One of my most favorite pastimes has become eating with friends. There's just something so genuine and heartfelt about spending an evening together, chatting and enjoying good food together. Our friends Matt & Jessica are AMAZING cooks! (more on that in the next post hopefully...yes I know I'm so behind on things...) They always invite us over and serve the most delicious homemade meals! So I decided to try and actually cook something from scratch myself! Aric & I went to one of the new "organic" grocery stores in town and stocked up on all the best ingredients to make some homemade lasagna. This particular night as I whipped up some lasagna he was outside working on one of his projects in the garage! We invited Matt & Jessica over to critique my work (haha) and enjoyed a beautiful night sitting on the patio eating and drinking wine! Perfect night indeed!
Looking back through the pictures from this night just makes me happy. And SO so thankful. For friends. For our home. My kitchen, Aric's handyman work...so many things. Life is crazy right now. I mean when is it not, really. But my head has been spinning lately with a million to-do's and not nearly enough time! So even just taking a few minutes for myself to post this little blog was good for the soul. I'm really tempted to go take some pictures of the house with the Christmas decor up...(even though it's not completely ready)...but maybe I'll go ahead and wait so you get the full effect!
I still have to blog about our cooking class!!!!! (eek!)
Happy happy!
