and now for something lighter...

I have been meaning to post this for decades or at least the last couple of weeks. What is with me?

When planning and preparing for Lauren's big birthday bash, two of my very favorite people in the whole world offered some MUCH needed help! I wish words could describe these ladies. Selfless for sure. Kind and caring of course. The kind of friends you could call at 2 in the morning (they might still be up - silly girls) for a heart to heart chat. They are irreplaceable and so very dear to me.

Both these ladies gave up hours of their summer to help me get this thing right. I couldn't have done it without them!

Leslie was my creative girl. Together we went through about 50 different ideas and themes for the party. Even though I wore the poor girl out I am sure with my indecisiveness, she never let it phase her. Even on the day we got together to actually create the invitations, I made her go with me one more time to Hobby Lobby to make sure we had the right stuff. Wanna know something? I changed my mind while there again! We pushed through until we came up with the perfect invitations and theme for the party. Leslie, you truly are "the closer" and I loved working with you!!! I am so thankful for your gift of creativity!!!

Isn't she just the cutest?


Tammy was my technology girl. I shudder to think where I would have been without her. Or, maybe I should say I shudder to think where my computer would have been....through a wall perhaps? I knew I wanted to make a slideshow to play at the party of pictures of Lauren from birth to her 1st birthday, but let me tell you - I had NO idea how to get that done! Tammy got right in. She organized all my photos by date so they would run in the correct order and then figured out how to run the movie maker on my computer!!! We had to make a run to WalMart for dvd-r's and had fun looking through the fun organizational items. Wild and crazy....that's us! Tammy stayed until the dvd was done and then later helped me via phone with an issue of adding sound over the pics. The dvd was awesome, Tammy. I couldn't have done it without you. I am so thankful for your gift with technology!!!


Isn't she just the cutest?


Love you girls! Thanks a million for helping me out.
