yea, that is def true, but when you go out to dinner w/ 20 people, you usually don't foot the bill. haha
it's not that i'm unhappy we did it. Everything was really nice and everyone had a good time. And sometimes i think it's easier to have a bunch of people over at once than 4 or 6 at a time, cuz then it takes a lot longer to get around to different ones in the cong. We are trying eventually to have everyone over at one point or another, and we have 14 elders and 150 publishers, so that'll take a while.
You just kinda deceive yourself when you go to the liquor store one day, sam's club the next and the grocery store the last, you don't realize how much you're spending. lol
