I had the honor to once again go to the White House Holiday Party, or as I refer to it, the White House Christmas Party. This year, I took my friend Audrey as my guest. Honestly, she had been on the top of my list last year but then I met this boy, invited him, and she got moved down the list. Now that the boy is my fiance, I figured it was definitely her turn. Audrey is a dear friend (we traveled to Moscow together last fall) and she's going to be helping me with several things in the wedding planning process so I thought it would be nice to take her with me.
Of course, the highlight was getting our picture taken with POTUS and FLOTUS. Audrey talked to POTUS for a few minutes and invited him to church. I didn't have anything planned to say so I ended up having small talk with FLOTUS about the trip to Hawaii and the organic farm I went to with her. By the end of the conversation, my neck was hurting because THAT WOMAN IS TALL!! If you notice, I come to her WAIST! And I'm wearing heels!!
We had a great, great time! As I've mentioned before, one of the best things is taking someone who has never experienced being in the WH before and seeing it through their eyes. I'm pretty sure that Audrey loved it and had a great time! 
The White House was decorated beautifully as always and we had a great time mingling with my colleagues and sitting on pretty much every piece of furniture possible. 
It was a truly fun and memorable evening and I really do appreciate the Obamas for opening their home for us! :)
