And left me feeling warm. I have a love/hate relationship with all our parties. I love the idea of them, I love the outcome, and I love seeing the members have a wonderful time… sometimes I just hate the amount of work and stress that goes into them. This one was no different, although all the planning went relatively smooth, the weather just had to change to the biggest storm we have had this winter (granted this is California & it really wasn’t that bad). After months of planning, the rain came in & tried to ruin the V-Day Hoedown. It was at the coolest barn you can imagine with an extremely talented band, caller, and DJ. We had the BEST natural, organic, “straight from the farm” hors d'oeuvres, and a full bar with many delicious drinks being poured. I even rented a mechanical bull! The rain really made our numbers drop though, many didn’t want to make the drive on such a stormy night. What happened that evening though really changed my whole perspective…
I was surprised with a gift from Elizabeth for my birthday & had the entire barn singing happy birthday to me! It was a complete surprise! I hadn’t told anyone about my birthday coming up! Elizabeth brought in a beautifully wrapped package that had a gorgeous bathing suit cover up for my trip. Throughout the night, everyone gave me hugs and wished me a happy birthday. It was so special to see how grateful they all were for the hard work I put in & how they helped me celebrate my birthday! I felt so lucky to be surrounded by E&A friends celebrating this special day. It made me forget the stormy weather outside and truly enjoy the party.
