So here are some pictures of the blessed occasion...also - it should be noted that I had to go from the car to the gymnasium under a torrential downpour of rain - which is why my hair looks like THAT!
Also Ross & I went to Maggiano's for dinner tonight on the invitation of our friends - who were celebrating their 9th wedding anniversary. We really had a lot of fun! The food was great - a little spendy for the ravioli's not being laced with gold or anything - and the service was - well, probably provided by those who only saw one "graduation" - or maybe two if you counted the Kindergarten gradutation.
As I was saying - we went with our friends, Mike - and his wife, Larri...and another couple, Nate & Mandy! Mandy made the reservations on line and mentioned that it was Mike & Larri's anniversary. The names were spelled wrong, so apparently as we were being seated - with a special print-out menu which included on the bottom "Happy Anniversary Mike & Larry" (spelled wrong!) The faculty at Maggiano's were trying to figure out of the three men who were there, which two were Mike & Larry, we were all sitting couples on a round table, but Ross & Nate were sitting next to each other so they just assumed it was THEM celebrating an anniversary of sorts. We had a nice little laugh about it - and thought we explained to the high school drop out of a server who the happy couple was.
Nate, Mandy, Larri & Mike left quickly at the end of the meal to catch the latest Indiana Jones flick (which we saw just prior to the 8th grade promotion and torential downpour) so we stayed behind to make sure all the ice cream and cheese cake was consumed. I couldn't finish the cheesecake, so our HS dropout boxed it up and brought it back to Ross and told him that he could share it with Mike later tonight...or tomorrow...uh? She still thought (even though the other two couples had gone - and Ross and I were left with the baby) that Nate & Ross were actually "Larry and Mike" celebrating some kind of anniversary.
Yes, we got a kick out of that...I must have been the surrogate mother and gifted them this cute little child for their anniversary? Who ever knows what goes through the heads of little girls who only make it to their 8th grade promotional ceremony?
(insert pictures here - LARRI - e-mail them to me! can't wait to see them!)
Also earlier today the kids went to do baptisms at the temple! This was Kiersten's first time! She really enjoyed it! I'm thrilled! It seems like she's finally starting to make friends in this ward. It's been difficult for her!
Okay - that's the weekend! I was supposed to go hot tubbing with another girlfriend tonight - but I forgot about it - and well, it was a toss up - pricey food and having my husband mistaken for a gay anniversary couple - or - hanging out in a hot tub wearing my only fitting swim suit which happens to be maternity? Yah - hmmm, Guess I'll go eat so I can fit into that maternity swim suit again?
