a few months ago, my book club read this.

then we planned a book club + spouses-were-invited date night…

we had dinner at a fave pizzeria & went to the movie!

the movie ~


…it wasn’t “the most spectacular show on earth!” but, it was good.

beware: the animal cruelty at times is rough on the eyes. i felt a bit like a little kid when i had to plug my ears and close my eyes… my heart is tender towards animals, so those scenes were tough to watch.

“cheers!” to twelve years!

shannon & casey are one of the cutest couples around,
and on saturday we actually tagged-along on their
twelth anniversary date!

shannon has a private blog, so not all of you can read her cute engagement story she re-told for their anniversary, but it’s so sweet, I just had to post a snip-it of it here…

“(Our engagement story…)

It was in Boise that Casey surprised me with a proposal and it was those mighty home runs that paid for my ring. The Boise Hawks had a “Booster Club” that passed around “money buckets” to a nightly sold out crowd of @ 5,000 people any time one of the players hit a home run.

dinner & a movie…

October 24, 2009

one of my favorite combinations,
with one of my favorite couples.

we met up with the taylors in slc for delicious italian cuisine and a movie. scotty has spent time in italy, and he has great taste for choosing italian restaurants.

Michaelangelo did not disappoint. i had a caprese salad and grilled salmon that was really good.

highly recommended.

scotty and i have been friends since we were fifteen years old, he has always been such a loyal friend. i not only cherish our friendship, but i also adore his beautiful wife. literally, after 30 minutes together not only my stomach hurt from laughing –
