Tuesday was a date with the Darrs. Sometimes when we have dinner with the Darrs it seems like a movie. We converse, eat dinner, and then Brand goes and talks shop with Jared while Amanda and I discuss woman things while playing with the baby. It's a bit surreal to do something that seems so grown-up. Dinner with another married couple. We do it monthly and we discuss our shared college years at Eastern, our jobs, the babies, the future babies, the dogs, food, and other grown-uppy things. I enjoy it though. It's still hanging out with friends we just have different things to discuss than stupid boys, stupid girls, celebrity fashions, and our deep dark secrets. The great thing is that we are still those people we're just a little older and married. For instance, Amanda was at the store and saw this magnificent cookie that she absolutely had to buy, it was big enough to split four ways so we enjoyed the awesomeness that was the cookie:
Cute little doggies playing on the grass with their bones...oh and chocolate poo piles. It pretty much does not get better than that :)
I love my friends, married, single, engaged, jaded, involved in the complicated relationships. I've never got why some married people think they can only exclusively hang out with married couples or they try to get their single friends married. I love marriage and I'm excited for my friends to experience it..but I'm excited for them
now too. I'm excited for the lives they have now and the experiences they get to have. And I'm excited I have friends across the spectrum and that I get to spend time with all my friends and that I get to see all my friends live out their lives.
So even though the married couple monthly dinner date is a bit surreal, it's wonderful to spend time with friends no matter what the setting.
