My wonderful husband has been planning a great shindig for over six months. He sent out great invites, planned a lovely menu of appetizers, got delicious cupcakes, and had several people say nice words at my champagne toast. He is one amazing husband! The highlight of the night was that we had this evening soiree at the Women's University Club in downtown Seattle, which is where our wedding reception was! It brought back fabulous memories! We reserved their library/sitting room, which is a big beautiful room with a warm fire; it created the perfect atmosphere for the party.
The most amazing part of the birthday weekend was that Greg managed to get several of my out-of-town friends to come to the event! It was an awesome surprise! My Wake Forest roommate Kathleen, and her husband Mike, tapped me on the shoulder at the beginning of the party. I started screaming and then crying! It was so great that they made a long drive to be part of this!
The other wonderful blessing is that my Kellogg roommate and dear friend Sarah flew all of the way in from North Carolina! (Leaving her hubby and kids behind!) WOW! Since she was going to stay with us for five days, Greg did tell me about it about two weeks before the event. But she was amazing because not only did she fly in for my party, but she also drove up to Whistler with us the next day and spent three days with us at our home up there. We had a sweet five days of catching up, including two days of great skiing! Sarah, you are the best!
