Jennifer and I had a very special evening planned this Friday because we got to go to Protiviti's Annual Summer Party. The theme for this year's party was a Hawaiin Luau complete with Blue Hawaiin drinks, Hula Dancers, Fire Eaters and an authentic Hawaiin Band. The party was held along the water at the new park in Downtown Houston, Discovery Green. Let me just say that this party was awesome. Houston gets a really bad rap because it is basically just this giant piece of concrete and for the most part it is true. However, Discovery Green is definitely a step in the right direction. The venue for our party was right along the waterway and there was an awesome view of the Houston Skyline. The neatest party about this whole thing was that the boys A-Maw planned the party. I know she would pass some of the accolades on to others, but for the purposes of http://www.seelyfam.com/, she planned the whole thing!
Getting to the party last night was a four step process. I had to call in a number of favors to get this done, but everything seemed to work out just fine.
Step 1 - Gran drove in from Lufkin to stay with the boys. I know she doesn't mind getting to hang out with the boys at all, but we are alway eternally grateful for all Gran does for us. Without her we wouldn't ever be able to go to any of these types of events.
Step 2 - One of my friends who works in The Woodlands and lives downtown stopped by the house to pick us up and drop us off @ Lil Woodrows in Midtown. Special thanks to Annu for being so flexible and helping us out!
Step 3 - The boy's girlfriend's mom, Emily, stopped by the house after we left to help Gran with bath and bedtime! Bathing and getting two infants to bed at the same time is a huge pain in the @$$, so Emily stopped by to help. She is very experienced in this task!
Step 4 - Kyle and Stacy Peterson were attending the party and live just down the street from us. They are expecting their second child so Stacy was the designated driver for the night.
As you can see, the logistics for last night had a lot of moving parts. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who helped us last night. Without such wonderful family and friends, Jennifer and I would go freakin' stir crazy stuck in the house.
