Okay, I know I JUST blogged, but I am so excited that I can’t sleep! Last night was such a wonderful treat. Abe whisked me off to have dinner with one of my dearest friends, Liz Nyden. (Yesterday we calculated we’ve been friends for 23 years–isn’t that crazy?? We are so old!!) I was very excited to see her and eat her ever delicious food. When I entered her apartment, she told me she had a surprise for me.
I walked down her hall, and to my delight, I saw these beautiful women!

These friends date back to elementary, middle, and high school–and a couple of them I hadn’t had the pleasure of seeing in YEARS. It was sooooooooo wonderful to see them! I was overwhelmed and touched by this absolutely awesome surprise.
And I told you Liz was a great cook! –And a fabulous decorator. I have shamelessly copied her throughout the years–right down to ordering the same artwork she has hanging in her house and “gifting” it to Abe. I wish I had taken more pictures (story of my life), but at least I got a picture of this beautiful table of food and flowers:
And me looking happy and hungry:
Let me tell you, everything was SO delicious, beautiful, and fun. When I woke up this morning and started thinking about it, I couldn’t fall back asleep. It was so fun to spend the evening with these sweet and fun friends, and I am smiling just thinking about how much I loved seeing them! Also, I couldn’t fall asleep because Liz sent me home with one of her amaaaaaazing cupcakes, and it was calling me…So I got up and blogged. (I haven’t eaten the cupcake yet. I keep looking at it, but I want to preserve the pleasure for a more dignified time of day…in the meantime, Liz also gave me a lovely little bag of Trader Joes peanut butter cups that are enhancing the quality of my morning blog.)
A HUGE thank you to Liz for organizing such a beautiful highlight of this pregnancy. And giant hugs to all who came–I feel so loved and full of love!
