Girls' Nights

So I love getting out and having a girls' night once in awhile. I sometimes feel a bit guilty leaving my hard working husband at home with the kids (me feel guilty? Imagine that!) but he is always so good about it. I come home feeling rejuvenated and more validated as a woman and a mother. On Wednesday night I went out with some friends in my ward to Texas Roadhouse. LOVE that place! Seriously their rolls are amazing! And the prime rib? DELICIOUS!! Anyway, we got to the restaurant about 8:00 p.m. and we did not leave until 10:45! We all just chatted away. It was a very nice break. I would highly recommend them. Of course I brought my camera but forgot to take a picture of our fun!

How We Met

We met when both of us lived in the same apartment complex and were attending the same singles ward. We became acquainted as friends when one of Ashley's roomates was interested in one of TC's roommates and always wanted to hang out at their apartment. Ashley came along for moral support. Ashley has to admit that her initial impression of TC was not the greatest. She was wondering why he was trying to act like such a "tough guy" by shaving his head and going by TC. One day she asked him why he didn't grow his hair out to which he replied that he could not and she also learned that he goes by TC to distinguish himself from his father who is named Thomas Clark and his grandfather who is Thomas Clarence. TC relates that when he first met Ashley he thought she was cute and was contemplating asking her out or another girl in the ward. He did think Ashley was slightly immature because she was engaging in often frivolous activities such as throwing water balloons out her apartment window at people walking by and wrestling with guys in the apartment lounge. (She has grown up since then, TC says!) TC decided to give it a go and ask Ashley out after he came home from a trip visiting his sister, April, in Arizona. His roommates related that Ashley had expressed an interest in him. (Actually Ashley's roommate was trying to hook her up with TC and told his roommates Ashley wanted to go out with him. Ashley did not entirely object.) So TC called Ashley and asked her to go with a group to Pirates of the Caribbean. Their first official single date was to Wendy's (Way to go, TC, lol) TC and Ashley dated exclusively for about a year before becoming engaged in December of 2004 and were then married on April 23rd, 2005 and it has been bliss ever since!
