It's been a few months since we have had game night with Caroline and her friends. A few years ago, Caroline's friend, Cindy started a game night which mostly consisted of Caroline and Cindy's co-workers. The hub and I were invited and we must have played good because we have been invited ever since.
Typically game night occurs once a month for a few months and then there is a break because we all get busy or something. This time the break lasted a long time, as our last game night was in November! I really enjoy game night. Everyone usually makes something and contributes to a yummy dinner. Last nights dinner consisted of a shrimp salad, bbq chicken wings and garlic bread. Preceded by some great appy's aka appetizers. And of course, there is always a well stocked bar full of beer and cocktails.
Even though it's called game night there is only one game we ever play and that is called Catch Phrase. It's Cindy's favorite and since she is the host, that is what we play. Although when we hosted at our house we did try to mix it up with Scattagories but it didn't go over well due to this one guy but he really only came that one time. But since he messed it up we have always just stuck to Catch Phrase. We are all getting pretty good at tossing that thing before the buzzer sgoes off.
Well, last night we ended up outside sitting by the fire. It was such a nice night we didn't end up playing the game because it would have required a flash light and that was just too difficult and the beer and cocktails had put us all in a nice place. So it was a night of drinking and catching up on everyone's news. Since it had been so long since we all have seen each other there was a lot of news. Luckily hubby was able to come and join after his grilled cheese invitational.
Here's a recap:
Caroline and her boyfriend, Minh spent their second winter snowboarding with friends each weekend at Bear and Mammoth. They pretty much hit the slopes each weekend from November to April. I hadn't seen Caroline in a while and it seems like she has taken up quite a few sports. In addition to snowboarding, she has taken up running, hiking and mountain biking. It sounds like she is one busy, busy lady. She's even been doing these marathons too. Anyhow, she is doing really well and is very fit!
Cindy is doing quite well. She read that Feng Shui book I told her about MOVE YOUR STUFF, CHANGE YOUR LIFE and she discovered she had all this luggage aka baggage in her relationship room. So she removed the bags and all the sudden this man comes into her life! See I told you people that book works!!! Anyhow, we meet this new man at game night and they make a really nice couple. She looks extremely happy. It's always nice to see your friends glowing. I have a good feeling about this guy.
Christine is moving to San Diego and has gotten a sweet new job with a 55% pay raise, so she was really happy too. And Sarah has gotten a new boss at work so she was pretty happy about that.
But the most shocking news of the night was that I found out Amy Ko is engaged!!! Yep, Amy is engaged to her dance partner, Larry and is getting married in October. She is becoming a step-mom to two pre-teen girls. Caroline is planning the bacherlorette party in Vegas already. Color me shocked!
