This weekend was my bridal shower, put together by Jinnifer, Lorie, Kim, my mom and Mike's mom. It went great, although it was a little surreal (and awkward being the center of attention.) I am wondering if I will feel the same at the wedding. I know it seemed to go by really fast--I've heard that's how the receptions go too. Sometimes I feel so silly talking about the wedding, wedding, wedding. Even after all this time, it almost doesn't seem real.
Anyway, it was GREAT having so many of my friends there. Unfortunately, a few could not be there due to other commitments, etc., but still, we had 18 so I was very happy! I didn't get to really "visit" all that much but I think we kept it moving so people weren't sitting around looking at towels for too long, well, except for Krista, but that's a special case. : ) I received some very nice gifts, which we will put to good use. Of course, Kim made me cry with her gift - - a shadowbox with our invitation. It literally took my breath away. I was not expecting that.
I am so lucky to have so many friends who care about me and support me. It is actually difficult to speak about it in front of everyone without getting emotional, but I am really very grateful to all of them and am so glad to have them in my life. The girls worked hard and put together a fabulous party. I cannot wait for everything to come together for the wedding.
My parents were in town for the weekend and that went well. They took Mike and I out for dinner last night. Today we all slept in and were lazy. It was great not having to do anything today. It's been awhile since I've had that luxury so I took full advantage. It will be awhile before that happens again. . .
