Sarah, her husband Dan, and I have been friends for 15 years dating back to high school. My wife, Lauren, became part of our regular hangouts a few years back. Every year we all watch football on Saturdays and Sunday's together and swap who makes meals each week. So when Sarah asked if we would want to take a trip to her parent's new lake house for the first weekend of the NFL season, we jumped at it.
