lauren, nick, and i politely asked a family in our hall when we could rent out their ginormous backyard and pool ... they let us on Saturday, so we invited a few people (no need to go crazy, this was their first time EVER letting anyone use their backyard). We hooked up the iTunes to their speaker system, bought tons of steak from a ridiculous deal at Shop-Rite, asked my sister-in-law Brittany to make empanadas, and ate until we couldn't anymore.

Overall, a wonderful day.
