43 Days. . .

Last Sunday my mom's friends threw me an amazing around the calendar shower. I was completely overcome by all they did. All around the house were the best decorations for every month of the year. The food they made was absolutely delicious, as was the cake. And the flowers were beautiful!

It was so great to see everyone that I don't get to see on a normal basis. It was also nice to have Lauren, Betsy and Michelle there. They were all extremely helpful. When it was time to open presents, Lauren wrote down who they were from, Betsy helped collect trash and make the "bow"quet, and Michelle ran all the presents back and forth. It ran like clockwork.

Billy and I are so blessed to have amazing friends and family. We have gotten so many items that we definitely will need. We can't wait to move into our apartment and get married so we can use it all!

I was going to post pictures from the shower, but I did not take any and I have not gotten them from anyone yet. So as soon as I get those, I will put them up.

Tuesday (since that is my day off) has turned into the "get everything done" day. I took my dress back to the shop and got measured for alterations. The only thing I am doing is putting a bustle in and possible taking in the bodice. I finished writing all my thank-yous for the shower, and I did all my laundry. I did a few other little things and called it a day.

Tonight we are having a "Jack and Jill" Shower thrown by Billy's mom and her good friend. We are both so excited about it and we can't wait to see everyone! I am especially excited that Marisa and her husband are coming in from Dallas for the shower and Bryan and Betsy and Caleb are coming in town for the whole weekend!

I have to work both Saturday and Sunday, but luckily we will be done by 2 or 3 on Sunday. I hope everyone has a great weekend and has fun watching the Superbowl!
