I have been wanting to blog this forever! But life happens, internet goes out…..computers crash…..taxes need to be done……yes I said taxes, and we’ll just say I’m not getting a head start on next year. Anyway……

We have a slight obsession with Jane Austin and more specifically Pride and Prejudice around here! Even Steven though he would never admit it has sat through a couple hours of the movie here and there. We have a very special friend from Japan, Fusae, who gets to come visit about once a year and it just happens to be around her birthday. I think she might be the biggest P&P fan out there. Well when Kendra found out she had never seen the full 6 hour BBC version of the movie, she thought she would plan a little surprise party for sweet Fusae!
I think it is quite possible that I had more fun than the girls……of course my overachieving self went a little crazy with the details……we moved the furniture, borrowed a projector, covered all the windows, lots of candles and Kendra even made a little display of her favorite Jane Austin book (a gift from sweet Alana) some votive candles and a hand written proposal from Mr. Darcy himself……….fine china, fancy punch, cucumber & cream cheese finger sandwiches, chocolate dipped strawberries, mini muffins, well……you get the idea. But the crowing touch was Kendra’s Idea….we designed custom t shirts with her favorite quote on the back. They were adorable!!
Needless to say Fusae was completely surprised, and ecstatic! Here are a few of my favorite memories………
and a couple film images just for fun!
