Wow this has been a month packed with FUN stuff! It all started with my trip to Utah for the So You Think You Can Dance concert that I went to with Jann, Cami, and Cami's husband Jake. It was so so fun!! I love spending time with Cami and Jann and so even though it was a quick trip it was in every way wonderful. Love you guys!! And of course the concert was amazing as always (this was our 4th SYTYCD concert)! Our fellow SYTYCD gal Corinne couldn't make the trip this year - we missed you Corinne!! I also got to spend time with my family which was lovely. It was a great trip!!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
Jenny and Matt threw the most awesome Harry Potter Party for the opening of #7 Part 1! The decorations, treats, trivia game, everything were so cool!! Adrian and I dressed up as Lupin and Tonks again which was so fun! Seriously, I can't get enough of dressing up like Tonks! This time I was helped out by my friend Tracy who lent me a Jacob Twilight shirt, because honestly don't you think Tonks is a Team Jacob sort of girl! After the party we went to the midnight showing of HP and it was great! Horribly sad and all, but great!! I really liked it and I think my favorite part was the cute little scene were Harry tries to cheer up Hermione with the dancing - wasn't that so real and sweet! Also the 7 Harrys and animation for The Tale of the 3 Brothers were also favorites. I didn't love the stuff that came out of the horcrux or the way the ending was bleak and sad, but I guess that's how the first half of the book was so I'm okay with it. I'll probably see this one in the theater lots, well until Eclipse comes out on DVD.
Jenny's Surprise Party
Jenny is turning 30 soon! I wanted to throw her a party to make her 30th bday special. So I worked with Matt and a couple of her friends to plan a surprise party for her. We had it last night and, though Jenny had some suspicions right before the party, she was surprised. The ruse was that since Matt didn't get to go to the midnight showing of Harry Potter we (Jenny, Matt, Adrian and I) were all going to go on a double date to see it Sat. night. So we had Jenny buy her and Matt tickets thinking that would help her think we were really going to the movie and they came over to our house to pick us up. (Adrian and Matt really did go to see Harry Potter during the party so those tickets Jenny bought didn't go to waste.) Jenny and Matt came to the door and SURPRISE!! And that is how it worked out. I had everyone (a bunch of Jenny's friends) come over a half hour before they were to arrive and we all waited in my family room and when they came to the door we popped out. It was really FUN! Balloons, streamers, chocolate fountain, red velvet cheesecake... Oh it was neat. We all chatted and munched and I think everyone had a good time. Happy happy birthday Jenny!!
So there you go. So far November has been crazy busy, but wonderful. During this thankful season I feel so grateful to have wonderful friends and family in my life that lift me up and make me smile everyday.
