hc told me one night that our friend jody was going to be playing with his band an upcoming saturday night. he asked if i wanted to go…hello! of course! we haven’t really hung out with lisa and jody in awhile {besides pete and ken’s wedding, but that was a whirlwind} so i was totally game on hanging out with them; besides that, i wouldn’t want to miss out on jody playing the drums!

they were playing at a bar called bannerman’s later in the evening. we got ourselves ready and headed out for some fun. the bar wasn’t too far away, i thought it would take longer to get out there but it definitely was out in the land of strip malls and who knows what!

when we got there, the whole gang was already drinking it up! hc met lisa and jody when he lived on ‘the bend’. these two are definitely a fun bunch. they have always been so welcoming with their home, they throw the best parties, and are seriously very kind people. plus, lisa is an amazing cook! she always had something yummy at her house or could whip up something tasty in a nano second. we totally miss seeing them on a weekly basis!

of course, as soon as we got there, a round of shots were ordered!

[shots!]

it was mainly lisa’s side of the family there supporting jody and his band. hc is pretty close to lisa’s nephew, travis. a totally fun, crazy guy.

[jody singing! such a great performer]

we ordered drinks and food. danced along to all the songs they were playing. did a lot of catching up with the group. we couldn’t believe lisa’s daughter, taylor, is now 21! how crazy! i remember her just starting high school and now she’s having a beer with us! my how time flies.

[ahhhhh, are we drunk?]

after noshing and imbibing all night, we had to call it quits. we had to get home to the babysitter! we seriously had a great time. hc and i don’t get out much, by ourselves, so we throughly enjoyed being out with friends, drinking, and having a good time!

before jody started his second set with the band, we said our goodbyes and headed home. we really did have a great time out but it always feels so great to go home; the comfort of our place is the best and we get to sneak peek at our presh little babes fast asleep. the greatest reason to come home to!
