I am linking up today with Aloha Friday Blog Hop!
Recently the hubs and I have made new friends....I feel like such a school girl when I say that. ;) Honestly I read an article a few months back that said once you reach a certain age it starts becoming harder to make new friends. I believe the age in the article was 28...and I am....seriously like I was going to tell you!! (okay...I'm not vain I am...5+17+8+2+9-5= my age) It's prefect because their 2 children are in the same grades as our two youngest and we actually "knew" them from one season my son played flag football. We were invited over for an evening of dinner and conversation. Which as any mother knows you NEVER pass up adult conversation. So like any good guest I brought cookies and wine!! (two major food groups). They had also invited two of their friends who happened to be brothers. Now before I go any further in this story please let me explain my hubs to you. He is a serious man. He can have fun and be silly but that is usually within the privacy of our own home. He is very black and white and by the rules sort of person...Josh takes after him very much so.
I would say we had been at their home for maybe 30 minutes and our host husband decides to show my husband things you can set on fire in a microwave. Honestly...did you know you can take a grape and cause flames in your microwave??? I had no clue!
So the other guys show up and we had a wonderful dinner...I would be so fat if I lived there!! The guys sat around the table joking and laughing and talking about the silliest things you have ever heard of. Then....they decided to set more things on fire with the microwave. So picture in your mind 4 men, age's somewhere in their upper 30's, standing around the microwave watching flames and laughing like little boys. They seriously were running around grabbing more things to microwave. Then when they were done with that the host husband grabbed his "super cool" flashlight and was showing it off to the other "boys"...which ended up with them going outside in the dark to "play" with the flashlights. I stood in awe watching....
What makes it even better was that night when my honey was sleeping he started talking in his sleep.... actually he started giggling and a few times I heard him say "fire". :)
Thanks so much for stopping by if your new here I would LOVE for you to follow along. Send me a hello!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
Cute. Boys will be boys at any age. My husband most assuredly still is =)

Hell I AM 28 and making new *REAL* friends is hard.
ReplyDeleteHA!! My husband sounds very much like yours. Once upon a time he was a police officer, very by the book. Until he was off duty and with other off-duty police officers. They were like a bunch of 7-year old boys high on pixie stick sugar.
ReplyDeleteIt does get harder to make friends the older you get! I'm only 25 and my husband and I struggle with finding friends to spend time with all the time! And boys will be boys... they never grow up. Never, ever!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I kinda wish I didn't know that grapes catch fire in the microwave. I just happen to have a bag of grapes sitting in the fridge right now. Off to the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh..that is so funny! boys NEVER grow up..they only get taller. you have the proof.
ReplyDeleteboys will be boys....and i think that's why we like them, secretly! i agree, making friends as an adult is a whole different ball game.

How cute, I seriously could picture the grown men around the microwave.
ReplyDeleteI found once I was a wife and mother making friends was hard, everyone my age were avoiding the things I was striving for with my family. I was growing up and they were trying their best to live the party life. There is a pretty big age difference from my husband and I and with the new friends we have made. WE are a bit younger than them, but they are in a place that we are in our lives so we get along great with them age difference aside.
