Happily Boring

{Kelly & Katie--that title is for you! :)}

Happy Monday everyone! Is anyone else NOT pumped that it's the start of another work week? I will say that I am starting to love Mondays more and more because it's my ONE day a week that I allow myself a Starbucks!

YUM!

This weekend was another fabulously low key one, although we had a lot going on. Friday night we had some friends over for dinner! I made Beef & Broccoli, Spicy Thai Peanut Noodle Salad, Fried Rice and Homemade Egg Rolls {I'll be sharing the recipe later this week.} I have never cooked for that many people before but all the food turned out GREAT and everyone loved it!

A shot of Sake to really bring home the Asian themed meal. 

Saturday I got to sleep in and snuggle with the husby and the puggle and then spent nearly five hours at my sister's dance competition...and loved every minute of it! I was a dancer growing up and in high school so I absolutely love reliving the glory days! My sister, however, is about 10,000,000,000 times the dancer that I ever was! I am so proud and have so much fun watching her! She's on the Varsity Kick team as a FRESHMAN and on the JV Jazz Team. 

Me, Kara, Kara's BFF, Bella, and Bella's sister Kendra after the meet. 

They absolutely KILLED their kick routine. They got second place out of 23 teams! Although, they got screwwwwwed...and I'm not just saying that....they really deserved to win. 

For those you dance enthusiasts like myself, here is their kick routine! Sheer amazingness! I wish I could point out my baby sister.

After the competition, my hubby met up with me and my dad for a drink and watch the T-Wolves game.

Sunday I spent the afternoon at a retreat for AOTT. I am the Social Advisor for the chapter and since they just had elections we had a meeting with all the advisors and all the new officers to discuss goals for the next year. The best part was going to lunch with two of my best college girlfriends afterwards. We revisited our old stomping grounds, The Library, for a Bloody Mary and cheeseburger. As always it's great catching up and reminiscing with these girls, they make me laugh til my stomach hurts.

Finally, last night my amazing husband brought me to see Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

As I mentioned last week, I am obsessed with Tom Hanks and it was absolutely VITAL that I see this movie opening weekend. IT WAS SO GOOD! I cried like a baby and Jason even teared up {NO JOKE!} but it was such an incredible story and of course had incredible performances from Tom, Sandra Bullock and the little boy, Thomas Horn. I definitely recommend it, but wear waterproof mascara!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
