Nicole's 40th Birthday Bash!!!

It was so fun helping with this fun party for Nicole's 40th!! Jamie had the vision and it was fun to help her decorate and make it beautiful!!  I got to use mom’s pretty plastic chairs (I thought how happy she must’ve been that I used them, and so quickly!) and I brought lots of stuff to use for the party too. We all helped set up in her backyard, and that was a party in and of itself. It looked sooooo good! After, Jamie, Drayton, Jordan, Jim and I all went to Twisted Sugar and Jamie treated me to a cookie and a drink… she is so nice! She is so much fun and I am ALWAYS laughing with her! What a fun friend and such a blessing in my life! I went home and took a quick nap so I could be ready for the party!

The party was super fun and so festive! The dinner was so good and everything was decorated so beautifully and the balloons and lights all looked so pretty! I got to meet 4 couples that will be in our new ward when we move… the Barry’s (Devin and Allison), the Alvord’s (Jeremy and Ashlie), the Flam’s (Sam and Meg) and the Fellar’s (Donnie and Kira)—all such FUN people! And then, of course there was Bill and I, Jim and Jamie, Tiffany and Mark and Nate and Nicole. We enjoyed the wonderful dinner and conversation, served up the cake and then sat around the fire and played "3 truths and a lie"—way fun! That group of people is WILD! There were some FUNNY truths and it was 11:30pm before that party broke up and we started to take everything down!!! We got lots of good pictures too! We were laughing so hard the entire night and it felt so good to just get away and not worry about anything and just laugh and have fun for a bit! It took a while to take everything down and do the dishes and pack and load everything up in my car… but we were out of there by 12:30. Then we dropped some stuff by the Livingstone’s house they forgot and ended up talking to them for another 30 min!! (We got home pretty late but we have late church now, so I get to sleep in tomorrow!) What a fun party!!!
