kevin and I are lucky to have lots of family and friends offering to help with our first big home project. I can’t wait to share more about it here.

If we were on a coffee date, we’d have to discuss the Caps winning the Stanley Cup. While it would have been awesome to see the Golden Knights win in their inaugural season, a lot of people didn’t feel the team was “fair” because of the way the expansion draft worked. That being said, I’m really happy to see Oshie holding the cup, I knew it was going to happen eventually, I just wish it would have been with the Blues. Also. This video.

If we were on a coffee date, we’d discuss all the summer plans. We don’t have too much planned other than a trip to California and I’m not mad about it. I’m contemplating starting a 101 in 1001 project where you share 101 goals you hope to complete in 1001 days (or 2.75 years). I found out about this some time ago, but it never really felt like the right time. I have a lot of fun things I want to do, so now just might be the time to try it out.

What would you tell me if we were on a coffee date?
