So, I just moved into my new house on Saturday and Sunday, then while still in the middle of cleaning the old house in the hopes of getting my deposit back, unpacking in order to help my family settle in to our new house, my poor wife is like 8months pregnant with our second child. Brent, Alex and I catered a Birthday party with 11 adult guests enjoying our five(turned six) coarse dinner while the 4 children enjoyed our take on a American classic.
This was a very fun night, just what I needed to take a break from moving. it was awesome.
