"Our Couple"

Occasionally, I will introduce you to some of the people in our lives besides our kids and family. Please hold the applause and you're welcome.

So, ever have a couple that is "your couple?"

You know it if you have one.

You like the wife and the husband both equally. Both of you do. And, they would never be striken off of a party guest list. The wife isn't a nagging pain in the rump and the husband will gladly get his own beer or dinner (and yours too if you need one!) and isn't a complete know-it-all. Somehow it all just clicks and you are all on the same wave length so to speak. There's no drama.

Well, for us, that couple is Jody and Judd. Or, it could be. If they lived closer. But, no. They live in Grundy, VA. Yes. Grundy. I'm not sure where it is but I assume people are normal there. They are. LOL.



Aren't they cute? :)

Jody is outgoing president of the professional association that Ken is now president of. As tradition, the outgoing and incoming presidents and their spouses go to dinner the night before the convention starts.

So, we went to dinner at a quaint little local restaurant in Virginia Beach and after a leisurely dinner, we went to the Irish Pub where they were more than happy to humor me with self portraits.






After the self portraits, we did a few Irish Car Bombs. If you don't know what those are, you're probably better off. All I can say is "drop and drink" because it you don't, it curdles and is nasty. NASTY.



If they move closer to us they'll officially be "our couple." For now, we'll have to settle on seeing them when we can.



Because they are AWESOME in every way.

We have a couple like that. We both love them both and vice versa...anyhoo...hope you get to live closer to them.

BTW, I'm a little afraid to comment on the eyes after theother two comments, but your hair looks really great!

The red eyes are the crappy camera. Not the car bombs. "Those" red eyes occurred much later in the evening. LOL.

They will not be moving unfortunately. :*(
