the big bang!



on friday, the 22nd, my new friend abigail, from MCE, and i decided we should hang out. while the evening wasn't initially planned as a "girls night out," since both our men were working, we hit the piano bar scene sans our men. most of you know that i *love* the piano bar in dallas, so i was excited to find out that columbus has one also.
after having to outsmart the garmin unit, which kept trying to take us down barricaded streets (the brad paisley concert was also that night and in the same part of downtown), we finally made it to our destination.
it's not pete's, but it's about as close as you can get! the bar is called "the big bang" and, as expected, played a lot of the piano bar favorites and a few from the pop charts, and even included some country! made me feel like i was right at home! abi and i had a great time, and even got the chance to dance with some marines that were out after some sort of military ball or something. don't worry, my husband isn't the jealous type -- so one dance doesn't bother him. in fact, much to my surprise, when i was relaying the story to him (i think i scared the poor kid when he saw my wedding ring! which made it all the funnier to me) matt's response was, "i can't believe you were out alone and only got hit on by one guy, what's wrong with them?!" ahhh, always the supportive husband! :)
i've included a few pics, for your viewing pleasure.

and thanks to abi for the fun night out!

me and my new friend, abi!
