As I mentioned before, Erin and Mark are moving to Atlanta
and I wanted to make sure they had the proper send off. Last week, I came to
the realization that we needed to have this party over the weekend, essentially
giving me 5 days to send out invites and get everything organized for the
party.
As you can imagine I was making multiple phone calls and
writing many emails to get all of Erin and Mark’s family and friends to join us
for the party. Luckily everyone responded and I was able to get everyone over
to my house and ready for the surprise without a problem.
Jared and I told Mark and Erin to come over to our house to
go swimming and have lunch on Sunday at 1 o’clock. We had all of the guests
ready and waiting by 12:45pm. In true Erin fashion, she and Mark arrived early
but luckily everyone was there. After a knock at the door and a gathering in
the entrance, we opened the door and shouted “surprise”!
Erin and Mark were SO surprised, I mean really
surprised….and dressed in pool clothes J
The theme of the party was luau. Aloha means both hello and
goodbye in Hawaiian, which I thought was appropriate for this occasion
Good food, good times, and laughter….that is what made this
party such a huge success. Although
decorations were limited and it was thrown together in such a short amount of
time, I think that I could not have envisioned anything better.
