I woke up before my alarm starting ringing on Saturday morning...because I was so excited about getting to spend the day with six of my best friends. The DC girls who are in our wedding had planned a perfect day, complete with wine tasting, delicious food, quality girl time and cool fall weather.
I always forget how much I love the Virginia countryside until I return. It's beautiful!
I felt so special with my "Future Mrs. Hoff" sash on all day!
We had an amazing picnic on the edge of a little pond.
When we got back to DC, we had dinner at one of my favorite Italian spots followed by a lovely little party at Laine's apartment.
The treats were amazing!
Let's just say this: there was lots of laughter and a good time was had by all!
Carolyn made my adorable MRS wooden blocks!
"In friendship...we think we have chosen our peers. In
reality a few years' difference in the dates of our births, a few more miles
between certain houses, the choice of one university instead of another...the
accident of a topic being raised or not raised at a first meeting--any of these
chances might have kept us apart. But, for a Christian, there are, strictly
speaking no chances. A secret master of ceremonies has been at work. Christ,
who said to the disciples, you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, I can
truly say to every group of Christian friends, you have not chosen one another
but I have chosen you for one another. The friendship is not a reward for our
discriminating and good taste in finding one another out. It is the instrument
by which God reveals to each of us the beauties of others."
C.S. Lewis
