Family, Friends, and Fun!

We have been having some good times lately! This past week, my precious, sweet husband did a most thoughtful thing ~ he surprised me with tickets to the 50th Anniversary of the World Premiere of "The Three Faces of Eve," which originally premiered here in Augusta in 1957. It was amazing!! We toured the old Miller Theater, had a nice dinner downtown, attended a discussion before the movie, and watched the movie. We had a wonderful, fun date night! I have the most wonderful hubby in the world, and definitely the most thoughtful one! He even surprised me further by buying a new dress for our date!

Alli didn't really like the idea of us being alone in a picture, so she joined in the fun. Gigi came down and kept her for the evening; they had a blast at Chuck E. Cheese and ended the evening with an ice cream treat!

We have stayed busy and had fun with our friends lately, as well. Our Supper Club continues to be such fun, and we have a great group of 7 couples. We also have a good time with other friends, as well. Not long ago, we had the Carrs (Kelly and Ben, although Ben was on call and could not join us), the Greers (Emily and Stephen), and the Greggs (Elizabeth and Neal) over for dinner. The kids were here, too, so it was a great time!

Alli and Maddox Greer have been spending a lot of time together, as usual. Everyone asks us parents if we are scheming to "set them up" one day ~ but we don't know about that ~ it may be a little bit weird, considering they are more like brother and sister. They love to sing and dance together, snuggle together, play, and eat supper ~ a favorite meal for both is cheese quesadillas and edamame!

Alli has had a blast doing other things, as well. She loves to pretend she is "skiing" around the house, and she recently had her first experience with puppies at some friends' house. Their dogs had quite a litter, and Alli had way too much fun playing with all of them! A favorite treat is going across the street to Miss Linda's house with Daddy and going for a swim. As you can see, Alli has no fear! Nothing makes her hesitate ~ even jumping off the diving board!

Thanks to all of our friends and neighbors ~ we love you all and are having such fun! Mostly, thank you, Brad, for being so amazing!! You are always coming up with ways to surprise me and "treat" me to something fun. You have no idea how much I appreciate all of your planning when you plan our special date nights. :) I love you more than I can say!!! And I am looking forward to our date this week (that you planned) to see "Grease" downtown with the McCurdys!
