Bridal Shower

We are so excited to Celebrate the union of Mike and Amanda!!!! We are excited to meet Mike's family. I will be sending out an evite to the actual bridal shower with all the information in a few days. Here is the list of people invited and next to your name is what we would like you to bring to the shower. We have decided to do COUPLE'S FIRST. It is a fun theme and you can be really creative and it can be inexpensive. We will give you some ideas as to what to get if you are stuck.

Scroll down until you find your name and review your gift item. There are some families that are all living in the same house hold, you can all do the same theme and contribute to that gift. Some are doubled up and that is okay, people will get different things.

You can put your items in cute baskets (Micheals has cute ones), or bags, or wrap them up.

We had a bridal shower for Amanda and Mike on Monday. We than enjoyed a spaghetti dinner with Mike's family. The guys babysat the kids downstairs while the girls enjoyed a shower. Everything seemed so rushed but it was still fun. We didn't even let the nasty weather keep us from having fun. Mike's family even kept to the schedule even after being lost in the blizzard.

SO MUCH LOVE

This is revision #2 because #1 got lost in cyberspace somewhere and it makes me mad cause it was good! :)

Thank you for sharing the deeper part of your thoughts with me...baby, I just love you.....it BLOWS ME AWAY how similar we are, how many common loves we share...seriously if there ever was a list of things I wanted in a guy, you fulfill it--even down to the simplest things like the fact that you love avocado and Regina Spektor.

I think you SHOULD keep a journal :) that way our kids won't just have my side of the story ;) and besides you are 10x better at remembering the details, especially when it comes to things we've said.....

How I got so blessed to have you in my life is beyond my comprehension, but I pray everyday that I will be able to deserve that love you so generously offer me. I pray that I will be able to offer you that same amount of love everyday of my life spent with you (you know the deep kind that elevates you even when the person isn't present)....You have, from moment one, done the best job at loving me....You have pursued me, wooed me (k...that is seriously my least favorite word right now....honestly, say it out loud "to woe"--EWE...I'm not erasing it though)--FYI that was my favorite part in the first draft---BACK TO THE LIST....you have called on me, written me wonderful things that I will cherish forever,taken me out, been patient with me, respected me, taken so many first steps at moving our relationship forward...You have done it all "right," and that is exactly why it is "right." You seriously fell out of sky and I am so happy you found me years later :)...... I want to grow with you, live out my life laughing with you....

I miss you!
I love you!
p.s. Dress warm tonight! :)
