I tried Calamari!

So the title of this post is a little misleading. I wanted to blog about going out to dinner with an amazing group of women from my Ward. (We went to a Thai restaurant and we ordered a bunch of appetizers. One of those appetizers was Calamari. My friend and I decided we would try it together and I actually liked it.)

We have gotten to be friends because we all play basketball together. (Yes, I am playing b-ball and I guess that is another post as to why a 4'11" girl is playing a sport meant for tall people.) Anyways, all of them are married and have young children. The cool thing about it is that I did not feel out of place at all!!! They were just wonderful about including me in their conversations and I loved hearing about their cute kids. It was just a blast and we laughed a lot!!!! I am so looking forward to the next Girl's Night!!!!

A Night Out!!!!

Saturday night I went out with my close friend Cat!!!



We had so much fun, but a few funny things happened.

First, we tried to go to this restaurant, but all of sudden it was no longer there! We both a have friend who worked there as recently as a month ago. We are not sure what happened.



Luckily there is one in Manassas and we went there.

Next as we are driving to the movie theater we see this....



They completely blocked off the road because of an accident. But because of where it was blocked off, we had no choice but to get on I-66. We were less than 2 minutes from the theater, but it ended up taking us another 15 minutes. We had to drive to next exit (about 6 miles away)and then turn around and get back on I-66 going the other way.

We finally get parked and I see a man standing by his car. He asks of us if we have these...



Luckily I had some in my trunk. We tried to jump start his car, but I think there was more wrong than just a dead battery. We made sure he had a cell phone to call someone.

Finally we got our tickets and went to see...



It was a much needed girl night and so much fun!
