Summer Engagement Party

My sweet friend since 5th grade, Sara, got engaged to Daniel last year.  Of course I love an excuse for a good party, so I volunteered to host their engagement party in my backyard.  The entire bridal party was generous in contributing, but since there are so many of us, Sara's matron-of-honor and I took charge.  It was a lovely evening (even though it got down to the 50's later in the evening!).  It had been 90s the week before, and all of the sudden we had a cold spell.  I had to send my husband to the party rental company the morning of the party to pick up two patio heaters.  We had an awesome time and congrats again to Sara and Daniel.  Can't wait for your big day!
