[Bridal] Showered in looove
Bridal shower was a much needed night to celebrate! I've been getting overwhelmed by the logistics and have been to busy to enjoy this engagement thing so it was nice to relax and get encouragement and advice from my friends. I got a little emotional driving to my bridal shower on Saturday (95% sure that isnt the new birth control- but legit sentiment) thinking of how blessed I am to have such amazing girl friends from all phases of my life. At my shower I had family who has known me always, friends that I knew in middle school, high-school friends, college roommates, my mission trainer and co-workers. Admittedly, I was missing my Missouri mother and my 210 girls, but was still overwhelmed by a night showered with love by my favorite local gals.

Before we opened gifts, Missy asked everyone to introduce themselves and share a piece of advice for me. A lot of people recommended "The 5 Love Languages" and "Between Husband and Wife" (which i just bought but have no idea when i'll read it- is the honeymoon plane ride too late?). Other advice was, it is okay to go to be angry sometimes, it is okay to voice what is really bothering you, date with eyes wide open and after you are married learn to close your lids to imperfections, seek to your spouse as God sees them, keep in touch with your girlfriends, have girls night, set things down when your husband gets home and greet him, make sure God is a the center, don't talk to your friends/family about fights/disagreements because they dont forget, guys and girls bond differently so make sure you are both fulfilled and sacrifice for each other, and of course, have lots of sex (in the dark, in the light and even if you dont really want to). I'm sure I forgot some. . .

Congrats, you made the cut.
If you are here, you probably got your announcement. (Announcements were sent/hand delivered in a few waves so most of you should have gotten them by now or will get them soon.)
We put this lovely blog on your announcement so that you could easily find registry and reception information and so that you could share the engagement experience with us. We plan on keeping up this blog for our family use so please feel free to bookmark away.
One person we know got theirs is Leo the Lion- we know this because our pic is posted on the RSL facebook page. Pretty cool. You can see his post here. This might be as famous as I'll ever get, so I'm embracing the moment. (Plus, my self-esteem likes it when random people think i'm a catch.)
