Family, Friends, and Fun!!!

We went out to Maggiano's for dinner for my two friends who are celebrating February birthdays. It was quite a fun time. Made a new friend, Mary Allen. I loved the fettucini and chicken parmesan. We had a lot of fun "flirting" with the bus boy, I mean young man who helped our waitress. His name was Jamison and he was 18. He was so young and naive, and really wanting to impress us "experienced" young women. Quite hilarious. The quote of the night came from me. As we were leaving, young Jamison asked us what school we went to. All I could say was "Bless your heart. We don't go to school. I teach school." Poor child didn't know what to say. We took a group shot with the young boy. Can you tell which one he was?

Today was a great day for Friend and Family. I went to this really awesome place to eat with two of my bestest friends in the world and their husbands (who are also my friends). I was excited to try a new restaurant. Afterward, we made it a girl's day and hung out at Laura's house watching movies. We watched "Sliding Doors," which is a movie I've been wanting to see. Well, I've seen it and it was too much thinking at the time. But I did like the basic concept that no matter what path you take, you will always wind up where you are supposed to be. Then, we watched my all time favorite movie, "The Notebook." Of course, I cried as I always do. But anyways, it was wonderful to get to spend time with my girls.

Then, I spent the rest of the night hanging out with my sister and my mom. We also got to go see baby Addison, who is one of the cutest babies ever! I got to feed her and then she feel back to sleep laying on me.

It was so beautiful outside today. I love weekends when the sun is shining and you just want to be outside. Of course, when you walked outside you felt the bitter, cold wind coming all around you and then you decided that you wanted to enjoy the sunshine from the warmth of your home. I came back from Smyrna today. I made it in time to go by my Granny's for lunch. Well, now my aunt and Granny have decided that they are going to "train" me to become the perfect wife. They have decided to start giving me cooking lessons that I will be trying out for Sunday dinners. I can already cook, but hopefully I will become an amazing country cook after they teach me. Of course, country cooking does not involve measuring cups, its a dash of this, a pinch of that, and a tad bit of water.

When we got home from Granny's, I cleaned my room up, put things away, etc. Then we took the dogs for a walk out the road. This is becoming a good habit. I like to walk, especially on our road. Well, Sophie didn't want to walk because she was cold. So, my picture of the day came from this when my dad decided he needed to carry her in his jacket. She has him wrapped around her little paw.
