Dinner Party!

Melissa, Amanda, me

This week a couple of my dear friends hosted a dinner party for me and a few of my girlfriends.  The two gals in the picture with me above were the lovely hostesses.  Amanda asked me awhile back if she could throw a dinner party for me about halfway through my treatment - so I would have something fun to look forward to in the midst of all the chemo yuckiness.  It was amazing!  I did look forward to it for weeks and it was so fun to get together with the girls and eat, drink, and laugh.

Since the "official" color of Hodgkin's Lymphoma is purple, Amanda had set the table with fun purple decorations.  Here are a few pictures:

How cute?!  She did such a nice job!  I am so grateful for Melissa and Amanda to have thrown this dinner party and I'm grateful for all the gals who took time out of their lives and away from their families to be there with me.  I have the BEST friends! (And they're beautiful too!)

Thanks to Amanda and Melissa and the rest of these wonderful people!

Love,
