Dinner Dates...

We all live busy lives... Nate is busy with teeth, I'm busy with 10 year-olds, Jeff is busy with money, and Maxi is busy with Lauren Brea! But we've created an exclusive dinner club that meets once a month, the first Monday of every month. We take turns cooking (which is good for Maxi and I to develop our "cooking skills"), but we moreso just love to get together and hang-out.

We have our monthly meetings, but we also have random, spontaneous dinner dates too! My favorite thing about living close to each other is that we can do exactly that. Here is the conversation that happened last Tuesday!

Me: What are you guys having for dinner tonight? I need an idea for Nate and I...
Maxi: Well, we're gonna have Mac n' Cheese with grilled chicken. Do you guys just wanna come eat with us?
Me: Really? Okay! We'll bring a salad and some cornbread.
Maxi: Sounds good, see you at 8.


And it was as simple as that! Maxi and Jeff, Mom and Dad, and Nate and I met for dinner on an hour's notice... living in a 5 mile radius of each other definitely pays off. Now we just need to get Brook, Macy, and Daveed to move back to Colorado!

Side-note #1: Our dinner group isn't exclusive, that word just sounded fancy! We would love more people!

Side-note #2: I really do need more cooking ideas for Nate and I, please send recipes!
