What a weekend! My bridesmaids threw me a FABULOUS bridal shower this weekend. What a wonderful time! Family and friends were so generous, I have so many great things to fix up our home and start our new life together. Part of the decorations for the shower were baby pictures of me and Dave. Dave is the cutest little baby, and I really hope that someday when we have babies they look just like him. One of my bridesmaids asked him what he thought our babies would be like and he responded, very simply with "Tall and inattentive." The frightening part is just how true that is! For a glimpse of one of my baby photo favors made by my very talented best friend see here.
With all the fuss over the shower I totally forgot that yesterday was my birthday. I'm 27 now, and boy does that seem old. The odd numbers always seem older, I don't know why. My Daddy is taking me to see Batman on Thursday and I can't wait. Oh Christian Bale, how I swoon over you. Happy Birthday to me, indeed.
Finally, with all this talk of baby photos, in other non-related baby news congrats to Brian and Paige who are pregnant with their second child! What wonderful news!
What happened to Spring? How come we don't get a Spring anymore? We go straight from 40 degree weather to 98 degree weather, and Mother Nature - I veto this plan. I'm sort of okay that Summer is so quickly upon us, mostly because I'm extremely ready for it to be over. The start, means the beginning of the end. There will be some work changes for me over the next two months and I'm really looking forward to them. They can't happen soon enough in my mind, but I will be patient.
Plus, lots of good things happen at the end of the summer - I get to go to Geneva (whoo hoo!), and then its Fall and holy shit I get married in the Fall. Like MARRIED, married. With a husband. I'm really excited for our wedding, I'm so glad all our loved ones are going out of their way to be here for us and celebrate with us. I think its going to be a great party, and lots of fun. I'm genuinely looking forward to it.
As for wedding planning, I think I'm the laziest bride ever. The lady at our venue site freaked out when I called her a couple of weeks ago asking if there was, like, you know, something I was supposed to be doing. "OHMYGOD. YOU HAVE TO GET IN HERE! THERE ARE DECISIONS!" oh. uh, okay! Listen here people, I've never done this before..so I'm happy to decide any thing you'd like but I didn't think there were that many decisions. Food? Check. Music? Check. Clothes? Check. What else is there? Oh the details of those things, you say? Hm. Okay, I guess I should get to work on that stuff.
We actually made some good decisions about the bridesmaids gowns, and the groomsmens tuxes, and other attire. I'm also super excited to have our rehearsal dinner at Iron Hill Brewery, and our next steps are to figure out the flowers (did you know they have a design? Really! They have a design!) and cake. Mmm, CAKE. I can't wait to do the cake part. I'm still working on my wedding band, I'm just struggling to find something I really love. I had been thinking about getting a ring with sapphires in it, but they're all either way too expensive or not what I'm really looking for. I may just be getting a simple platinum band, which I also really like too. So I think I've made some good progress, but there's still lots to do.
I just can't wait to spend time with my girlfriends getting ready, and celebrating all night. I'm looking forward to being surrounded by all the people who love us - what an honor that people would do that for us. I've been very blown away by how excited and supportive our friends and family are, and we just feel so loved. So, thank you to everyone who has been so kind and helpful for us over the last 6 months (can you believe its been that much time?!) and we can't wait to see you 4 months from now!
