Engagement Dinner

Our good friend, Rebecca, and her parents, Richard and Janine, threw us a small engagement dinner last week at their house.  Annie and Daniel came and so did Gill's brother Clay and his fiance Amber.  Mama was there, too.
We had yummy appetizers and Richard grilled hamburgers on his new grill.  Rebecca's Grandmother Lewis even sent an angel food cake... that was pink!  It was delicious with fresh strawberries on it!  All the food was amazing.  We had a great dinner and then spent the rest of the evening sitting on the deck by the fire.

I can't believe I didn't take any pictures... I must get better at that!

I went to Townsend House before to pick out a wedding book.  I absolutely love it!  It is a cream dupioni silk and has our initials embroidered on the front cover.  We had to order it, but Mrs. Kim gave me a guest page to have at our party.  I am so glad I got to have a page and am not just having to stick a piece of paper in later with names or write it late.  (I have already managed to get some coffee on the page, please ignore.)

We have also booked a band for the wedding... The Steve Hearn Project!  I am so excited!  Mr. Steve worked at my mom's office and I have known him most of my life.  I am so glad to have someone playing that I know and is just not some random band.  My friends, family, and I listened to him all the time in Ruston.  He did, once, officially appoint me as his fan club president, so I guess it's only fitting he is playing my wedding!
