Today is my engagement party!!! *UPDATE*
I'm SO excited! I'm actually more proud of myself that I got up this early! LOL It's today at 1pm. I'm actually a little nervous and I can't imagine WHY I should be...but I am. I guess because the last time I had a party for ME with this much attention was my sweet 16 12 years ago!! ![]()
I wish you could see the favors I did. We're having it at a mexican restaurant so I made little 'goodie bags' for everyone with a mini bottle of Cuervo tequila and a plastic shot glass. For the kids, I made bigger goodie bags with some toys, candy, and a comic book each. Oh and my close girlfriend made me chocolate lollypops. My mom gave me some lip about having 'goodie bags' and I pretty much said 'Ma, it's my party...and if I want goodie bags then I WANT GOODIE BAGS!' She just laughed....love my mom. Oh and we're having a Tres Leches cake ::droooool::
SO EXCITED!!!![]()
I'll let you know how it went...there was already all kinds of drama while planning this party...let's see if everyone can play nice today. *fingers crossed*

UPDATE
Okay so i'm EXHAUSTED!!! What a great day! We had it at Don Ricardo's in Babylon, a mexican restaurant. It was in the upstairs room which has a panoramic skylight and beautiful mexican decorations everywhere. I LOVE the food there!! I highly recommend it, it was something like $20 bucks a head (not including drinks) and you get lots of food! We went through TWENTY pitchers of sangria!!!!![]()
My uncle and cousin played spanish guitar music through the party and my aunt sang me a song (in spanish) about a young girl getting married. It was so beautiful. I feel like I talked to everyone and no one at the same time. What a whirlwind!! If this is any indication of what the wedding will be like, i'm doomed!![]()
Oh and my parents got the Tres Leches cake from Campbell's Bakery in Brentwood (home of the Tres Leches cake!! LOL) and it was outstanding!!
I can't even think of anything else. I'm so tired and so happy that I can't even think straight. It was an amazing party, something i'll never forget. I'll be sure to post the pictures in my albums for everyone to see as soon as I get them. Oh and we just finished opening all the cards...we made out like BANDITS!![]()
take care! - Jess
