January Bonfires

So yesterday I told myself that I was going to dedicate my day today after work to working on school & homework. I only have about a bazillion assignments due next week.

Anyway, I get off work, head home, grab my backpack & go down to Panera Bread for some yummy soup & salad while I work on school.

I was there all of about 30 minutes when I get a text asking Ben if I wanted to meet him & his family at his grandparents' house to roast hot dogs & marshmallows. Ditch school work to have a bonfire in January or stay & work on doing a book review for my class? Hmm, hard choice there. So I packed up & got my hiney movin!

My Friday night in picture review (:

This is Ben's nephew. He said the fire was too bright for his eyes. Haha.

 Watermelon?! In January?! By a bonfire?!

 Took us 4 tries to finally get a normal one. I was starting to think it wasn't going to happen. Haha.

 Beautiful moon.

 Ben's littlest brother, him, & his nephew.

Cutie pie.

Charlie was our photographer. He would take a picture, look at it, laugh hysterically & say "okay lets do it again!"

Apparently we couldn't seem to take a normal picture either..

We made some pretty sweet light designs.

All in all, my Friday night didn't go as planned...it was better! We laughed, talked, took some pictures (my favorite), ate some yummy food, told stories. It was perfection (anyone catch my Friends reference there?)

In Other Weekend News:

     -My dad flew in to town today! For the next 2 weeks! WOOHOO!

     -Sunday will consist of 2 exciting things:

          1. I am getting baptized! & both my parents, two sisters, & possibly grandmother will be there to see it. YIKES! Nervous & excited at the same time..

          2. My bestest & oldest friend is getting MARRIED! I am so beyond excited - can you tell?

Now about that homework I blew off earlier...
