A Big Texas-Sized Thank You

Thank You Adriane for taking the time (along with your two lovely sisters) to plan/organize/execute our September 2012 Texas Lutheran Awesomeness Retreat. I know it was hard work but the end result, in my humble opinion, was perfection.

Thank you Lauren for living in Billings, Montana for one year. Thank you for becoming one of my closest friends. I'm so glad Gregg forced me to invite you over for supper. :) Because of you, I now know the most amazing group of women. Hands Down.

Thank You Kellee for all your food lists and meal planning while we were in Texas. Only you would have thought to include the wine "floaties" in our cute gift bags. You have an eye for design and a heart for hospitality. You make everyone feel so welcome.

Thank you Jan for all the beautiful pictures you took while we were in Texas. You definitely have an eye for photography. It would seem out of place to see you without a camera. (By the way, I may or may not have stolen a few photos.) Thank you for all the garlic you put in that fabulous Spinach Artichoke Dip. Really. Thank You. I'm still recovering. :)

Thank You Heather for being so completely genuine and sweet. I love your eye for anything antique or vintage. I feel like you should have been born in a different era but I'm glad you weren't. It was great getting to know you and getting expert pedicures too. (And, I may or may not have stolen some of your fabulous photos too.)

Thank you Gretchen for your non-snobbish wine ways. No one tells you there is no going backwards. You were the inside scoop to so many fascinating worlds-Cooking Light, Better Homes and Garden, CPH!

Thank you Edie for bringing your Southern charm and Issues, Etc. stories into our mix. Thursday night dinner was a definite highlight for me. The chic earrings you gave all of us were a real treat too. As soon as you arrived in Texas, I knew the gang was all finally here.

 

Being a Lutheran really is pretty awesome, isn't it?
