Lisa's Lounge

That's what our friends are! AWESOME! Upon arriving at Red's Scoot Inn on East 4th Street for what was supposed to be Tim's early birthday party ... we were greeted with "Surprise! This is for you!" Complete with a tropical theme, Lisa W (all the way from Big D), Liz, Christine, Kristin, Nicole, Tim, Jef - all of them! - cooked up a great party! I was totally floored. After a horrible week at work, and also getting my earful on Saturday from a mad Project Manager, I was not at my highest level of morale. Ben and I decided on the way over we'd "go for a little while" since we were both worn out. On the way I realized I didn't get Tim a card, but thought "Well, it's really a month til his birthday..." Never once did I suspect. We girls had talked about the party all week in email - I made queso, told Alison she should come out if she wanted to... too funny. Even when we walked in and Liz announed us as "Mr. and Mrs. Ben and Lisa!" I thought she was just being silly, announcing everyone as they came in. We used Chris's I-pod for music, with a refreshingly excellent mix of great tunes. Even some Barry Manilow! Thank you to Aaron for supplying (as usual) the PA. We really had a great time. Totally lifted my spirits. And for the first time in years, we were late to a function. We are usually always early, so everyone had gotten to the bar early in anticipation of that. Sorry gang! It was so cool that Lisa and Jon Wilburn were able to come in, since they've been a part of the on-going wedding debate for years AND they were with us in Key West when we got hitched!

Thank you so so so SO much for throwing us our very own reception. It was awesome and thoughtful and garsh... I'm all gooshy inside! Here is my photo set, most of which were taken from Special K's photo site. Liz took a bunch, too, and we will teach her how to post them for sharing very soon.

A couple more of my favorites: (the second one is the total surprise from me when we arrived)



THANKS TO ALL INVOLVED! WE WERE TOTALLY SURPRISED!

(edit: what makes me think I can post and spell properly at 6:30 in the morning? I fixed "surpised")
