Sorry we've been out of commission...

Remember in September when I was apologetic and said I'd never let my blogging lag again?! Paint my face red, I am a liar. I must say, the last few months haven't been the best, and although Mary and I did knock out like 5 bars the first week of October for her birthday, and I was excited to back to the regular blogging, the next week hit me with some shocking and saddening news. My dear Stephanie, best friend in the world, passed away in Niger, while serving in the Peace Corps. They say it was natural causes, she died in her sleep, which I suppose I'm happy she didn't suffer, yet I still can't believe she's really gone. So of course, in my time of grief I thought, is going to 50 bars really important in this life I'm leading?! What even is important?! How can I go out and have fun knowing Steph will never come back to join us at these bars? But, knowing Steph for a decade or so, I know she'd never give up on a mission, and she'd never turn down a good night out with friends. She'd also be judgmental of me if I gave up on anything, as she always wanted her friends to follow through. So, Mary and I soldier on in our quest...we'll probably not finish the 50 bars before Phoenix Magazine releases the latest addition of the 50 best bars, but we will do it!!

I promise this week I will get blogging on the 6 or so bars we've been to since the last entry. I know you're all dying to know what we think!! :) I also promise Mary and I will get some quality bar time in before I go off and become a married woman!
