Weekend Recap

Well we are settling into Boise now and getting to know a few more people. When we first moved here the only couple we knew was Brookes' best friend growing up Brandon Scheaffer and his wife Nikole. We would not have made it our first few months here without them. We love doing things with them but, this weekend we branched out a little and figured it was time to meet some people in our ward. So on Friday night we went out to dinner with a couple in our ward to Carino's. It's an Italian restaurant here in Idaho. After dinner we then went back to their home and played a game called "ticket to ride". It was a fun game. We were there until almost midnight. They were a cute couple and we had a good time.

On Saturday we ran errands and drove around and looked at houses for sale here in Meridian. We have not found anything we can't live without. That evening Brooke's boss invited us out to eat with him and his wife and then to attend their sons high school basketball game. We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. The dinner was very good but, unfortunately their sons team lost pretty bad. Brooke is really lucky his boss is a really good guy. We really enjoy the time we spend with him and his wife.

Sunday of course was spent at church and choir practice but, we did invite a couple in our ward here over for dinner. They live here in our apartment complex. They moved here a month before us from Idaho Falls. They brought their little girl with them and she loved following Toby around. Although, Toby was not real thrilled with the idea. He didn't like that she could also fit behind the couch. We had a nice time getting to know them. I had made dinner and she offered to bring dessert. So all in all it was a pretty busy weekend. We are getting to know people and that makes it feel more like home. Although, it would feel a lot more like home if I could have all my belongings from Ohio here with me or I actually had a home. All in due time.

Okay, I guess you can have other friends...if you have to. :) Just kidding. I am glad you are branching out and "living where you live." It has been so much fun having you guys nearby! We love hanging out with you. I'm glad we could make you feel welcome in the land of the potato.
