Thursday Night Fun

I'm hosting my first dinner with friends tonight in the new house. Girlfriends & food are two of the best things in life. I always knew I liked food...but it wasn't until recently I realized how much better it tastes when your best friends are sitting at the table with you. The invite text said the house is finished. What that really means is- everything I like & is necessary for living is put in its place...everything else is stashed in the spare bedroom. And the only table is outside! Praise God for citronella! In case you're unaware --- entertaining is FUN!! That's one thing my Mom never taught me: how much fun it is to throw a good gathering. From planning the food, to picking out the music, to setting the table & putting the drinks on ice...it's a blast. My goal is to enjoy this house. Fill it up with people we love & lots of laughter so in January when we bring mini-me home he'll feel a net of memories just waiting to include him. I think hosting a party after living here only two weeks is a great start! Oh...& throwing a party when you're pregnant has its own quirks. You've gotta have beer when you're making homemade pizza...so to keep the party atmosphere I mixed & matched various favorite beers for my girls & then to make myself feel included I bought cream soda in bottles! Cheers!
