Best of Both Worlds- Part One

Last night we rung in the New Year at our Second Annual Best of Both Worlds party. We started off the evening with a wonderful fancy dinner at Truluck's Restaurant. They had set up a fun festive atmosphere with party hats and staff taking group photos.

The food was wonderful and we had to have their special Chocolate Bag dessert. They take a hard chocolate shell (shaped like a bag) and fill it with pound cake, whipped cream, and berries. Tableside, they rip open the bag and pour hot fudge on the cake and berries. It is divine!

Joining us for the evening were some of our great friends. Jessica and Mo are in our Sunday school class, so we have known them for over 4 years. They had just drove in from Christmas in Indiana and looked fabulous for such little sleep!

Rob and Christi Utley are also in our Sunday School class. They are the hostess' with the mostest as they always open their house to our class. We have lots of posts on this blog from their media room! Christi also introduced me to Viva Day Spa.

Brian and Carrie Betzen also joined us last year. Carrie and Marcus worked together at ASI. They are lots of fun and blend right in with other couples so well. Carrie also has the best laugh!


This is Rob's dinner plate- a new specialty called the "Lounging Lobster". They take out all the lobster meat and tempure fry it (think lobster nuggets) and then lay out the shell with the tail as a river holding the sauce. It was quite funny to picture the lobster laying on his back with his "arms" behing his head lounging.
