1.Superbowl Sunday.
We had a mighty fun party in hopes that the Colts would pull through for us, but that was not the case. However, our party was not in vain because we still had fun nonetheless. It was made up of lots of friends who brought lots of yummy food. I think we had like 80 different types of dip. Jk more like 3.
Luke, of course, got into the Superbowl spirit and made a collage of all the pictures he could find of the Saints or the Colts in the past year's worth of ESPN magazines. It's still on our wall. In fact, he just came home 5 minutes ago, admired it, and said, "I think this should stay up here forever". And it might. We also had blue streamers up across our ceiling to show our Colts pride.
He was so sad the Colts lost... :(I need to be better at taking pictures. I told myself to take lots and then ended up with only like 4.
2. 80's Roller Skating
Our ward had an activity last night at Classic Skating, and it was 80's themed. Who knew that roller skating was so hard? Geez, I remember being like 5 and flying around the rink. Or maybe I just thought that I was super good, but really wasn't. Either way, I was sufficiently worse last night than I was when I was younger. I didn't fall though. And props go out to my hubby for doing very well on his first roller skating experience. We did so well, in fact, that us and 2 other couples won a super cool flash light ring for being really good and winning a game! Woo woo.
Here's my flashlight ring. (Does any one else think I look creepy/ weird in this pic? Maybe it's because I'm SO stinkin' white. Summer! Please come!)3. I love my new coasters!
We often bring drinks and snacks into the family room while watching t.v. or a movie and we started to see water rings on the end tables from our cups, so I bought some coasters, and I absolutely love them. They make me happy.
4. Valentine's Day is coming up.
Our plans consist of spending time up at a cabin with some friends. Should be lots of fun. It's fun to think that this will be our THIRD V-day together, and each year we have been in a different stage. 2 years ago we were friends and Luke took me out to Tucanos. Last year we were dating (ha... but it also happened to be the day that I bought my wedding dress.) and this year, of course, we are married and loving it.
5..... Ok so I don't really have a #5.
So I'll just make a quick shout out to Jay-Z for making my current favorite song, "Empire State of Mind", from which the title of this post comes.
Basically.. that's the latest around here.
:)
