Bless This Mess!

The House Blessing has come and gone. It's nice to live in a blessed house — no more ghosts or evil spirits lurking. What we do have, however, is a messy house full of reminders of the fun we had — a full cooler (and a half) of beer, leftover food and some house work we will spend the rest of the week doing. Oh, and a potted plant that our friend, Sean, broke — not once, but twice! And, we're pretty sure our friend, Tom, hid empty beer cans and bottles in odd places — like a drawer and a cabinet. 

Here are some photos of the festivities:

May Spangler was definitely the life of the party. She entertained our guests thoroughly with her 4-year-old antics.


You can hardly tell that she consumed her weight in Diet Cokes!



Here we are — at the last minute — getting ready. Thanks, Vici, for the action shot!

This was us right before the house was blessed...
Catering provided by Janie Fields. Flower arrangements by Ardona Foshee.

Anne really enjoyed being the ordained "bowl bearer."

Ned and Mary Beth looking very chill on the front porch.

And, here's the late-night dance party that took place after plenty of margaritas (thanks to Mary Beth for her special recipe and Cortney for the cool, new blender), wine and beer.

I can't tell if that was before or after Sean broke the pot. Maybe it was in between breakings!
