(Part of) the gang
After a week after moving to San Diego I immediately realized there was something big missing from my life - friends. I have so many amazing friends back in Chicago but here I barely know a soul. So I joined this great Mom's group and have been having bi-weekly get-togethers ever since.Fast forward to this weekend - we were supposed to be going to a Halloween party on Sunday for all the kids at one of the Mom's houses. Something happened and at the very last minute she had to cancel. Cue Anne and Dan deciding that it would be a great idea to host the party...for 40+ people...the next day.
I was sure this would be super stressful and chaotic, but honestly it was surprisingly easy. I think having little to no time to plan made us have to think quick on our feet. We went shopping this morning, threw together a few appetizers and put up some streamers. The party was a hit, the kids looked adorable and we had fun. Lesson learned - sometimes the things you don't plan for end up being the best surprises!
