Should I be thankful, amused or saddened?

I'm going away with some friends from work this weekend. Just for 24-hours to my good friend JJ's parents' cabin. Just girls. Super chill time. But, I have a meeting Sunday afternoon that I have to get back to Denver for. Here's the conversation as it went with my friend JP (who's a part of the meeting too).

N: Since I didn't hear anything from anyone saying that they couldn't attend, we're planning to go ahead and have our meeting THIS SUNDAY, at 5 pm.

JP: Uh oh. I can't be there... That's not good. Does it work for you to have breakfast on Sunday instead? Are you on the worship team? Shoot me back an email before you start changing everything around...

N: I'm actually going to be out of town from noon Sat through about 2 on Sunday....so I won't even be at church on Sunday.....

JP: Ok...Could we do Sunday @ 2:00 instead? I have a flight leaving @ 7:45... So I should be at the airport @ 6:15... Can you do that?

N: I'm going to the mts with some friends...and I'm not the one who'll be driving. But I think I'll be back by 2. So, why don't we just plan on 2 and you all can start without me. And, I'll just get there as soon as I can. Maybe B can take notes until I get there.... But, that's all assuming that everyone else can do 2 on Sunday. So, should I check with everyone else?

JP: By the way, who are you going to the mountains with? Any other church folks?

N: Nope....just a couple of girlsfriends from work. We've been planning it for about three months....

JP: Cool...Are you being "safe" on this trip? I'd kick myself if I didn't ask and something happened....I'm feeling over protective lately...

That last message was sent after I left work on Wednesday and I didn't check my email again until the next day. So, when I got in, I had the above message and this one:

JP: Did you get this?

N: I just got both of these.... you make me smile...and I REALLY appreciate the questions and concerns. You can be as over-protective as you'd like. Yes, I'm going to be safe. No guys are going...just a few of my girlfriends. I'll probably have a drink or two over the course of the 24 hours but nothing crazy. We're just hanging out at my friend's parents' cabin - playing games, watching movies, hanging out, enjoying the scenery and enjoying each other. I promise, nothing crazy's going to happen. But, thanks for asking!


Now....JP is like an older brother to me. So wonderful. And he knows all about my time in Chicago and how I partied a little too hard (again, nothing actually crazy...but crazy for me) and didn't make completely wise decisions the entire time and how there was potential for stupid things to have happened with that guy from work that I have a bit of an attraction to (but through God's mercy, nothing did.)

I love that JP's worried about me. (I'm being sincere.) It just makes me laugh/pause for reflection that given my time in Chicago, I'm now being checked on. I like it. It's just interesting to me because I've never had to have these questions asked to me before.

Have I finally crossed over or am I just finally admitting that I'm human and don't always want to do the "right" thing?
