This weekend we hosted the lastest waiting family monthly party, and the whole weekend was geared around it. Friday and Saturday were prep. Saturday night..the big event. And Sunday...recovery.
I signed us up to host in January hoping that would force Jeff and I to wrap up this home improvement thing we've had going on. I thought the fear of having house guests would be the motivator we need to get cranked up again and fininsh! And we did.....mostly.Jeff was still laying flooring the morning of the party (I included a pic of him cutting quarter round that morning!) I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared.
In the end, my first grown up party turned out really well. The weather was wonderful, so people could hang out on the patio. We got to visit with people who we've met along this long adoption wait and who's company we truly enjoy. We also met some new people who I hope we'll get to know as well as this long adoption wait continues.
Today we've been super lazy slugs as we try to recoup from the past 2 days of flurried activity. Tomorrow is back to normal.
Lessons learned:
I need to get together with friends more often.
I really like hosting people at my house.
Next time....more beer.
