Bridal Shower pictures

Here is a picture of the amazing tablescape that Deb H, a fellow florist, did for my bridal shower. It was just awesome! She said I could take all of the brown and blue pots, and the kale, fern and boxwoods home with me. They are now adorning the tables of my mom's dining room.

It was harmony to the eye.


I had lots of fun opening all those gifts!! Looks like my mom is having a good time too.


My two moms and me :)



The shirt I wore was a gift from Amy and Sarah D. You probably can't tell in the pictures, but it was so pretty- ruffly and romantic- my favorite. Thanks again, girls!

Halfway there

We're about halfway through our engagement period. Three and a half weeks ago, Mark proposed, and in three and a half weeks, we're getting married! And going to Hawaii... I can't wait!

Our Wyoming trip was unreal. We crammed a lot of fun and activities into just a few days, and I hardly thought about the wedding at all. The group of people out in Saratoga (Steph A, Erick A, Kellie I, Jim H, and Mindie M) really know how to show visitors a good time. We went to the ranch that Steph and Kellie work at, sat in the hot springs multiple times, hiked one mountain and drove up another, and camped a night on the shores of a clear, cold lake. It was hard to leave, but it also feels good to be back.

My shower went very well. There were so many people there, and I didn't even see them all! I really got showered with gifts- people are so generous. Thank you to all who made it and/or sent a gift; Mark and I are so blessed to have you in our lives.

Speaking of Mark, he is here right now. Well, not actually here, more like at Aho's rotating my tires. He also fixed my fan belt so that it doesn't squeak. What a guy :D Yesterday, we found him a suit, shirt and tie, and got the groomsmen shirts and ties, and applied for our marriage license. It was nice to get some more things checked off the list. I can hardly believe the next time I see him it will be for our wedding!

Carl and Bridget

Hop over to Jen's blog to see her amazing photos from her sister Bridget's wedding. I did the flowers with the help of my trusty assistant, Kayla.
