Celebrations

We have had some fun parties & celebrations going on lately..

Last weekend we had a Caribbean dinner party at our friends Val & Brian's house. We had lots of good food and a couple good drinks! Since we weren't going anywhere warm we decided to bring the Caribbean to North Dakota!

The "spread" - Jamaican jerk chicken, Caribbean rice, fruit, shrimp...all kinds of delicious food...

Me & Val all smiles with our pina coladas...

Jay & me enjoyin' a Jamaican Red Stripe...yeah mon!

It was a lot of fun actually getting to cook in a nice kitchen at their house!

Speaking of houses...we got our bid back last Wednesday and we think we are going forward with building the house plan that we have been going over with the builder for the last few weeks. We need to meet with the bank on Monday to make sure we can go ahead with everything. Pending that, it's probably just going to be meeting with the builder about a few more questions & changes and we'll probably be signing a contract with them soon!

We also had a couple birthdays this past week. Our sister-in-law Val had a birthday on Feb. 6th and I met her and a couple others out at BWW the night before to help celebrate that and also to get her sister-in-law Missy out of the house after having a baby a few weeks ago!

On Feb. 8th it was my friend Sara's birthday. We weren't able to celebrate it with her this year since she is up in GF now but may get to see her when we are there in a couple weeks.

Feb. 8th was also our niece McKenzie's 4th birthday. We went to Kenzie's party last night at the Ramkota which was a lot of fun too!!

So in the midst of all this cold weather we've been having, we have found some fun things to do which helps pass the time until it's nice out again!

We hope everyone has a great week and we'll update again soon I'm sure!
