Always a bridesmaid...

In this life, If are fortunate enough to have a handful of great friends, you are doing good.  No.  Your doing Great.  Remember that! 

In the last few months we have been so busy, its ridiculous.  But out of these months we have pulled some fantastic memories out.  The first of many was a personal shower I hosted for my friend Ginny.
I was her maid of honor this spring, so to kick of the first few weeks that led up to her wedding, we had the party. 

Her friends happen to my friends too- for the most part.  So needless to say, it was a pretty great afternoon. If you know me at all- I take on too many projects and within each project I have these ideas of how I want things to be.  The thing about my Ideas is this-  I have no Idea how to execute them.  Almost at all.  I do the best I can and hope my friends know that the hap hazard things I do come from a good place- albeit it frightening at times.

But this party turned out.  Did all my visions of perfectly done pinterest projects turn out-  no.  Did I transform my little suite into a dream.  Hardly. But at the end of the day I gave it all I had.

It was a toe party.  How great an Idea was that?  So 20 Girls got all their toes painted and designed.  With good food, good wine and a gratuitous photo both situation- it was a pretty special afternoon for me.  Thankfully I have some great ladies to helped me pull it all together and keep me sane.

Remembering that there aren't too many opportunities to be a maid of honor or even a bridesmaid- all the exhaustion and worry is worth it.  Right?! yea, right...
