Making Shabbos

To repay the hospitality I have been receiving during all the holidays, I am having a friend stay for Shabbos. I decided to make a meal for us and a couple of other friends. I went shopping and then came home to cook. I made challah, chicken, fish, dessert and have the makings for a few other things. I also managed to clean my room, the refrigerator and do laundry. I feel so accomplished and I can't wait to have such a nice Shabbos meal. There really is something beautiful about preparing for Shabbos.
