So, I've been a bit stressed and busy lately, with work mainly, but last week was Natalie's Bridal Shower and it was absolutely beautiful! With the help of Lori, Julie, Rachael, Sarah, and others, we had the best shower I've ever been to!
Have any of you been to a shower that was boring, super slow, cheesy, and just gave you that feeling that doing laundry is extremely important!
It all started with the... okay, well, it actually started quite a long time before last Sunday at 5 p.m., so, okay, the BRIDAL SHOWER event started with an array of colorful, yummy bite-sized goodies to eat on the pink and green decorated tables with flowers, cake, cookie-wedding-cakes, presents, and close friends and family all there to celebrate this huge life-changing step for Natalie!
The room was absolutely beautiful! We ate as much food as we could (although most of us had just been to El Rodeo about an hour before...)! Then we transitioned into a questionnaire trivia game with questions like, "How much was the most expensive wedding?" which was somewhere around $40 million or so. Prizes were passed out and we then led to the activity...
With coordinated paper and embellishments, we had each guest complete an 8 by 8 scrapbook page for Natalie. With a Polaroid camera, and copies of pictures of Natalie and Adam, each person was able to design and create a perfect page for Natalie to be able to look at and remember a specific moment and person. Many brought their own pictures, but with the combination of taking a fresh new picture with the guest and Nat and pictures from the past really created a special book with each person's hand-written wishes... and I'm so happy that Natalie will have this memory forever!
Presents were opened and guests left and it was over...
A perfect event!
Can we rewind and do it again?!

This picture is one that Natalie gave to me, and I made a copy for a scrapbook page...

I'm so glad you finally added to your blog. I check it everyday and it has been a long time.
Thanks.
Love,
Mom
I thought you had given up the blog thing too, since it had been about 2 weeks. Then I checked it and was pleasantly surprised to see so many entries.
As far as the shower goes, yeah, it was great, but not great enough to do it all again, are you crazy??
Hey... like the rest of them, I too check every day to see if you have made any new posts. I wana see some pictures of the shower, when you get a chance please post some. (Not trying to be bossy or anything).
Its exciting to see what kind of stuff you come up with. Even though its hard to find time or internet access, keep posting. Its really fun.
