Gooooood morning, and happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was good! We were out of town for my sister-in-law’s engagement party, which was a lot of fun!
We were in charge of dessert and I was so pleased to stumble on Cakes by Tawanda and Extraordinary Cupcakes in Williamsburg. Both were a pleasure to work with on really short notice and, as you can see, the dessert table turned out beautiful! We focused on lilac, one of Amber’s colors, which I’m sure we’ll see a lot more of on the wedding day!
The party was a lot of fun! We played a bunch of really fun games like the shoe game where the couple is quizzed on questions like “who does most of the cleaning?” Or, “who spends the most money,” and they have to raise the right shoe to say who!
We also played a newlywed game with couples in attendance (including Aaron and I) and we had a lot of fun with that, answering questions like “what’s your spouses favorite food?” and “how does your spouse like their eggs cooked?” As each of us answered, our spouse revealed their answer and whether it matched up. The game was really fun for everyone — from four to 40 years married!
We tried to go out furniture shopping after the party because we move into our new place this weekend (!!!!!!) but we were so tired, we didn’t last long! We’re so eager to shop and buy things for the house, but we really need to get in there first and see what we need and what will work in the space.
On Sunday we went to church and then got on the road to come home. As you know, the Whole30 starts today and I hope I’m still going strong by the time you read this! 🙂 I started reading the book and couldn’t put it down! It’s been such an eye-opener and I’m really glad I’ve decided to do this.
What did you do this weekend?
Did you have an engagement party?
Sounds like a fun weekend–congrats on getting moved in!
