Catch Up

Okay, so it has been a long time since I have posted because I have been crazy busy. I know... no different than any of the rest of you. Luckily, amid the annoying obligations were some really fun busy things to do too. Unfortunately, I took no pictures! My camera always seemed to be somewhere else.

I got to bowl in a private room at The Alley for a birthday party. It was really cool with black lights, music videos above the pins, lounge chair benches to sit on, food and drinks, and of course, lots of great friends. 

I also have had a couple fun girl's nights. I joined a book club with some friends where we ate (surprise) and decided what book to read. We decided to go with my sister's favorite pick from last year, Peace like a River. So I guess we can blame her if it isn't good. :) 

With the girls, I also had a fondue party while the guys went to priesthood meeting for church. I admit I am not a huge fan of meat cooked in the fondue method, but luckily we did two cheese sauces and two dessert sauces instead. They were ridiculously scrumptious! We had one cheese sauce with pico de guyo (no idea how to spell that!) mixed in it and we used bread, carrots, celery and other yummy things to dip in it. Then we had chocolate and caramel sauces with cheesecake, brownies, marshmallows, strawberries, and shortbread to dip in it. Don't worry, I worked out really, really hard after this! It was so worth it!

I don't feel like remembering all the other things that were not fun that kept me so busy, so I won't recount those! Luckily I have a good husband who did not complain about my messy house, lack of prepared meals, and absence these past two weeks. Hopefully things will slow down, but with the holidays coming, I don't think I have a chance!
