We knew a few days ago that today would be super raiy.. there was 2″ of rain predicted just for the day.. thats 5% of what we normally get in a year !.. We were prepared though.. Our house is plenty big\u00a0 enogh for the group who was coming.. Diane\u00a0 also had the foresight to rent a large tent.. plus our\u00a0 wonderful friends tim, jen and nate lent us another laarge tent plus a 10×10 popup. Our freind Krista lent us another.\u00a0 W
e were all set. THe party started at 4PM.. early as our partys go.. but there was a constant stream of people here from 4 – 10PM !.. I think we had about 70 peope all told.\u00a0 \u00a0It was so noce seeing so manyu old freinds!<\/p>\n

THis was a pot luck so folks braught all sorts of yummy food. Huge thanks to our friends Deb and Jen who prepared a beautiful\u00a0 spread of middle eastern food with spiced chicken.. We were well stocked.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the peak max\u00a0 and becky stood up and thanked everybody for coming and spoke from his heart about how happy he and becky were to be surrounded by so much love !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody helped with the clean up and by the time we all went to bed the house was pretty much put back together again

y that time we were nicely tired.. as we headed up to bed I checked our weather station. We’d received\u00a0 1.7r inches of rain.. and it hadn’t dampened our day a single drop !<\/p>\n

Our hearts are full !<\/p>\n

Thank you Max and Becky for bringing the party to us !<\/p>\n
