From my love. : )
We had a really lovely Valentine's Day with good friends and fabulous food! I'm so glad that Alexandra had this idea - she and Brigham are such gracious hosts! They are so sweet together, and they are one of my favorite couples ever!I have to restrain myself when I see Brigham now because I just want to thank him again for parking for me and I don't want to become annoying. But he is really an angel! I was about to cry because I couldn't find parking, and then when I did I couldn't park. I even bumped the car behind me. Panic-stricken, I jumped out to check if there were any damages, and everything looked okay, but I was a little shaken. And his sweet wife, Alexandra, probably knew that I was lying when I said I was okay so she called me back and really insisted that I let him park for me. Maybe she heard the desperation in my voice, or maybe Michelle mentioned the crazy look in my eye when she saw me. (Thank you for everything!) What a great guy! Alexandra said that he often parallel parks for her.
Alexandra looks so tiny next to the bouquet! : ) I feel so lucky to know her, because I really think she will be famous. She has been a wonderful friend to me. She's a person that has every reason to feel superior - she's beautiful and looks a little like Ellen Pompeo from Grey's Anatomy but is much prettier: ), she's smart and accomplished (she passed the bar while pregnant with Will), she's well-read, she's a witty conversationalist, a talented writer, and she's the funniest person I know! But, she's completely unpretentious, humble, generous, and
she's truly empathetic (she finds common weaknesses bonding : ).
A little tribute to the food... because it was amazing!! The Cannons served delicious pizzas that I discovered came from Costco. The women labored over creating seriously delectable treats that really artfully displayed... These amazing, cute puppy cupca
kes were made from scratch, and were Tiana and Elizabeth's labor of love. The strawberry, heart shaped cake-cookies were Michelle's great idea, as well as the dipped chocolate strawberries drizzled with white chocolate. Yu

Alexandra's long-time friend, Carrie, made a really delicious seven-layer dip. Sarah made some sweet sugar cookies, and Michelle said that Damon kept sneaking back to pick the M&M's off of them. : ) So cute!
The kids thoroughly enjoyed running around with each other. Alexandra mused that wouldn't it be great if our kids could grow up having friends that they've have since they were two? I really wish that could be! I'm grateful for you all and learn so much from you... I don't want these friendships to fade when life inevitably takes us all on different paths ... At least our children's friendships have been captured and immortalized on our blogs, and I will eventually turn mine into a memory book. : )

Jackie, you are way too sweet! I feel so much pressure now that I think I must abandon our friendship. :) I really didn't know you were having such a hard time parking; I can't believe you were refusing help so vehemently! You really are too nice for you own good! You made Brig feel like a hero. Thanks for memorializing the party. It was fun to see all the photos. It was great how the party would not have been what it was if it were not for all the attendees and their fabulous contributions, both in food and friendship. Ok, this looks like a blog post of its own and I'm embarrassed.
