Once again, we had another FANTASTIC Memorial Day Party out on Lake Tillery! Thank you to ALL who came out and joined in the fun! We’ll be doing it again next year! So be ready! We had a great mix of good friends and family who all mixed really well with each other. We had rafts galore in the water, and food coming out of our ears, and beer/drinks coming out of numerous coolers. :-)
My cousin Jordan and his girlfriend Lauren made the trek up from Georgia to come up to the party! We were so happy to have them up here! They are both graduating from college next May, and I think it would be AWESOME if they decided to move up to the Carolinas! :-) *HINT HINT JORDAN AND LAUREN*. We LOVED having them up here, and I hope they come back more often!!
Stef and Shane came from Winston Salem to hang out. It was AWESOME to see them! Stef is my old roommate (for a summer) up at ASU. We had great times… and still to this day can pick up where we leave off. I value you that so much in our friendship! We also realized that the Lake place was a GREAT half way point for both of us to meet up! So we’ll probably be seeing each other more! :-) YAY!
Nif and Jeremy brought Annabel Teagan out to the Lake. They drove from Hillsborough, NC. This was the first time I have seen their precious baby girl (She’ll be 3 months on June 6)! Nif and I have been friends since our Senior year in High School. Her name is Jennifer, but in high school, I had 5 friends with that name, so I broke them up into sections. Yes, I had a Jenn, a “Nif”, and a “Fer”. Actually “Nif” came to Providence having already received that nickname from her friends in Tennessee. Okay, back to the story.. So Nif and her husband and their daughter Annabel joined us. Nif and I have made plans to go to a Wine Festival the weekend after next, and we’ll be meeting up with Stef! I can’t wait!
I think in all we had close to 36 this year. Last year it was closer to 50 people. This year seemed so much easier to handle than the 50. There were also two dogs. Joey (a 5 year old Golden Retriever who is OBSESSED with tennis balls) and Buck (a 2.5 year old Mastiff/bulldog mix who is the SWEETEST dog!!). Everyone was comfortable, and I think we all had a great time! Of course I cheated this weekend. I’m not too proud of it, because the scale moved up a little, but I kept it all in perspective. I actually feel guilty for cheating, however, I had planned for that since I started Nutri System, so I can’t feel too guilty for it. I can honestly say…… It was ALL good, but I think my next cheat day will be in September, for my birthday/and Stef and Shane’s wedding. I’m drinking up lots of the water, and staying on course! Next week is BEACH week, so I need to stay on target! :-) I will… I have faith in myself!
