Social Life

I recently realized that I haven't taken many pictures at all since we've been married. So I've been trying to take a picture at every social thing we're at. :) I'm so glad Daniel likes to socialize and do a lot of stuff as much as I do. Although lately we've had plans every night. It's been fun, but I am getting too old for this kind of thing. :)

I know this isn't a social event... but on a lovely snowy morning, I was headed to work... and ended up in the ditch. The roads weren't even that bad at all, but I came around a curve on our very own lane, and there was a snow plow right there. It was either hit the snow plow head on or go into the ditch. I went into the ditch, and thankfully I barely missed two patches of trees. Whew... it could've been a lot worse. I know it hardly looks like I'm in the ditch in this picture, but I really was! My dad was out of town on business, so my cousin Micah came and saved me! I was only 30 minutes late for work.... but let's just say I go slow around the curves on our lane now. :)

Mom had the family over for dinner a few Sunday nights ago... us kids played Parcheesi, a game we played all the time growing up. A simple game, but it was fun cuz it's just been forever since we've played it. Bridget had fun playing with her own pieces and kept telling us "I'm playing a game too."

 So precious... Bridget's looking at pictures of Heidi when she was young. Mom, all those scrapbooks over the years have paid off! :)

Last week we babysat for Bridget & Carter at our house. We finally can have the kiddos come to our house now that we have room! I went to my mom's before they came to get my Bitty Baby(from the American Girl doll store) stuff from when I was young. Bridget loved it... she played with it almost the entire night.

 She loved wearing this baby carrier.

These two are such pickels, but I love them to death!

This week Daniel was on spring break. So I took advantage of it, and decided to do a whole lot of stuff and have people over that we haven't seen in ages! Monday night Jenna, Adam and Elisabeth came over for dinner(I made some chili. :) I hadn't seen Jenna since Christmas... pathetic!

Us girls. Ignore how I look... this was taken really late and I was really ready to go to bed. :) Oh, and Elisabeth isn't crazy for having a sock on her hand... it was part of the game we were playing, Quelf.. I don't know if you've ever played it, but it's the most random game, and makes no sense whatsoever. It is funny though!

Everyone but Daniel... I love how us girls are so close together and Adam's a little loner on the other couch.

A far away picture, but you can see our living room for now... until our piano comes! Then it will go in that corner! :) We love to have friends over, but we kind of end up kicking them out.... Around 11 Daniel and I kinda drop some hints that we're ready to go to bed. We're so old. :)

Tuesday night Kendra came over... I forgot to take a picture, whoops! We just sat around for quite a while and talked up a storm... and then we dropped some hints that we were ready to go to bed! :) Most conversations these days when Kendra comes over are MEDICAL. With Daniel in nursing and Kendra being a nurse too already, they have a lot to talk about. I just sit and listen. :) Maybe I should do something medical....

Thursday night I failed to take a picture too. We had Fred(Jodi was gone), Seth L, and Joe over for dinner. We grilled kabobs and it was sooo good if I may say so myself... especially for only the 2nd time grilling! They didn't hang out too late... maybe because they're all older than us. :) It was fun though to have some guys over finally! Poor Daniel mostly hangs out with girls. :)

Friday night was the Mennonite Relief Sale. Hannah came with us! It's been way too long since she's hung out with us, so it was great to have her along.

We may have made a scene to take this picture, but we did it! :)

It was great week... but man, I'm struggling with my 4th cold since Christmas and I am exhausted. And it's not about to stop....

Today I got to work my first Saturday in a while. So no sleeping in for me! Gotta love tax season.

Other exciting news... my parents and I went and picked out a freezer today(Daniel was working)! I'm sooo excited to have a big upright freezer in my basement. Can't wait for it to come on Tuesday!

Hope you all are doing well! I am SO ready for some 50 degree weather!
