52 Weeks of Happiness :: Week 32


Photobucket

Hosting a party at my house.

A dear friend is moving far away,

so my friends and I had a
little going away party in her honor.


Photobucket

We lit the fire pit on my back porch

and cozied up to the fire

late into the night.


Photobucket

There was yummy food,
I made the now world famous
Red Velvet Cake Balls,

they were a huge hit.


Photobucket

We sipped on cocktails
in fancy glasses.
My featured cocktail was
called the Velvet Dream.

The ladies swooned.

We listened to good music
beneath the stars
and had a night to remember.

Photobucket

I feel so blessed to
know such an amazing group of ladies.


We laughed,

we cried,

and said a fond farewell

to our lovely friend.


My heart is so sad to see her go

but I am grateful to have spent

the time with her that I have.


We'll miss you Linh!
