Thank you CPK!

So get this...last Thursday we went to California Pizza Kitchen with 2 of their "lottery" style coupons, the kind that are in a sealed envelope until a manager opens it and reveals what you have won. The first coupon was a free dinner for 2! So that paid for our meal plus extras for the kids.
The second one was...Dinner for 6! But we had to use it before the promotion ended on Monday. Right away we called up two couples that we had recently met and wanted to get to know better, the Arnold's and the Handley's.
We can honestly say we haven't had so much fun since New Years '06 at the Vanderschuit's (those of you who were there know that's hard to beat) We left on a total high from laughing and talking and we were blown away by how much everyone had in common! I mean everyone had at least one connection to each other person. By the end of the evening it felt like we had all been friends for years! If we didn't have to pick up the kids from the babysitters [which we almost forgot about] we'd probably all still be talking!
And to top it all off...the family that babysat for us was soooooo cool! And that was before Jamie found out the dad was a CIA trained chef who has worked for Bobby Flay!
(To foodies that means he might as well be superman!)
Thank you CPK for an awesome night with awesome new friends!
