Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

So every month, my husband's flying squadron has a social for the spouses. It's just a time that we can get together and talk about upcoming events, recruit volunteers, and find out if anyone needs anything. Oh and socialize, of course. :)

In July, my friend hosted at her house. About 12 spouses showed and a few kiddos. They eventually passed around a sign up for others to host future socials. I figured if I was ever going to throw myself out there and meet more people, this was the way to do it. I signed up and figured I could do all my baking that I love and people could get to see our house that I just love and we've worked so hard to make a home :)

So time passed and we arrived at this past weekend...Sunday to be exact. I had just come back from California and was still in the midst of working everyday. This week my shift's been the early one starting at 0630( or oh-dark-thirty, as my husband would say). I thought I had planned out my baking a cleaning very well to accomodate my work schedule. Then I received a phone call to inform me that the Colonel (my husband's boss's boss's boss) had decided to come and speak to the wives and answer our questions.

*cue minor panic attack*

of course everything turned out fine :) and I even got some stuff done around the house that I've been meaning to do for awhile. Though, not alone! I had another awesome friend help out!

The social was a success and very informative. The Col. was very friendly, he even complimented my cake balls :) (I think he snuck a few home too!) I had a good time and even though I am exhausted from all that and work, it feels good to be this tired.
