To say the least, yesterday was busy! So a third post had to
wait until today. Sunday was my bridal shower. SO many friends and family came!
I couldn’t believe all the woman that piled into my parent’s double garage (which
was turned into party zone). It was pretty warm, but it was much cooler in the
garage than in outside. It was a beautiful 90 degree day – and humid! But the
atmosphere made up for it! Each of the women in attendance have touched our
lives in some way. I felt overwhelmed with the amount of people in one space –
for me! I think the greatest was seeing some of these lovely ladies who I haven’t
seen in a long time. A little reunion!
My bridesmaids and mom made the event perfect with great
food and just a few games. My matron of Honor, Rachel, got Dan to answer some
questions before the event so we could play the newlywed game. There were only
a few I didn’t get correct – I was very proud of that. We also played “How Well
Do You Know Kendra” which all guest had to answer questions about me. I wasn’t
surprised at all that my best friend Kristi won – lots of memories and history
between us. And then came the gift opening! Oh my goodness! I couldn’t believe
all the wrapping and boxes I saw on the table! I would have been just as happy
if there was nothing on that table and everyone just came to celebrate, but the
gifts are very much appreciated. I was really excited about the things we got,
and then really overwhelmed with how “showered” I was. I feel really spoiled! I
have no idea where to put everything right now!! Today is dedicated to the
process of going through everything and finding a home for it! I really want to
break out and use a lot of it though. I may have to make a feast for dinner or
something. I don’t think I have to wait right?
Overall, it was an amazing day! Thank you to ALL my family
and friends for making the day so perfect for me. I hope you all had fun and
didn’t melt away! I can’t wait to celebrate further at our wedding. 19 more days!
Mom took a lot of pictures from the day, so no pictures yet.
I’ll try to post some later on.
