Did I Mention I LOVE Boardgames?

I love big get togethers! I love having a house full of people with kids running and screaming everywhere. I don't like the cleanup, but it is worth it to have a good time. I think I have said before that most of my friends happen to be Chris' friends or their wives. This still holds true, but one of the things I have been trying to do this summer is acquire more friends on my own. So, I was even more excited last night about adding some new people to our group. I don't want to ramble on about who they are and how they got here so I'll just say that Doug and Jaime recently moved here from Florida, as did Chris and Barbie. They both work for Scott and they both have kids that are around they same ages as ours. Aaron and Jill came with their boys, and Scott and Sara stopped by for a little while with H. Let me just say that I commend Sara for even wanting to leave the house at all as pregnant as she is! I would be miserable if I were her and she had a smile on her face the whole time they were here. I can't wait to hear the news when this little one finally arrives! We all spent most of the evening eating and talking, and getting to know each other. The kids mainly ran back and forth between outside and downstairs, and we managed to get by without any major fights or bodily injury. Us girls all decided that since the guys have poker and golf nights, that we needed to plan a ladies night, so I am very much looking forward to getting out of the house and having some "me time" in the near future. The guys spent most of the evening drinking beer and playing cornhole, but we did manage to talk them into playing some board games once it got dark. Did I ever mention how much I love board games? I absolutely LOVE board games. As an added bonus, us girls actually won! So, here's to catching up with old friends and making new ones! Life is a journey that is so much more fun with good people walking alongside you!
