The 20/20 d-EYE-ner

At the start of Tim's third year of Optometry school (wow) our good friend Rachael suggested we do a special dinner for our husbands with our friends the McLemore's to commemorate their hard work and celebrate the accomplishments they've made in Optometry school so far. Rachael, Maddie, and I sneakily (/not-so-sneakily) had a "visiting teaching planing meeting" one night to plan the party. I would say it turned out pretty great :) We kept it a surpise from our husbands (well, at least we tried) and I'm pretty sure they were happily surprised.

My favorite quote from the night, Tim said something along the lines of- "Jude, you need to find a wife that will do amazing things like this for you." Be still my heart!

So the boys were first greeted by this...


 (our decorations were pretty much the bomb)

....then by these lovely Opticians....

                     

....then this eye-catching menu (see what I did there?)....
...and finally by this mighty fine spread....



These guys are pretty cute.




You can't forget dessert!




We had such a lovely time with lovely people whom I am grateful to call friends. When people ask me what I think about Texas, I know my opinion wouldn't be the same if we did not have so many wonderful people to share this experience with.

    This is so cute! We heard that you guys were busy busy busy so that's why you couldn't make it to San Diego. We missed you over the weekend!

      Lauren! We so wished we could've been there! This post was actually from a while ago-but Tim did have to go out to Colorado for an Optometry Residency thing. I hope we can get to see you guys sometime this year somehow! And always know you have a place waiting for you in Texas!
