Some friends threw me a surprise going away party last night. It was awesome. It was so nice to feel loved and like I'll be missed. It was a Texas-themed party, complete with tiny hats and mustaches. It was at an RV park- so the party room had some awesome heads on the walls (which also got party hats.)
Remember that "awesome neighbor?" Well-- that's her with the hat on. She organized this little shin-dig along with these other ladies. The five of us were just supposed to be going to dinner for one final 'girl's night' before I move. Then we conveniently ended up at this RV park lodge for dessert. (Tricia's in-laws are caterers and had some 'left-over dessert.' And I believed it! And everyone was there! I was seriously surprised. I always thought if someone threw me a surprise party that really deep down I would know it was happening. Nope-- I was shocked.
There was lots of yummy food. Cupcakes, Tilamook ice-cream, brownies, Italian Sodas, home made Salsa, Chocolate Pudding, and birthday cake. It's almost like someone knew I had a sweet tooth.
Look at these Texas cupcakes. (aren't those the best?! They even had a hershey's kiss baked inside).
Jason wanted the future Texans to kiss for a picture. He kept "accidentally" messing up so Dave had to kiss me more than once. :)

I think that I will suggest that neither you or Dave grow a black mustache! That post even made me choke up - Christy, Jan, the girl in the white shirt that teaches relief society- I feel like I know so many people there now. I will even miss Kuna. So very sweet of them to throw you a going away party. Thanks to them all.

So sad I missed out on that party! I had a big family thing that night, so I had to miss yours :( But that in no way means that I don't love your beautiful face, or that I am not going to miss you! Please know that :) You are amazing and I am so so excited for you to start your new adventure in Texas! I will blog stalk you just as much as I do now, that's for sure!
