Dinner guests

We had our first official dinner party in our new condo tonight (we're not counting Courtney and Mayna eating off of paper plates on top of boxes as they helped us move) and I must say that I've desperately missed having people over. It's so much easier not to, but it's also so much less of a home that way.

We served lasagna (expertly prepared by Amanda's mom), garlic bread and salad, and after-dinner tea, effectively using all portions of our brand new dinnerware set (which we bought to give the place an old-time beach-rental feel, with its simple but charming classic look). I'm really looking forward to finishing out the kitchen in this new style and continuing to have people over to enjoy this space.
