One of our biggest worries when moving to Europe was missing our friends and family like crazy. It's hard to think about not seeing any familiar faces for a year and sad to know that we'll be missing out on lots of fun events and family time. This is why we wanted to have one big final send off party before heading out so we could see our pals and leave the Bay Area with heartfelt memories of our awesome summer back in Marin. We luckily had ONE weekend that was wedding free before we left and our amazing parents were kind enough to go out of town so we could throw a high school status rager in the backyard. It was so much fun to have our friends back in the same place where we said "I do" almost a year before, plus it was wonderful to have one last night together before we left. For this party, we wanted to tie in things that we'd miss, so we made delicious mexican food, used flowers from our garden for the center pieces, and drank the most american beer we could find. It was a perfect summer evening complete with lawn games, a toddler talent show, fire pit and delicious handpicked, handmade blackberry pies.
While we may have enjoyed the beer and pie a little too much and we may have burned a hole in the lawn from the fire pit (SORRY DAD!) this is a night that we'll cherish and think of often while we're abroad. We miss everyone already and can't wait for EVERYONE TO VISIT!!!
