Endless Enchiladas

The last few days, the weather has been SO NICE (in the high 50’s, especially after getting snow just a few weeks ago), that tonight Autumn & I decided to go on a walk around the duck ponds.  It was HEAVENLY, and I didn’t realize how much I have missed being able to be outside.  Autumn kept running up to the fire hydrants and would hold onto the sides of them and pretend like she was driving a car.  She wanted to go throw some rocks in the ponds, but after my nightmare last night, I didn’t let her get very close.

As we were walking around the ponds, I noticed all these green shoots coming up out of these cut off umbrella plants.  It made me SO EXCITED to see green buds starting to grow b/c that means Spring is on the way and Spring is by far my favorite season of the year.  It’s little things like this that bring me such happiness.

Tonight after our walk, we went over to On The Border to eat dinner w/ Stacey and Jared…

…and Liz & Liberty.
  I let Autumn bring her Barbie w/ her to keep her entertained.  However, Liz was more entertained w/ it and kept petting Liberty’s face w/ it.  Autumn got the biggest kick out of that and was laughing non-stop.  People around us were laughing at Autumn laughing b/c her laugh was so funny and contagious.

Jared and I decided to have a contest as to who could eat the most enchiladas since it was all you can eat.  We both started off w/ 2 and finished those off w/ no problem.  So, we both ordered 2 more.  We both ate those w/ no problem again.  Jared decided to go another round, so I had to keep up since it was a contest.  He was only able to finish 5 enchiladas.

I, however, was able to finish all 6 of mine.  I didn’t feel sick right at first, but then when I got home about 15 minutes later, I started feeling all 6 of them sitting in my stomach…yuck!  It’s a good thing Autumn & I had gone on a walk/jog around the duck ponds earlier.  I’ll have to do some major working to work off all those calories.  But, it was still a fun evening w/ friends.

Nate came over to say hi, which was a fun surprise.  Then Nick got home from work and we watched Will & Grace…I love that show.  I’m so glad that my family is so close and that we’re not just family, we’re friends.  I just wish Lex & Jon & Andrew lived closer so we could see them more often, too.
