Last night, Hillary and Anders had friends over for one last get together before she leaves for her six month deployment on Sunday. Let me just say that we know how to have a party : ) Anders made wonderful food and there were plenty of drinks and dessert to last us through the whole night!
All in all, there were 17 people which included Anne and Steve, Matt and Amanda, Mai and Ryan, Meredith, Kim, Brett and Mallory, Me and Mike, Chuck, Jen and Kira, and of course, Hillary and Anders! The night started out very mellow with happy conversations and clinking of glasses. Then, as the champagne came out and the chocolate box was unwrapped, that's when the real action started. We laughed, we cried and we talked about how grateful we were to have such wonderful friends in our little small world that we live in.
At one point, all the ladies took it upon ourselves to make a cozy spot in the middle of the hallway. I don't know why we chose to sit on cold, hard linoleum wedged between the bathroom entrance and the stairway, but we did. Anne insisted that her husband Steve bring out the cinnamon streusel cake where we cut individual pieces and shoved them into eachothers mouths. We wore glow stick necklaces around our necks or up in headbands in many array of colors. I infamously rapped Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise" and Kim danced along to the beat. On a side note, all of us ladies have thug names. Hildawg was where it all started, followed by B$ and A-Slice, Lil Kim and M&M. We really take pride in these names. They're like a right of passage to us. Anywho, after I finished my rap, Mike came around an unknown corner and smushed a perfectly fine chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting right into my face. Don't worry, pictures are to follow. Therefore, for the rest of the evening and early into the next morning, our sacred linoelum spot was now littered with chocolate crumbs and sprinkled with beer and champagne. Like I said, we know how to have a good time!
We are all really sad that Hillary is leaving but on positive note, she will be flying into Philly and my mom is going to pick her up! My mom said she's honored to be helping someone is about to deploy and I just think the world of Hillary so I'm really excited she gets to hang out with my mama!
That is HILARIOUS!!
