Superbowl XLIV

February 11th, 2010 · No Comments

Superbowl XLIV last Sunday was the most watched TV program in history. We watched at Trent and Loden’s house. It was our first visit to their place and we had a good time. Fun, but not too crazy. Laid back. Loden made a ton of great food, including chocolate covered bacon. Let me say it again. CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON! Then again, I’d expect nothing less than fabulous food from someone who works for Shawn McClain.

I was glad that the Saints won over the Colts. Not many of the commercials stood out for me, but I did enjoy Brett Favre making fun of himself in this commercial:

Trent’s Birthday

January 18th, 2010 · No Comments

On Friday night Dallas and I went out to The Long Room for Trent’s birthday. We had a fun time drinking from their extensive beer list and visiting with friends, but it made me nostalgic for the T&A parties we used to have. Our friend Allison was born on the same day of the same year as Trent and they used to have combined “T&A” parties. Here’s 2006, here’s 2007. Then Allison moved to San Francisco and that was the end of that!

Walking over to The Long Room from the train, I passed by Diner Grill. If you know any of my friends then you will be shocked to hear that I have never been here. Especially if you know that Dallas used to live only a few blocks away. Actually, Jen and Jill have somehow never been to Diner Grill either. We had a pact to go on Jill’s birthday in 2008, but then there was a fire and they were closed for a while. The night of Trent’s birthday Ed was pressuring Jen and I to go, but we have a pact with Jill and couldn’t leave her out. Someday I’ll go there. And I’ll order the famous slinger!

The apron went back on at about 1 a.m.

Finally, six months after we moved in, Dallas and I had a housewarming party. We had between 25 and 30 friends over for tons of food and drinks. Some people came over in the early afternoon to watch parts of the Cubs game with us. After that we spent lots of time on our deck above our garage because it was a gorgeous sunny day. When it got too cool we headed inside. There was a short round of Rock Band. Others started a card game that lasted well into the morning hours.

Thank you to everyone for helping us celebrate our new home. We are thankful for having such great, fun, generous friends and for being able to spend time with you all.
