It’s a Party!

Recently, Kelly and I hosted a housewarming party to celebrate the home we co-bought back in November. It still wasn’t 100% ready for show, but I was anxious to have the party and invite people into the new space: to cook for them, to give access to my extensive bar and wine selection, and to have the people I care for see the happiness that is growing there.

I love to host a good party. “Wait, what? Don’t you experience social anxiety?” Why, yes. Yes, I do. It’s funny. Of the two of us, Kelly is far more social than I am. She talks to strangers like she’s always known them. She is the reason we are friends. We were both in college “round 2” and she kept talking to me until I gave in. Not because I didn’t think she was a perfectly lovely person but because: stranger danger. But being surrounded by people I love in a space that I love, it’s a safe and wonderful feeling. At the party someone commented on how into the party I was, and I was kind of taken aback by how happy I actually was in that moment.

This isn’t going to be a long post (my last one was long-winded enough!). I’d rather tell the story with photos. I am looking forward to hosting another soiree in this space again soon! Stay tuned!
