The Weekend Update.

So we did it......we got a doggie - he's a puggle (a pug/beagle mix) that's full of life. He's real cute too. We named him Guinness.

It was a fun weekend. There was lots of randomness. We ended up seeing lots of friends we haven't been able to connect with in awhile.
It was a weekend of people randomly calling us and asking if they could stop by to visit. For some reason that happened a bunch this weekend and it was so strange cause we're more of the "let's make plans and go hang out" type of people.
I've become somewhat of a homebody since getting married so I prefer if people come over rather than we go visit them.
Besides the fact that our house was a mess we loved being able to hang out with people we hadn't really had quality time with in awhile.
There's such a difference in just hanging out and good quality time. I guess both can be quality but I love the realness of good quality time that's spent talking about what's really going on in life and getting past all the superficial crap.
I don't always have to have deep conversations with people or anything but when it comes to good friends I have to have some point of connection to where I feel I'm investing in them as a person as well as they're investing in me the same way.

Good times with good friends is really all I need in life to make me happy.

We also somehow ended up in Belleville on friday night and stumbled upon what I guess was the annual town Chili Cook off.
They had about 7 blocks closed on main street and there thousands of people there. I didn't even know that many people lived in Belleville. Anyway so that was fun for the people watching. I love going to events like that and watching people more than I do even participating in the actual activities going on. There sure were a lot of interesting peeps there.
