Well, it is true. I've been blessed to be in many friends weddings. And with that, plan many a bridal shower. This past weekend was my turn to be in the "hot seat" -- opening the gifts and having everyone look at me -- as my closest friends threw me a bridal shower.
A highlight was the gift my mother made me.
It's praying hands and she included a very sweet letter giving it even more meaning.
And this is me announcing that my intentional breaking of the ribbon was for my mom. She's never pressured me to give her grand-kids, but I know she wants them.
As I look through the pictures from the shower, one thing occurs to me. I open my mouth pretty wide and quite a bit. You know, in an animated, excited kind of way. Well, you probably do know -- if you've been around me any length of time you've probably seen it. I've just never seen it and I'm learning something new about myself here.
See- like decorative napkins. I never realized I got so excited about them!
Or BBQ Sets? Apparently they amaze me!
Well anyhow, it was a perfectly relaxing afternoon. Until someone pointed out that the wedding was in 3 weeks. Woah. Really? That got the blood pressure going a bit. How can I possibly be getting married in only 3 weeks?
ps- thanks Christen for taking the pics... wait a minute? Did you intentionally take them when my mouth was wide open? You sly dog, you?!
