Social

At times I think of myself as a home person, but I am often told I am not. I guess these past few weeks, I would have to agree. I have been meaning to post a summary of things, but keep forgetting. I have about 20 minutes before going into work, so lets see if I can quickly get this all out.

At the end of June, I met up with Belem for coffee and then we stopped by Cutthroat for their end of the month social. If Ryan didn't cut his own hair, I'd think he would like going there. It is a cool barber shop for guys and at the end of every month they invite 2 or 3 vendors to come in while you check them out.

I got sick right before the fourth of July, so although we couldn't go out to celebrate with others, I told Ryan, I wanted a feast at home. I went to Kroger with him even though he kept telling me not to, and he was right. I was really tired afterwards. We had them steam a lobster for us and made lobster rolls that night for dinner. They were delicious! The last time we had rolls like that was from our family vacation in Vermont a few years ago, so I was very happy with that meal.

The following week, we went with some friends to the Houston Escape Room. Our friend, Adrien, heard about this from the Today Show and got everyone together to go. They give you a mission and then you enter a room. Once you enter the room, the door is locked and you have to find your way out and complete the mission in one hour. We found our way out, but we completed the mission 1 minute after our hour was up. So close! Right now they only have one room and one mission to complete, but hopefully, when they move to a new location, we can go back for a different mission.

The next night, we met up with Ryan's family for Houstonia's Burger Bash event. They had over 10 different restaurants there competing for the best burger. We ate way too many burgers that evening. We went to their gumbo smackdown last year and this was very similar. Lots of food, lots of drinks (this time bud, stella, and deep eddy vodka), photobooth etc. One of the people they had at the event was a lady named Cindi who cuts out silhouettes freehand in a little over a minute. It was amazing and I have always wanted one done. I love them.

I was suppose to meet up with Marisa and Kim the day following the burger event, but I ended up picking up a little puppy for my sister. The playdate ended up at my house instead so that everyone could meet little Luna. It was a full but fun house!

Saturday, I went to Ian's baptism in the morning and then helped host a baby shower for Adrien and Avi that evening at Claudia's. I'll write up another post about that baby shower next time. Sunday, we met up with my family and cousins for BBQ and to play with little Luna some more.

Off to work!
