we have the coolest friends ever.

This weekend we invited our friends over to have dinner and watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. In the texts preceding the hang out Craig had been joking that the required attire was a speedo or a unitard. Well, Friday night our friends showed up at our door and knocked.  We didn’t hear them, so […]
