Memorable moments:
Jami D: Andy and Kim have set the bar high! Our first supper was delicious, relaxing, and beautiful. Kim did an excellent job with the table scape and menus. I truly can't choose a favorite part of the meal. The meat was delicious, I'm always excited when Kim makes her famous cheese grits, and the cheesecake pops were AMAZING!

Welcome to the Eight is Enough supper club! Thanks to Kim we are starting a little club to get together without kids and enjoy a peaceful, delicious meal with some of our very best friends. I think we all consider ourselves to be foodies - we love good food, good drinks, and good company. This club provides it all!

Here's a little history of how we came together:

Kim and Jenn are sisters.

Andy K and Andy D meet in 7th grade and become friends.

The Andys meet Bill in 9th grade.

Andy K goes to his first college in 1999, joins a fraternity, and Dan is his big brother.

Jami D meets the Andys in college in 1999. (Andy K had changed colleges at this point)

Jami D and Andy D start dating in 2001.

Andy K and Kim start dating in 2001.

Jami D and Kim become roommates in 2002.

Andy K and Kim see Dan and Jami T in 2003 at church for Easter service. Talk about a small world!

Jenn and Bill start dating in ____ and marry in 2009.

Along the way Andy D & Jami D have had 2 kids, Dan and Jami T have had 2 kids, Andy K and Kim have had 2 kids + 1 on the way, and Jenn and Bill have had 1 kid.

We start the supper club in 2011!

We are rotating houses about every 6 weeks or so. The host makes all the food and everyone else is responsible for BYOB. I believe Dan came up with the "Eight is Enough" idea and now that I've named the blog after it we're stuck with it!

Got it?

Let's eat!
