Partying with the Hubers

Not last night but the night before (sounds like a funny song or something huh?) my family was blessed to spend some time with some very close family friends of ours. The Hubers had moved to Washington state a while ago and had not been back since except for a brief stint about a year ago.

There are few things that I love in my life as much as getting together with the Hubers. Hanging out with my friend Ray is just one of those things that all men should get to experience. His common sense nature, his ability to find humor in almost anything, his rugged, UFC masculine nature mixed with the soft side of his father persona  make hanging out with him a treat for me every single time. He is just the kind of guy a guy wants to hang with and not in that gay guy kind of way. Plus he eats like a horse and brings out of me the best of my eating abilities.

It was a much desired and much needed time of fellowship for me Saturday evening. I was able to hang out with Ray and our mutual friend Tim. We talked UFC, work, parenting preteen girls, food... the whole bit. We ate and ate and ate. We watched UFC. It was awesome man time. Plus it gave Sandi a pretty good amount of girl time, too. All in all it was a great time.

We even had their oldest daughter, Kayla, spend the night with us so our girls had a hugely loud and obnoxious time the night before a big old birthday party for Alaynah. So this past weekend was a great weekend for me and my family. Part of me is sad it is over and part of me just wants to rest.
