First Party!

so i wrote this a week ago and never published it because it wouldn't let me here it is...

We had our first dinner party on Friday night that was planned the Tuesday before. Needless to say it was a lot of work to get everything in shape without having a weekend to prepare for it! But we did it! We had I think 27 people there!! A LOT! It was fun and it was great to let the people who haven’t seen the house yet see it. Not to mention we finally got the motivation to finish cleaning out the “living room” that had become a home to all the stuff we didn’t know what to do with. We set up card tables in both of the empty front rooms (dining and living) for people to sit and have dinner.
Luckily the rain held out until the steaks were finished grilling, but after that the bottom fell out! And it POURED for the rest of the night.
Overall I think it was a good party and everyone had a lot of fun --- but maybe we shouldn’t have THAT many people next time! ;-)
Mom and dad spent the night and the next morning we had bagels and played the wii! Then Rena and I went to the mall and she bought a new Macbook Pro! We had dinner with her parents Saturday night. Sunday was pretty much a lazy day and we just went to Costco and the grocery store.
School starts next week for me and Labor Day is coming up – that means a nice long weekend! Woo Hoo!

Oh and P.S. a week ago Rena bought me a new iPod!!! Great surprise to see on the kitchen table when I walked in from work! Unfortunately if she would have waited a week she could have gotten it for free when she bought her computer! Darn!
We forgot to take pictures on Friday but I did take a few with my iPhone. (which I can't post because I keep getting an error message!)

P.S. Thank you to our wonderful moms that helped with the party! Patty got us a fridge for our garage! Whoo! And thank you mom for making food and helping clean up the next morning!
