Also, I threw a BABY SHOWER for my friend Pam. She is having her first baby. My friend, Diane and I really wanted to make it special for her. Here is a picture of the spread we prepared for her big bash. She is having a girl and so we chose a Valentine's theme. It worked out great because her shower was a week after Valentine's Day and we found a ton of pink, red, and white things to fancy up the place. It really was a fun time. I tried to coordinate all the food too. It was all mostly either red, white, or pink. BEAUTIFUL!
The menu:
Spinach Salad with Strawberries and Pink Dressing
Red Velvet Cupcakes
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Mini Cheesecakes with a Raspberry Sauce (thank you DeLaine!)
Chicken Salad with Homemade Rolls (thank you Diane and Emily!)
Then, this past Friday night...I was kidnapped! My friends surprised me with a GIRLS' NIGHT GET-A-WAY EXTRAVAGANZA! Trust me--it was an extravaganza. They all showed up on my door step and swept me away to dinner and a movie. They said they wanted one last night out on the town before my world disappeared when the baby was born.
We went to this really hip new restaurant called Buca di Beppo. It's Italian food which is my favorite. SooooOOOO YUMMY! I would have taken pictures of the food to do a Restaurant Review, but I was having too much of a wild and wacky time---just ask The David. 
After the movie, which was Fool's Gold (that was for YOU Allyson), we went back to my friend DeLaine's house for dessert. Yes--I said DESSERT! They really were spoiling me. She made the most delicious chocolate lava cakes because she is the most delicious caterer that I know.Basically what I'm trying to say is THANK YOU to my friends. I was really touched and blown away. I don't know if anyone has ever done something so thoughtful for me--seriously. I know it took a lot of effort and I can't believe you wanted to do that for me. I LOVE YOU GUYS !! I must stop now because this pregnant woman will start to cry. (Notice how I didn't mention how late we stayed up.)

what a sweet surprise! and you totally deserved it!
I just want to clarify that "he" was at the TOP of my top 5 before he was on Allyson's. Just mentioning it. You know, because we need to be clear on that.
I don't know what you're smoking Christine, because Matthew has been on my top 5 from the beginning. He just got moved up one notch under the circumstances! :) Too bad you missed the movie then because you would have enjoyed all that Matthew!!
You guys are crackin me up ;D
I'm just saying, he's my #1. He was my #1 first! Not yours, MINE!
mine, mine, mine!!!!!!!!
What awesome friends! Sounds like a really fun weekend. Everyone needs some good girl time!
Ladies ladies no need to fight over all that man. Believe me Matthew is willing to share. I will say that even though he is your #1 Christine Allyson DID go see him and not you. So maybe you should back off little missy! Oh and you don't look better than me in that picture. He He
As for the time when this crazy night ended let's just say Brett's curfew of dawn wasn't to far off... I loved it! and I'm so glad you had such a good time!
Ummmm, I do so look better than you DeLaine!!
