After a long week, Ryan and I had tickets to see the San Francisco Ballet perform Romeo and Juliet. We got dressed up and enjoyed a glass of wine while recapping our week. Then headed off to The Kennedy Center in D.C., to enjoy the performance. An amazing, much needed date night!

The best part about date night with Ryan, remembering you are never too old to be silly
Last night when I checked Facebook, I saw pictures and pictures of different groups of friends, gathering together to have what I call a “Friends-giving”.
I am not sure when this tradition began or if we are all have just gotten to the age where getting together to celebrate our friendships, over a delicious meal is appealing but I love the fact that it is becoming a tradition.
I have always said friends are the family you choose and it is only right to sit as a family and be thankful for each others company.
My weekend was packed full of reminders of the amazing people that I have the opportunity to surround myself with.
Saturday was “Friends-giving!” We hosted great friends and even baked our first turkey! A game of Apple’s to Apple’s and a few glasses of warm rum cider later, I deemed it a very successful night!
