Roos shower...

The Roos family always has a grocery shower for the engaged couple, which was a nice change having John there. Instead of just giving us the groceries, they blindfolded us (John read this and said, "I know kinky." Welcome to my husband.) and made us guess what we were holding as they handed it to us. We rocked it, to say the least. It was super fun.

le ward...

The ward shower was put on by Barb and Venice. Pretty much my second mothers. The food was fabulous, which was not good, because I ate non-stop, and we got a crap load of gifts. But that's okay, because we needed them.

I was so so so excited to see Shauna. I haven't seen her, or Andrea for ages and it was nice to be able to catch up with an old friend. Even if Ang couldn't make it, it was good to see her mom.

Shower number two was hosted by four of my very best friends. Abbi, Mandy, Marianne, and Melissa went all out at this shower, there was food everywhere, and pictures of John and I. It was fun to see everyone that I haven't seen in a while. There was even a quiz about John..I didn't do horribly, John answered with things I never would have expected (Calvin and Hobbes is his favorite book, is that even considered a book?) Oh well...it was fun.

THANK YOU girls. Love you all.

the beginning of the end...

Last night was the first of many showers before the wedding, and I must say that it was pretty entertaining. I'm not a shower person but it was good, so a big THANK YOU to Stacey, Jan, Bri, and Steph. We started out by eating, (chicken salad sandwiches, my favorite!) and then we played this lovely game. There were three teams, and they had to make bridal gowns out of toilet paper and tape.

These were the three different brides...
Jenny, Steph, and Kate

Because I was the final vote on the gown, I was the officially baby holder. Something I didn't object to.

Cute Cali. Just had to throw a picture of her in here.

This was the winning bride with her bridesmaids.
Kate, Rebekah, Morgan, and Amy

Stacey decided that I look like a Who from Whoville when I put my face like this, so she had to take a picture. Thank you Jenny for the lovely headpiece/vail.

Movie essentials from Bri. Perfect gift for us, because I swear that's all we do.

And this is the must-have for a 2009 grocery shower, a re-usable grocery bag. Both of my sissies had this lovely idea. :)

We made a haul. Seriously, we got so much food, and we have nowhere to put it at this point. It is now sitting in a corner in my bedroom until John finishes the kitchen in the apartment...which hopefully is early next week. Eeek. I don't know if I'm ready for packing. It is my biggest enemy.
