Hunters safety, Couples Night & an Open House

I didn’t get around to writing earlier this week but not much happened. Tonight is Jon’s second hunter’s safety class. On Monday night I went with him to his first class. Jon said he found it very interesting I, on the other hand, was just happy to be there with him rather than at home alone :). They covered so many things I would never remember it all. Jon said he knew a lot of it already though, and the stuff he knew already was the stuff I thought was the most confusing; so he should be in good shape for his test at the end of the course. I’m not sure if I’ll go with him tonight or not. I’m torn since there’s a lot I should get done at home but I don’t like staying home alone plus I don’t get to be with Jon that often so it would be nice to spend the night with him. This coming Saturday night we’re having a young married couple’s night at our house and I have a list of things I’d like to get done before then. Last month was the first “couple’s night” at the Herr’s and we hope to continue the event once every month. There’re 4 other couples that are part of the group: Ian and Ashley, Nate and Shawna, Dwayne and Rachel and Brian and Sarah. It’s a lot of fun getting together with all of them. Last month we did a 3 course fondue night and at our house Saturday we’re doing hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill with funnel cake for dessert. Nate and Shawna can’t make it this month so there are 8 of us but that’s a full house for us! We’re going to spend most of the night upstairs most likely because it’s much more open up there and there’s more seating.

Other than getting ready for the couples night, my latest project is planning and getting my home ready for an open house on November 21st. Most of my family (other than my immediate family) and a lot of our friends from church haven’t been at our home yet since we got married. So, I invited almost 100 people to our open house! If everyone shows up at once all I can say is, we’re going to be squished in our little cottage. :)
