A Night to Remember…

Not because I decided to partake in Rae’s superliquored margaritas, but because we have been blessed with so many great friends. Rae and Steve hosted a good luck party (not goodbye) for us last night. The food was amazing, the liquored poured freely, and no one talked about goodbyes. After a long dry spell of not drinking, for numerous reasons, I decided to celebrate a little. It’s been a long time, but I remembered quickly after Rae handed me one of her fancy margaritas, alcohol can hit fast on an empty stomach. That theme continued through the evening and that pretty margarita glass had had enough of me by night’s fall when it jumped out of my hands and broke on the deck. I will apologize in advance to Rae and Steve for the soon to be flat bike tires! I think Sean decided a few beers was enough, after Steve gave him some extra strong suds, and when my inside voice was no longer. You can see from the pictures we had a great time! Caroline made an amazing pound cake, Danna made her famous wedding cookies (which I can’t walk by without popping one in my mouth=1,000 calories a piece thank you very much), and Rae had my favorite, strawberry cake. And despite bets that I would be in the loo or hung-over today, neither happened. I actually got a great night’s sleep, woke up earlier enough to catch Meet the Press and Face the Nation, and post the party pictures on the blog. Thanks to everyone who organized and came. We couldn’t have asked for better luck!
