A Little Random Story:

Is it seriously already Friday? I can not believe how fast this week has gone by. I've been meaning to write about last weekend but had yet to get a chance...until now. My dad, step-mom, brother and grandma and grandpa visited last weekend. And we had such a great time! Granny Peg (step-mom) has made it a goal of hers to see Rylie at least every six weeks...and she does a good job of making that happen! So it was time for a visit and they brought along my grandparents (who had never been to my house before, so it was nice to finally be able to have them over). We didn't do much of anything. But sometimes, those turn out to be the best. We planned a steak dinner for Saturday night and we had cheesy potatoes (thanks, Ruby...they were a favorite), cucumber salad, side salad, and rolls. And for dessert, Brian made a strawberry pie and I made a peanut butter pie. I'm sure you all couldn't care less what we had to eat but I AM going somewhere with this post...I promise! Brian is naturally competitive and although I grew up playing sports, I don't tend to be overly competitive. But when my husband started to taunt me about how much better his dessert was than mine...I couldn't hold back! So after dinner, we put a piece of each on everyone's dessert plate and made them vote on their favorite. And yes, we actually had them tally mark under my name for the peanut butter pie or under Brian's for the strawberry pie. Now, I know that some of you are thinking that this was kind of cruel to put them on the spot like that, but it was all in fun and we had a great time doing it! And after the nation wide vote...oh wait, this isn't American Idol! After the 5 person vote...I won!!! I seriously won. My peanut butter pie was a favorite. I beat Brian. My pie was better than his pie. I won! Well, maybe I am a bit more competitive than I realize. But seriously, who doesn't prefer chocolate pudding and reese's peanut butter cups over fresh strawberries? Don't answer that...it doesn't matter if you prefer strawberries. I already WON!
