Superbowl Party

I enjoy entertaining and hosting people at my house but in all honesty, I haven't done it that much. I always seem to be the one to help others host parties at their house or find myself inviting people out to dinner instead of inviting them over. I think subconsciously I have a slight hesitance toward hosting. I inherited it from my mom. My mom is an amazing host, but she always told me that it used to make her so nervous - my grandma suffered from the same thing. Maybe we should come up with a term here - hostitis. I don't think I really ever think about the fact that I suffer from hostitis, but it's there and obviously it's genetic. I always make up excuses as to why I can't host people, i.e., my house isn't big enough (and as you can see by the dining room table we only have seating for two!), I am not a good cook, what if there isn't enough food, I don't want to clean house, what if they get bored, what if they won't leave (that one cracks me up) and the list goes on.

In an attempt to better myself I am trying to overcome my hostitis disease. I recently had a couple over for breakfast, it went great. Then, I had a friend over for cheese and wine - super easy. And this Sunday, we had a Superbowl party! Here are the boys that attended the soiree. I was nervous about all of the things mentioned above - but it all worked out. We ended up having enough food to feed both the Cardinals and the Steelers entire offensive lines, the food was great, there was totally enough room for everyone and we had a great time. On a side note, wasn't this a great Superbowl?

I am going to try to think of more ways to get friends and family over here! Any takers? We would love to have you. Hosting friends and family, just another thing I do during my Life As A Wife.
