A Great Saturday Night

Yesterday we decided to enjoy something that we hadn’t done in awhile… Beer Butt Chicken. It was fabulous, once we seared the devil head off of it. Haha!!! John and Kandis, some of our adorable friends, made their way over and the entertainment began. We watched some football, played with music, and cooked a bunch. We made dips: spinach and artichoke, cheese and chili, and salsa, also enjoyed chicken legs, brauts, and then for dessert Kandis and I made this incredible cookie brownie concoction and topped it off with ice cream. Mmmmm it was all so good! When it comes to hanging out with friends, one can be sure that it is going to be absolutely amusing and unlimited fun. The silly lil’ acts are endless. Whether it be a hilarious, I mean hilarious, Halloween face mask or the boys making up a song that they will end up singing on and off the entire night. The talks seem to go on forever and any ridiculous topic can become a point of lengthy discussions. Be it the latest trend in hats, relationships, snakes that are really like 8 feet long, the latest gadgets, music- oh the music, there is no end to the list. Getting together with friends has become a daily routine, a real luxury. Consider yourself lucky if you get to hang around with friends often, I know I do. And of course one of the best places to hang out with friends is of course your own house or theirs! The comfort that your home offers can’t be offered any where else. You can be yourself, kick your heels up or take ‘em off, not worry about your looks and talk loudly about anything in the world (well inside). You need not worry about what to eat since there is a grill right outside the door and good, great, amazing food is the only thing that ever makes its way from there. You can eat as much as you want and however you want! The bottom line is to have fun. Still, its fun to go out on the town sometimes, but I will say the back porch somehow makes way for some of the funniest stories that I’m certain will be in the books for a very long time! (This is where I would insert a picture of Devin being scared to death by Kandis in the devil mask…. To bad there was no camera there to document this event!!! Haha) So there it was, a very well done Saturday night, delicious food, tasty wine (that will be saved for next time!!), fantastic company. Life is so simple and good!
