Jeannie's Chateau Elan Benefit

Saturday evening I went with a few friends from church to a benefit at Chateau Elan for Dare to Share. There was a silent auction, a live auction, a band, free drinks and fabulous food. Above is a picture of the dress I wore (before I had my hair and makeup done) Cindy is the only one with a picture of all of us done up and getting ready to leave...so I will post that later.
We all met at Jeannie's house to get ready-where we swapped shoes, bags, dresses and makeup. Took turns fluffing eachothers hair and were pretty much a bunch of girls playing dress up.
We all had such a good time at the party we didn't meet everyone there but saw the names of famous people on the silent auction sign up sheets. The food was great we had wine, bread, the best salad ever-strawberries, goat cheese, pecans and a fantastic dressing. There was steak and snapper served with asparagus and those of you that know me know I love asparagus like life-no joke. The desert was a custard with berries on top...delicious! and of course coffee. Carey and I went out to visit the cheese table and it was to die for-of course I could live on cheese alone. Then during the fashion show I was talking (which I tend to do with my hands) and knocked my drink over, but let me tell you this was ingenious! I had like two sips left maybe, but the server came over and poured me a whole new glass. The drinks were only free from 6-7 and you got one free one with dinner so I was scoring with this drink spilling. Carey thought it was so great she considered tipping her glass over too! I got home about 11 and crashed on the couch while my DH finished up his show and then we crawled into bed-It was such a party night that I couldn't get up for church the next morning...We'll just call it my quiet time!
