I feel that it is very avant-garde of me to do this post a day after the series title.
Also. To be more truthful, I left my computer’s power cord at Mocha Club on Tuesday night, so I was unable to write a blog post on for Wednesday because ye old laptop was so dead it was merely a paperweight with a keyboard.
Therefore, post on Thursday.
I thought I’d show you some pictures from the Super Bowl party last Sunday.
Let’s actually back up to a few weeks ago when Wes said, “Wanna throw the Super Bowl Party?” and I was all, “Uh, okay. I mean, I’m pretty new around here, but I like to party, so let’s do this.”
Then I called in reinforcements – namely, Heather. She’s an insanely talented party planner and we put our heads together a few times and planned this puppy out.
We had an appropriate sized budget with which to decorate, give prizes, and feed 150 college students. We passed the food duties to the amazing Allison [don’t get me started on how much I like her and her husband… it’ll run them off] and Heather and I handled the decor and prizes and flow.
But then Heather was out of town and so it was me and a list of awesome things to do.
So last Thursday, I put a Super Bowl shaped emergency signal into the night sky and eight of my small group girls responded. And we sat together for a few hours and completed all the decorations for the party.
[No exaggeration. These girls were party-savers. I do not think Sunday night would have come together without their help.] And with their permission, here are a few shots from the night.
[PS- Dear NFL, I refuse to be a part of throwing a Super Bowl Party ever again if the teams have the same colors. That was challenging and boring at the same time. Worst combo of adjectives. Sincerely, Annie]
Now with the prep done, it’s time to party. Thankfully, a couple of my friends also helped with the set up. My people, they are wonderful.
We had an absolute blast. I can’t believe that I’m lucky enough to get to spend part of my life throwing parties for college students from church, work with amazing leaders, volunteer under amazing pastors, and make cake balls.
My blue and red cup runneth over.
