Bridal Shower Bonanza

So this past week I really have felt so blessed to have my "family to be"

& the friends that I have up here with me.

It was so sweet the work they went to to make my bridal showers special.

& with my family and friends that I grew up with being so far away it made me sad that they couldn't be there..

 but it really meant a lot to me that I have the wonderful people that I do in my life still trying to make it a positive experience.

It really turned out SO cute.

Thank you to everyone who came & contributed..

You all are the best.

So.. now..

Something that I learned about Bridal Showers?

People dress you up in things that you wouldn't normally choose to be dressed up in..

[oh.. wrapping paper, ribbon, tissue paper, TOILET paper..]

The joys of getting married.

:)



& these are my sweet sisters to be..

& Bridesmaids of course.

I love you guys.

& then there is..

Bridal Shower take #2



Que.. Wrapping.



& just a warning..

The following [and previous] post contains WAY more pictures of me than anyone probably ever wanted to see..

[I guess when you aren't the one taking pictures you don't get them of everyone else.. note to self]

haha if that scares you..

 I wouldn't proceed

:)

They mummified me alive!
& then proceeded to have me keep it on for most of the party..

It was good practice for the suffocating I will be doing in my wedding dress is I guess what they were thinking..

I also received presents that I definitely never have gotten for a birthday before..

This is Shelby's drawing of her present..

If you can't see it..

it's not you.

There wasn't much there.

:)



Elana.. yes.. Shelby made me open your gift.

In fronnnt of evvveryone.

:)
ah.

haha I love you.

It was quite the experience.
Thanks everyone I love you SO much. 
& to all of my loved ones that weren't there.. 
I hope you know how much I miss you and wish that you would have been.
I love you guys & know you would have been there if you could have.
:)

I hope everyone is having a great conference weekend.

oh.. and..

[This was from yesterday..so..]
