Weekend Update: Friends!

We just came off from another busy Davis weekend.

Friday after work, Kelley stopped over and enjoyed some black bean hummus that Jay made for us. It was a really tasty and healthy treat! It was also a treat to have Kelley stop by and visit... even though I couldn't convince her to have a beer with me :)

Saturday we headed over to the dance studio. This time we had a double lesson - so an hour and a half of salsa and west coast swing. Jay was being really hard on himself learning some of the new moves, but I think he did great! We do need to practice more though...never can seem to squeeze in enough time during the work week.

After dancing, we headed up to the NW valley to see Myla and her new house. Both house & owner look great! We went out to grab a bite to eat, chatted for a long while and then headed south to Glendale's Chocolate Affaire with Jeff, Tara and Alistair. If you have never been to downtown Glendale, you are missing out! It has the cutest little main street strip (Glendale & 58th Ave area) filled with shops and restaurants. We browsed the booths and taste-tested lots of delicious chocolately treats before heading to Haus Murphy for beer and German food! Come to find out, they are going to be featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" - one of our favorite Food Network TV shows on February 23rd. Make sure you tune in to watch!

Drinking like the Germans do!

Alistair was not happy when we told him he couldn't drink the beer!

Sunday we got up early to visit Kiera and Joe and see their new place. It's a really cute house and right near another nice downtown in the area - downtown Gilbert. It was Kiera's due date, so to celebrate we had breakfast at The Farmhouse. It did not disappoint! Still no baby as of yet, but hopefully we'll meet the little one sometime this week?? We're in suspense and can't wait to find out if it's a girl or a boy!

After breakfast I took a nap while Jay spent some time visiting the Sanocki's. I also managed to get some much needed cleaning in and admit that I thoroughly enjoyed it! I know, what's wrong with me?! We wrapped up the weekend by going to dinner with the Sanocki's and then came home to watch the movie "Holes" that Jay had recorded earlier in the day.

As I'm sure you can tell by now, we have been keeping really busy lately. It's becoming more and more frequent that we have these jam-packed weekends, so we made a vow to make April as plan-free as possible. That is, except for the weekend that my sister Stacy visits. She's hoping to come in April but we haven't set a date yet. Other than that, April = Lockdown Month!

This Friday (yes, Friday the 13th...my superstitious self can't stand that it's this day!), Jay has surgery to remove 2 ganglion cysts from his wrist. Though it's a minor outpatient surgery, I will be taking him in and then working from home in order to make sure my hubby is ok! The doctors are putting him under for the procedure so he's sure to be a bit loopy afterwards. I'll definitely post about it after it's all done. Who wants before & after pictures?! The good thing about the surgery is that Jay will not be able to fly for a while. He'll still be working in the office, but no 16-hour days flying until he's healed!! Woohoo! I think we're both equally happy about that part.
