Craig and Marisa's Engagement party

A cold swept out house and Wil and Jason missed out on a fun Engagement Party down in Tampa! Craig proposed to Marisa around Easter and they plan on a romantic intimate wedding in October in Philedelphia. Al and Suzanne are good friends of the Ciaks and they threw an awesome party for the lovebirds! Al and Suzanne live right next door to Nina and Gary (Ris's parents.) Elsie and I made a long girls day of it and we got a chance to catch up at the Ciak's house first. It was good to see so much of her family-I haven't seen some of them since she graduated college! The Ciaks and their friends are such caring and energetic friends to us and we felt right at home around them once more! Elsie made quick friends with everyone, but especially with Carrie who was a little younger than Elsie. Everyone helped me keep an eye on my little party girl but I was so amused by how she and Suzanne were hitting it off! We all enjoyed forcing Craig to tell us the story of how he met Ris and his dramatic proposal too! I have the best feeling about these two. Its fun to watch them as they finish each others' stories and stare into each others' eyes! They are the real thing and I am so happy for both of them!
