Visiting good friends

We've been busy lately, but it's been a good busy. This past weekend we were able to connect with some friends we haven't seen in a while and it was so refreshing (although I am blogging now basically to have something to do so I don't fall asleep, we're refreshed in other ways). We were on stint with Josh & Beth and Duv a few years ago so the weekend brought with it a lot of Chinese (language and food) and fun times. We even got to meet Duv's girl Katie who was really fun to get to know. All in all, a good weekend.

We all played a fun and CLOSE game of mini golf. Top moments include hole-in-ones for me and B.Roo and an amazing unexpected birdie to tie the Duvs up by Katie.


The girls. I was soooo tired from my red-eye and you can totally tell from this picture but I thought I'd put it up anyway.

The dudes all wore plaid shorts on Friday. Goofs.

Chinese Olympics & Fried Rice

This might be one of the best Friday nights we've had in a while. I'm convinced that the harder you work during the week, the more refreshing are your restful weekends. I've always been a work hard - play hard kind of guy, so lately it's been just that.

To celebrate the kickoff of this well-deserved weekend, we combined some Day 1 Chinese Olympics with some homemade fried rice. Both Carrie and I couldn't get the thought of some kind of Chinese food away from our growling stomachs for some reason (I'm convinced that visits to American Chinese restaurants will have a nice peak this summer as Americans watch the Olympic games in China, but we'll see). Speaking of the Olympics, did you know that MSNBC is offering live and on-demand coverage of all of the Olympic events, including badminton, fencing, and even JUDO?? We've been enjoying some soccer tonight.... Though Japan had at least 4-5 close goal attempts, the US pulled away with a 1-0 victory in its first match.

the wok finally got a little action...
