Dinner Affair

So Chris and I discovered this fabulous place near where Chris works called a Dinner Affair.  Basically how it works is, you order what meals you want to make before hand from a list of meals available for the month.  We made twelve different meals including ricotta stuffed chicken, ranch chicken, italian beef croquettes, cuban pork tenderloin, etc!  It's all so good, and they had everything there for us so all we had to do was follow the instructions.  We put everything into zip-lock bags and put it in our freezer.  It's like we have a gourmet meal every night.  We went with our friends Kelly and Chrisanne.  They are both a ton of fun so that made it even better.  The only downside is that we had to wear goofy looking hats... I guess the upside is that we didn't have to wear hairnets!

Update on Emory

She is growing so fast and she is so incredibly smart!  Unfortunately, she hasn't been feeling well lately.  There was a night last week when Chris and I found ourselves awake at 2:30am- Chris was bathing the dog and cleaning poop, throw-up, diarrhea, etc. out of her crate in the freezing rain and I was mopping up the mess in the kitchen.  I thought to myself this is what we get for having a dog.  Then, friday, Chris and I took off of work to spend some time together and we watched Marley and Me, and then I cried because we have such a sweet dog.  If I'm this emotional with a dog, how will I be with a child!  Today we took her to her first day of doggy day care.  We decided she might need some extra exercise during the day and interaction with other dogs.  It was basically a huge warehouse with about fifty huge dogs running around like mad.  When I went to pick her up, I looked through the window and she was swallowed up in the sea of dogs.  It made me so sad, because she seemed really sad and stressed.  She has been sleeping all evening from the moment we got home, and she has also been shedding a lot, which she only does when she gets nervous.  Anyway, here are some more pics to show how much more she has grown, and like every dog, she loves to ride in the car with her head hanging out the window.  She can now sit, stay, lay down, and almost roll over.

80's Prom

And finally, last saturday Chris and I went to a friends birthday party.  He was turning 40, so the idea was to relive his prom (which happened in 1987).  It was so fun... I found this hilarious dress at Goodwill, and Chris wore an awesome mullet.  There was plenty of 80/s music including, of course, Thriller.
