This weekend was my bridal shower bash. My bridesmaids
Lauren and Lindsay flew in from their out-of-state locations. We did a Bachlorette Bash Friday night involving "embarassing objects" and drinks. I'm not much of a party person these days, so I was a bit out of my element. But the girls went to a lot of work to plan this night for me. Everyone was pretty tired from the craziness of delayed flights, missing luggage, and SUVs "dropping by" in my front yard (its a long story). So I only had a few drinks and most of the girls left before 1am. But I enjoyed the time with my girlfriends!
Saturday we relaxed and did some preparation for the shower on Sunday. The shower was
great. Many of my family members were able to make it. I was also very touched to see all of my barn pals there. They are truly like another part of my family. And I'll admit I felt a few whelms of emotion flushing through my body when I thought about how nice it was to see my family on a happy occasion. The last time I saw most of them it was at my grandmother's funeral. She was definitely on my mind Sunday. She would have been very excited for the shower, especially the "bridal bingo" and watching me open all my presents. I could almost hear her sweet voice and laughter as I opened my shiny new kitchen stuff. But as mom noted in some of her posts on here, it would have been a very confusing and anxious time for her because it was just too hard to grasp new big things like that.
Now that this major weekend is done and over with. It is time to finish up the final preparations for the big day. I can't believe the wedding is only a few weeks away. I'm very excited and anxious, I can only imagine how flip-flopping my stomach will be that morning! Good thing I have daddy to hold me up down the aisle and my future husband to hold me up at the alter =)
