Finally, something to break up the monotony that
is January! Our old friends, the Williamson's were in town for a week and we sneaked in a couple of fun visits with them. Its always fun to reminisce with these guys. Ah, the 'good old days' when Corey and Jon would torture poor Bella with their
hours of Playstation Football Tournaments ( I had my reasons for the ongoing ban on all video game machines). The days when Bella was in love with Lance Bass, and knew all the Backstreet Boys' songs by heart (okay, she was only 19 or 20 at the time!!). The days when the four of us would hit the gym together after work or school. The days when Jon worked as manager of Godfather's Pizza and would hook us up with very discounted, if not free pizza...the place has since gone out of business, due to the lack of Jon's managerial expertise no doubt. We still crave our 'veggie, add ham' pizza, mmmmm. The days when none of us had a mortgage, kids or any real commitments or responsibilities. Wow, that seems like forever ago.
Jon and Bella now have 3 cute kids (Hannah, Zack, and Jake) with tons of energy and personality, and Jon is completing his podiatry residency in Detroit where they are now living in their new house. They say they are thinking about coming back here to NM to be near family when the schooling is finally finished, and we are doing our part to try to further persuade them. Yeah!
Whenever they come for a visit, we always go to Fuddrucker's...one of Corey's favorites. The ironic part is that he ALWAYS gets a chicken sandwich. He claims the honey mustard there is the best ever and that's why he loves it. Now that is an interesting draw for a burger joint.
There was a little situation. Then Zach emerged from the bathroom with a whole new look for the evening.
Some other facts about my dear husband? He can't pass up a claw machine without digging into his pockets for quarters. Okay, admittedly, he is the only person I have ever seen actually win on one of those, and more than once. Should we be seeking intervention for this passionate addiction of his? The kids sure do love it.
Showing his expertise to the young novices.
The kids all clammoring for a chance at glory.
We had them over another night to hang out and eat at our place. I guess I had forgotten a few things since they've moved away, namely, Jon's eating preferences. I made green chile stew, salad and apple pie. WHOOPS! Jon only eats meat, diet Pepsi, and chocolate. I will do better next time, promise! (Jon, we are only giving you a hard time...you did a good job eating dinner!) Honestly though, what was I thinking? How many guys are there out there that actually think soup is a meal?
Thanks for the fun visit! Hope to see you again soon!

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Lacey/Joey, Jenn/Jerry, Michelle/Jim, and Travis/I all got together on Saturday night with no kiddos and had a fondue party. It IS really fun to reminisce.
PS Yes, I did take the pic of my kiddos. I got a new lens for Christmas that is pretty amazing. Misty
WOW, sounds like quite the eventful days! That is fun that you got to hang out with your friends though! Hope you are doing well! Love you! Love, Danna
Oh my gosh, I busted up laughing! It was so fun to see you guys. I only have one correction to make. It WAS NOT LANCE BASS...IT was JC CHASEZ!!! DUH!! And yes, I knew all the words, and then of course I had to pass my knowledge on to Hannah. She knows all the words too now..of course that was 4 years ago and I have grown out of my fascination with them, and so has she.
Your little boy is just the cutest, I want him! Anyways, have a great day and we'll talk soon!
Teach me how to do that claw machine! I have waisted a FORTUNE on those games!!
