It was a fun weekend starting with the wonderful K-Lamb Foster's birthday! We celebrated with dinner at Freebirds then headed back to the Fosters' for some epic ice cream cake and a fun game night (where the girls crushed the guys in Taboo)!! ;)
Saturday was lunch then grocery shopping then a really good talk then my first cooking lesson with the kind and awesome Miss Kelly Marie! (Including peeling and chopping sweet potatoes, juicing lemons, mincing garlic, marinating chicken, making a strawberry salad, and preparing asparagus - all for the first time on my end). We listened to T-Swift and One Republic while chatting and cooking... it was fun and honestly easier than I'd expected. (Time consuming, but not hard, so that's good!) We pulled out the extra leaf on my kitchen table and brought in my chairs from outside and the computer room chair and Mary Engelbreit stool for extra seating - it was eclectic, I guess. lol
Note to self: Time for me to buy some fold-up chairs soon!
JEM, Chet, Karli, Laura, Evan, and Jessica came to join us for a good, healthy dinner - (strawberry/walnut salad, asparagus, seasoned sweet potatoes, and rosemary lemon chicken)!! Chettles promptly put in Pitch Perfect as our background noise during dinner, rewinding it to see his favorite parts later. lol We had fun, as per usual, and the girlfranz were very excited to see everyone as well! lol
Pics = JEM excited to try our cooking, SamSue... probably peeing on my couch :(, Kelly fanning the smoke alarm when it kept going off - lol, Bellsy being precious, Chet and Karli talking to Jessica on speakerphone, Laura reading my new book (Scary Close by Donald Miller - it's going to be AMAZING, I can already tell), and me, just mincing some garlic, which was weirdly my favorite part of the cooking lesson. lol After dinner, we watched Brooklyn 99 and then randomly watched figure skating for a while, where JEM knew a surprising amount about Ashley Wagner. lol Good times!
Yesterday, I went to LifeChurch, hung out with Kristin, and had a Parenthood season 6 marathon (11 episodes in one day... out of control! lol) I'd never watched it until yesterday, but I really liked it! I have one more episode to watch tonight, then Laura and I will be watching the series finale together this Thursday after our walk/jog at CP -- get excited!
So there's my ridiculously detailed weekend update. Happy Monday, gang!
