One is silver and the other is gold

June 19, 2009 is a historic day. This is the day that we FINALLY got to hang out with the Hansens after trying for over a year (they're just so POPULAR!! okay, or all four of us are just so busy...). Spencer has been one of my best friends since high school and it's hard to imagine anyone being more cool, right? Enter Elizabeth. It has been so much fun getting to know her (two best friends for the price of one!) and I've been so impressed with what a great person she is. They invited us over to their condo and made us a DELICIOUS dinner (with an EVEN MORE delicious dessert.... too busy eating.... too tasty... no time for pictures).

We had so much fun talking to them about everything. They made us feel better about the house hunt (if your cabinets are ugly, you can paint them and they'll look awesome) and gave us some good advice for while we're looking. We feel like we have so much in common with these two since Adam and Elizabeth both teach high school and Spencer and I both spend our days at the business school. It's nice to relate so well.

They took us on the grand tour of the house and again I was so impressed with Elizabeth's creativity and decorating skills. She MADE so many things that made their house so great and stylish and fun. I think I need to take lessons. Really though. I've been thinking maybe we should get a group of us together (just once a month or so) who like to be crafty and arty and we could either bring our own projects and work on them or we could pick something we all want to learn and do something together (I nominate Elizabeth to teach us something cool. And Steph Rollins--you're always making pretty impressive stuff) and we could all be creative together. What do you think? I would love it. It would force me to set aside creative time and help me work on some of my projects I always want to get done. And once a month is doable (or more if we choose). What do you guys think? Anyone in? I love all my artistic friends (even those of you who don't think you are but really you're AWESOME and don't give yourself enough credit... we're all learning in some way).

Anyway, awesome night with great friends. I came home hurting from laughing so hard ("COW!! Man, I don't get why you guys are having such a hard time with this game..." ). Thanks again Spencer and Elizabeth!! Let's do it again SOON!!!

P.S. Spence, I'm really sorry about Michael Jackson. Can you believe it? After we were just talking about him and looking at your awesome red sequined jacket? I promise I'll never try to steal your white glove again. Especially now. I'm gonna make a change for once in my life. It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right... Who am I, to be blind? Pretending I don't see your needs?
