It was our first annual (post holiday season) Memory Journalists celebration party, and we timed it just right to be on the day that Dynamite Weddings launched! How's that for keeping on track to a schedule. :-) Everyone was able to come to our home, minus one new addition to the B2B Girls (soon to introduce the Fuse). We loved having everyone over to celebrate their hard work and our joint efforts in a successful year.

The Dynamite Weddings girls: From left to right - front row - the Flare (Amanda), The Flame (Kirsten), me, The Firecracker (Bree), Sparky (Kate), and NJ (Nicole) in the back. Missing from the photo is the Blaze (Nicole) and the Fuse (Alyssa).The color scheme was in honor of the Dynamite Weddings colors - hot pink, lime green, and turquoise. The candles, the drinks, the flowers, and everyone's attire matched our colors. Teresa even dolled up her toe nails to match her shirt and wore pink flowers in her hair.
Cory served up drinks faster than he could make them. What do you expect with 13 girls. I won't even say how many bottles of vodka we went through! Dessert was provided by a friend of Teresa's - hmmm yummmmy - we all loved those "sweaty balls!" Yes, they are called Sweaty Balls.
This is my BFF (best friend forever and my MOH at my wedding) Kerry and her BFF Tammy, which through transitive rules kind of makes Tammy my BFF, right?
I had to shoot this image of our version of the best lookin' Charlie's Angels - all three 6' blondes. Kerry, Kelly, and Trina.
We enjoyed catering from 4th Street Bar and Grille - the stuffed mushrooms were a hit. I added Cheetos to the list myself (see the big bowl in front - everyone loved eating them!) And party rentals were from a Dynamite Vendor - Celebrations.
I snuck away to snap this picture of the mounds of purses and coats on the bed. I thought about accidentally taking my new favorite purse. whoops...
Before the night got too far away, I gave a little speech (Cory snapping away with the camera) and presented all our girls with a little gift. (Alyssa yours is wrapped and waiting!) I hope we all can share in what we read amongst each other! I look forward to growing and sharing with each of you.
Thank you to Matt who came prepared to only stay a short while, as it was a date night with his beautiful wife, but ended up staying until the wee hours with all us girls! Cory loved the male company!

Your welcome ladies for the sweaty balls. I promise I will never show up to a MJ/DW night without those in hand. You have my word.
Thanks to Jenn and Cory for opening their home to all of us. And special thanks to Cory and "Mr. Flare" for putting up with some of our wierd conversations.
