Over the weekend we had a little party for locals friends and family.

party

We all ‘sat on the cover’ and I signed their books and they all signed my original copy.

well this is fun

I had no idea how to sign my own name in a book so a few weeks ago I practiced in this one on multiple pages with multiple pens so I could find the right combination.

I think this is the part where Emily and Dad told Bri about The Ugandan Secret, Bri was on the trip too. If you are a Hope*ologist you’ll get that. Everyone else, please disregard this photo.

Thank you to Carole, Amy and Alex from Bebe Gallini’s for hosting this fun party. Carole worked so hard that she’s a blur in the photos.

To Reeve for singing…

To Sophie for taking these photos…

To Emily for keeping me sane because she’s already written 3 books and knows how to do stuff like this…

To Chad for lugging in all the cover furniture…

Tomorrow, we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled imperfect blog posts–I can’t wait to show you what color we painted our bedroom!

Also, I highly recommend the Big Fringe Garland. We keep making more so we can decorate with it for every party, when you are done, you just roll it up and use it again next time!

Lastly, YOU ALL.

Your emails and tweets and IGs and messages and texts about this book? You made this the best week ever. This was SO FUN!
