The other night the most amazing thing happened.

We got to hang out with our very good friends, whose baby was asleep upstairs and while my parents were home with a sleeping G.

We agreed that none of us wanted to go out for dinner or drinks, and instead just wanted to curl up on their couch and eat take-out while watching a movie.

You’re lucky if, in your grown-up life, you get to have friends with whom there are zero pretenses. No cleaning up the house before they arrive, no getting dolled up or having to always make a delicious dinner, no nothing. Just take-out and a movie. 

This may not sound like anything, but when you ‘grow up’ (ha!) I think there’s often a lot of watching and judging of people’s homes, dinnertables and outfits (and I love in Vermont!), so it’s always a nice pause to get to just hang out with close friends and no extra work.
