DH and I are trying to be more social. We tend to be really busy and so when the weekend rolls around we're lucky if our laundry gets done and food gets replenished. Doing things "just for fun" has just been too much work! As soon as he heard, DH canceled any plans he had for the afternoon just to be sure we wouldn't miss that cheesy goodness. It was delicious. Mom, you do great lasagna, it's like you lived in Italy for 18 months or something.
But, I have been feeling antsy. I needed social interaction with people, so about a month and a half a go we, along with two other couples, bought tickets to a play. A musical even. Yes. A musical. DH was such a good sport to go to an expensive restaurant for lunch, deal with all the traffic and people downtown on a Saturday and sit through a performance that he wasn't entirely sure about.
The play was called Turn of the Century and it had Jeff Daniels in it (that's how I got DH to buy into it) :) It was really entertaining and reworked a lot of classic bradway showtunes as well as a few modern classics from this decade and last.
All in all it was a really great Saturday spent with some really great friends in a really awesome city.
Now, lest you think that this is all we could muster, we went for broke this weekend. We had a Stake Conference for our Church this weekend so our Sunday meetings went from about 5 hours to about 2. It was a huge blessing, because my mom had invited us for dinner and she made her famous lasagna.
After sleeping off the lasagna for most of the afternoon, we met two other couples that night, for a quick game of Settlers of Catan. It's a super fun game.
We had no idea how seriously involved they were though. Frankly, I was shocked at the level of skill shown to me last night. Although one of the players has a "good luck charm" of sorts, as witnessed below...
Yep. That's his wife, being totally embarassed. :) They're super cute together though, don't you think?

Hey Rach, I guess I didn't realize that you had a blog! I am excited to hear little bits about what is going on in your life!!!
Wow you guys did have a fun weekend! Or weekend is always jammed packed with all kinds of stuff we have to do too, and we've been slowly trying to make more time to do fun things.
I love lasagna and I think that you should send me some of your Mom's famous over this way! I would love to go to a play but the one or two that I've been to here sucked.
I LOVE Settlers and John and so competitive at that game.. it's so weird! He gets all crazy and sneaky.. we'll definitely have to play when you guys come to visit!
Wow I had no idea settlers of catan could bring out such an amazing wig. Looks like fun!
What surprised me most was how young Jeff Daniels looks in that picture! Hasn't he gotten all old like the other stars of his time (Bill Murray, Chevy Chase) or what.
I can't imagine how you guys get stuff done with both of you working full time. When I worked and went to school, Saturdays consisted of cleaning and laundry and the very occasional activity. I was always too tired during the week to do anything else.
Sounds like a great day. I'm always trying to get Matt to go to musicals, but it always ends up being a girls day out since I can't seem to persuade him.
love settlers. such a fun game. glad you guys have been able to have a little fun. life really does get busy!
It’s always good to try and be a little social. I am glad you guys are finding time for more fun. I love musicals!!
I love my knight in shining armor! It was all good; until he decided that it would be great fun, to put bread on my shoes and watch me freak out! The geese took it off my feet!
