A true team- the Romancing the Home girls do it again!  What can I say-  when this group of women put their minds to it- magic just happens!   Laurell, Candy, Penny, Katha, Julie, Linda, and Christy all made Amy and John"s day happen.  It was a gorgeous 75 degree day - the sun was shining and people were happy!  It was so much fun meeting John and Amy's delightful family and really fun friends, just a great mix of people.  Each of the RTH girls helped prepare the food and decor.  When we toured Amy through the special touches that we had made for her, tears flowed- both from her eyes and ours.  Lloyd kept all the glasses full  and replenished. Jesse, Laurell's daughter in law, did an amazing job taking great pictures of the event.  I love a the intimate gathering of friends and family in one's home- it gives a home its soul.  The girls really did an amazing job - so professional yet so personal for our Amy.  We love you Amy! We will be joining www.betweennapsontheporch.net for Tablescape Thursday.
