Embracing Magic: The forecast says...scattered showers!

Well what an exciting wedding update! Not much news about the townhouse...except that we have the beginnings of a kitchen floor! Yay! Hopefully we will see some progresss this weekend Brian and I had our first wedding shower on Saturday, hosted by the wonderful Missy and Jen Davenport! They did an amazing job. It was such a great time. We had a great time at the shower, and we were very overwhelmed at the abundance of gifts. Both of us came away feeling so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. The shower was a bed and bath shower, so we are well stocked in those departments now. Thank you to everyone who contributed to our new supply of bedroom and bathroom gifts! We played several games at the shower. The first was for everyone but me. I had to leave the room while everyone answered questions about what I was wearing. Brian did pretty well, but had trouble discerning hot pink nail polish from red. The next game was dealing with everyone's purse. There was a point sheet that everyone must add up the items they could find in their purses. That was fun to watch! I'm afraid if I had done it, it would have taken days. The last game was to see how well Brian knew me. He answered 5/10 correctly, which doesn't really reflect how well he knows me. He thinks that the questions were too tricky. You know excuses, excuses. After the shower, I got a headstart on the bridesmaids' gifts. Yay, I'm excited! Then the big event....we bought our wedding bands. We are pretty simple folk...the plain yellow gold bands for us. I didn't want to take away from the diamond. Brian said that buying the bands was much better than buying an engagement ring. He he! I guess we are pretty well committed now that we have the bands. Well here are pics from this weekend! ShowerTime!
