Galentine's Day....Say Whaat???

 

This weekend, Jessi and I were invited to go to a party. A Galentine's Day party.

 And no that's not a typo!
 

What in the world is a Galentine's Day party? I certainly had no idea. I had never heard of that term before. So I did a little research! 

Turns out, Galentine's Day is a  day you take a day to celebrate the lovely lady friends in your life. 

I believe the term was created on a tv show called Parks & Rec. I've never seen the show but I've heard its good.
 

This specific party was hosted by Kara and her friend Ashley. Kara is the awesome girlfriend of one of our oldest friends Rory.

  
Everyone brought food to share pot luck style, which is the BEST! I myself made a 7 Layer dip, which I always get good compliments on! I decided to be a little festive and make a heart out of  a tomato <3

Jessi made a Apricot Jalapeno Cheese Ball which was awesome!

Kara made crock pot Crazy Chicken, which I found out is just chicken, salsa and honey. OMG so good. We even had some little tortillas to make mini tacos with it.

Mckalle, which is the wife of  our good friend Dahl, brought Mini Weenies. Those things are so good! But by the time we got there alot of them were gone. But we at least got some!

There were also desserts and such as well. It was a pretty good food menu! 

Once we were done gabbing and eating in the kitchen we moved to the living room. We went around the circle and introduced ourselves and told everyone something interesting about ourselves. I actually liked that we did that, it felt like everyone was a little more comfortable since most of us didn't know every person there.

 

After that, they had a craft for us to do! We got to make our own little flower vases! Such a cute idea! 

I am the worst at plants, so I cant really have flowers or anything like that on a regular bases, so I was pretty stoked when I saw what we were doing. Now I have a pretty little decoration that wont die! 

After that, Jessi took me home and I thought that was the end of my night.....NOT! 

Since the girls were having a ladies only party, the guys (Travis, Rory & Dahl) decided to have a Guys Night out at Mckalle and Dahl's house. Rory and Kara live across the street from us, so Travis just car pooled with him.

They had a good fun night of drinking and cards. As I was waiting for him to let me know when he was coming home, I all of a sudden get a call from him at 1130 PM saying that they all wanted Kara and myself to come over and party. Ummmmm ok?! Random? And then they said that McKalle was already picking Kara up at that exact moment and they would be over to get me, so I had to get ready fast....ummmm OK again!?!?!?! RANDOM! 

 

Once we got there we had a great time reminiscing between old friends and hanging out! 

It was a very Random but enjoyable night! And I am soo soo glad Travis was able to hang out with some of my oldest friends and get to know them!

Thank you guys for that!

To end this post: Random plans are ALWAYS the best! :)
