Sunday Funday

My Sunday started at church as usual,

 but as mentioned here before Amanda is leaving to Nashville on wednesday so! we had a little cake party with two gorgeous cakes. 

on the TOP picture: Maria Ortiz made a vanilla cake & on the BOTTOM picture is Jessica Picken's chocolate cake, they were both incredible.

The church wanted to honor Amanda's faithfulness and talent so we gave her a banjo, she had been wanting to get one and now she is well equipped to start her professional career with a brand new banjo.

 After church I went home for a bit before  going  to Jo's house where we had Jess' bridal party. 

An evening with the ladies from church is priceless, we had a potluck of finger food and desserts, mocktails games and a lot of gifts for the bride to be.

It was a lot of fun but I ended up exhausted!

I LOVE SUNDAYS

Last Sunday I had the chance to hang out with Mayra & Michelle but before we left church we took a picture with very much pregnant Jo.
It was a hot day and we made Jo walk around the sun until we found a shade to take a picture, she is a trooper. 

 We can not wait to meet Antonella in a few weeks.

 Love these ladies.

Baby & Scones

Last week I got together with some of my friends at Panera for our monthly reunion. These ladies are hilarious. I have known Luz since I was in high school, Natalia from Jr. College and Sherry it is the one that I've known the least amount of time but we have grown on each other. They are all great.
We were missing Erika & Erica this month but I'm sure we will all see each other next month.

My friend Luz had baby John Paul 2 months ago and this was the first time he hang out with us outside of the hospital or home, so we were all very excited to spend time with him.
I could not help but stare at him most of the time, hahaha, babies have that effect on me. The only time he got a little fuzzy it was when he got hungry but besides that he was a true angel.

Of course I couldn't help myself to the best Chai Tea I have ever tried, every time I am at Panera I order one, it is simply delicious and since I had a free pastry on my rewards card because of my birthday I had a blueberry scone. I am a scone junky, so I had a great time and my tummy was happy too. 

Spa Night

My Partner in Crime ^ (Mayra)

After weeks of planning and two days of setting up we had our first Girl Spa Night for TheCitySD. 

It was so much fun, everything was lovely and everyone had a great time. 

Manicures, pedicures, facials, wax, chocolate fondue & great company! I will do it all over again!!! O

The Photo booth was my favorite, even though the camera was out of focus and nobody noticed until I uploaded the pictures on to my computer, but still, it was great.

The hardest part was setting everything up with just 2 girls helping me out but we managed to get it done just in time before everyone got there. 

Once all the girls were getting their nails done and chatting over some fondue while getting a pedicure done all the hard work was worth it.

It took me two entire days to recuperate and feel normal again, I was exhausted but my friend Mayra was a trooper and staid by my side the whole time. Thank You.

And of course I had all the wonderful ladies from TheCitySD helping out during the event and tearing down.

I cannot wait for our next event.
