Family Dinner

We had a lovely family dinner last weekend with our community of faith. On the menu: pot roast, gravy, mashed potatoes, corn casserole, chessy broccoli, autumn vegetables, rolls and delicious desserts. The food was torn into before I could get any pictures, but I did get some shots of the table.

 

Germans, Weddings, Anniversaries and Wicked!

I have so much to post, but none of my pictures are downloaded yet! So I will fill you in briefly on the latest news in our life:

• We had some lovely Germans stay with us a couple of weeks ago. When Ben was in high school did participated in the foreign exchange program for a month and stayed in Germany. He stayed with Lorenz and his family while there. Lorenz also participated and he stayed with Ben’s family that year. Well..Lorenz and five of his friends decided to take an East Coast road trip through the States and we were one of their stops. We had a great time and hope to stay with them one day when we make our travels through Europe.
• Tina and Adam got married! Yay! This was my first wedding shoot and it went well, but I still have tons of photos to edit!
• Ben and I celebrated our 3-year dating anniversary last week (Oct 16) by having dinner at Mud Pie in Chattanooga and seeing a movie, Eagle Eye.
• We met up with Dan and Jessica and sweet Halle before making our way to the theatre. They are an awesome couple and we love spending time with them. We just wish we had longer! And they have the most precious little girl and live in the cutest town outside of Atlanta.
• We saw Wicked the musical this past weekend at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. We also had dinner at the Melting Pot for the first time. It was a great weekend with delicious food and wonderful friends.

Pictures to come!

Lovely friends and Creme Brulee

*Disclaimer: this post will be lacking in pictures, but chock-full of mushiness.

With that said, we have been truly blessed by our friends here in Cleveland. We have an amazing core group of people that we’ve grown quite close to. We laugh and cry together and we’ve become close enough to be genuine and honest with each other. We don’t say it enough, but Ben and I appreciate this group of friends so much. Each person brings something so unique to the group and we are honored to be around them. We couldn’t imagine a better group of friends.

A couple of those friends, Jason and Jaime, had us over for dinner a few weeks ago. It was so lovely and yummy (Jaime is an amazing cook.) We always enjoying hanging out with them. For dessert Jaime put to good use her great score at the Habitat Store earlier that morning – pretty, white souffle cups. She made some excellent creme brulee, which Jason and Ben happily set the torch to. 🙂
