Girls Night In

This past Friday while Steve was out on the town with the boys for his bachelor party Angie and I enjoyed a quiet night at home. "Guys Night Out, Girls Night In" we decided to call it. I rented the movie "Definitely Maybe" which had been highly recommended by Jen and we decided to have a movie night. When Angie got home from a family dinner it was time for the movie, but we needed something more, some little snack. Steve wasn't home to make us popcorn, he makes the best and Angie was on day 17 of no sweets or treats so what else could we have? Angie has been on a kick of having fruit and yogurt for dessert so we got out the cute little parfait bowls that were originally used for our holiday centerpieces and created a delicious dessert for a great girls night in. We layered bananas, grapes, nectarines and strawberries with vanilla yogurt and it was a perfect end to our hectic week!

Birthday Camping!

In my continuing effort to expand my horizons(that sounds serious doesn't it?) I am going camping! Angie's friend Jannine and her husband and 2 girls are going camping the weekend of my birthday and invited us (me, Angie and Steve) to go along. I was hesitant for several reasons: First, my only camping experience was when I was in Camp Fire Girls when I was 6 and it rained, I couldn't bring my own pillow and the other girl that we shared the tent with was tiny, but somehow sucked up half the tent! Second, I usually joke that my idea of camping is staying in a Super 8 motel. Well Angie wasn't going to let any of that fly, so I agreed and am so glad I did. This was my favorite part of the conversation:
Me: "o.k. I will go camping"
Angie: "Great I will make the reservation tomorrow"
Me: "Now I just need to make sure that I have stuff for camping"
Angie: "Well we need to get you a head lamp and a camp chair and you will be all set!"

Heck if I had known that that was all I needed for camping I might have done it a long time ago!
