10 Million Dollars


The question was posed to us at church this Sunday, what would you do if you won 10 million dollars...

I couldn't think of an answer right away, but I thought, some food-related business. After giving it some thought, I think I would love to have an event planning / catering business. Nothing big, but something that would allow me to explore what I'm interested in.

Funny how I didn't think about purchasing anything? Must not be how I'm wired. Although, I did also think, I'd love to take a nice long trip.

How about you? What would you do with 10 million dollars?

(oh yea, I'd also hire a housekeeper...no more cleaning!)

Bridal Shower

A few weeks ago, we threw a bridal shower for my sister (she's getting married in less than a month!!! AH!). As a tribute to her love for the Oakland A's, we played off a green & gold theme.



Some of the crafty bridesmaids created the pinwheel backdrop along with the pom-poms. Along with a "Yes Dear" sign.




In the entry way we setup a station for guests to fill out these fun fill-in-the-blank tags and pick up a favor on the way out. For the favors, one of the girls found that M&Ms makes MLB team candies! So we ordered some A's M&Ms and supplemented with some generic white and cream candies. We also did a box of mint almonds with yogurt pretzels.
