Friday night was pretty mellow, which was greatly needed after one hectic week. I feel like by Friday I typically have no energy left and am simply content to just chill on the couch watching a movie instead of going out with friends. I tend to go to bed by 11 too, which, strangely, is something I relish.
This Friday, I spent hanging out at my older sister's place. She had apple cider ham brewing in the crock-pot (smelled so good in her place!) and whipped up scalloped potatoes to complement the meal. We drank champagne and sparkling cider and settled in for a night of conversing and watching movies. Plus, I brought over the most delicious cupcakes from Trophy Cupcakes in Wallingford...we had lemon-strawberry and chocolate-vanilla. Simply to die for! The frosting was so sweet and creamy and melted in your mouth. Basically after bite one you knew it was "no good" as my dad would say.
I spent the night on her couch and roused myself around 8am to head over to the gym to workout with my sister and our personal trainer, Kate. She's pretty awesome and encourages us to push past the pain and keep going even when we think we can't. After training, it was out to my parents for the weekend. My dad's 55th birthday was on Sunday, so I stayed the night there and attended church with them on Sunday. Ryan & Beau came out for the day too and we played an intense game of ladder-golf. Ryan & I started out strong as the team to beat, but after 2 victories we lost our momentum. In the end, my mom & dad took the ultimate victory. I guess it was our birthday present to him. ;) Then it was inside to view the best Super Bowl in history...at least in my history...that I remember. Simply unbelievable how the Giants pulled it off! Talk about a dramatic ending! We were cheering, high-fiving, and pumping our fists in the air. What a great way to end an amazing day.
