Day 148: May 28 - Engagement Party, a little wet, but great all the same

The clock struck 3 p.m., the time the party was starting, the heavens opened up and the clouds started gushing water. Thanks a lot, Mother Nature. What did I ever do to you, anyway? This is the second year in a row that we've tried to have a big party on Memorial Day weekend.

Never again. Lesson learned.


I did run around as the rain started to come down and take some quick shots of what the party was supposed to look like. This was before we all huddled into the garage and house.

In the end, I think it was totally OK to end up inside, since it brought people in closer physical proximity to each other. No complaints about that.

Kaila's cake was AMAZING! She basically duplicated our party invitation, which I had crafted up. Pretty smart, we are:)

It was a really fabulous day. We are really lucky to have such spectacular friends and family to celebrate with. It's going to be a great year leading up to the big day.
