We had quite an eventful weekend. On Friday night, we had a wonderful birthday dinner for one of Kelly’s friends and her family at Red Robin. Lorena and I split one of their wonderful Whiskey River Barbecue burgers, but it was still way too much. Kelly and Christian went home with our friends, so Lorena had the rest of the evening and the next day to ourselves. We had a great time culminating in some shopping and eating at the Brier Creek mall before we went to the main birthday party and a HUGE potluck dinner on Saturday evening. The family there had just purchased a miniature dachshund puppy. It was a great little dog. I want one. We used to have full sized dachshunds when I was growing up. Maybe in a year, we will get one or two of them for the kids. On Sunday, we went over to the house of a young married couple, Troy and Youngin for lunch after meeting. She cooked Korean barbecue for us. WOW was it good. I really would like to learn how to do that. It was awesome. They had purchased an really great house with huge front and back yards, big trees, and a ton of birdhouses and feeders. We were all very excited for them.

The upshot is that I fell off the wagon again on the diet. Bryan is just KILLING me. I am going to have to start planning my comeback even though Grandpa Milo is coming on Wednesday and will be cooking like a maniac. Maybe I should just resign myself to being fat.
