Bunko anyone?



Last night we had a bunch of couples from the ward over for a big Bunko night. It was an absolute blast! Let me tell you, if you want a way to get a bunch of people who don't know each other feeling comfortable really fast, bunko is the way to do it. We have several people who are interested in getting together on a semi-regular basis now. I know many of you are reading this and saying to themselves...Kevin and Carli are being the social bees....trust me this is strange for us to think about as well. But we're loving every minute of it. Kevin even went so far as to invite all of the guys over for a big Wii tournament while the girls go and do "whatever it is that girls like to do". :) We caught a few pictures just for you toward the end of all of the fun. These occurred as we were doing the prizes. The coveted prize for the guys was feetsy dinosaur pajamas that glow in the dark.



Sean ended up grabbing them and was such a good sport to show them off to all of us despite the 100 degree weather. And in case you are wondering, 14 people in a one bedroom apartment in 100 degrees is very warm....totally worth it though.

The other convenient thing is Kevin managed to snap some pictures with Susan and Talmage in them. For those of you who don't know...they're practically our better half. We're at their place nearly as much as our own and I know San Jose wouldn't be nearly as great if they weren't here. Anyways, it's only a glimpse but you can kind of put a face to the name....Susan is the one in white with curly hair that is pinned up...and Talmage is the blond with a BYU cap on.




We're really grateful for the friends that we've been able to make and for all of the friends that we hope to get to know even better. Hopefully there will be many more bunko nights to come...

One of my coworkers bought those pajamas this summer! Nice to know you can get them all over the nation. :)

Kirstin totally tattled on me. Yes I have some because I GOT THEM FOR CHRISTMAS. And I'm not ashamed to say I love them. They're very comfy:-)
