I love showers!!

My last and final shower was for my side of the family and my close friends. It was put on by my wonderful (and beautiful!) sisters!! They all did such a great job and I feel so blessed to have such amazing women in my life. (Aren't my nieces quite?!)


To start out the day we went around the circle and did introductions. It was quite a unique crowd. You had my aunts and cousins, then my family friends, my friends from high school, friends from college, people I work with, just people from different areas of my life. But I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. All the women that were there have impacted my life in some way and as they went around saying their names and how they know me, I was reminded of how blessed I have been and still am to this day.


We had an amazing lunch of soups and salads (oh, they were so good!). I was still eating the soup for lunch days after the shower...it was that good! People just sat around and talked and enjoyed each others company.


After lunch we played a little game of "True or False" about Anna and Andrew. I think my Grandma Horn won! It was really fun to share some facts about Andrew and I that many people did not know. Like for example, Andrew and I are both math majors (nerds...I know). And believe it or not, on our first date...we played basketball!! I knew from that first date that me and this guy were really going to get along! It was really fun to see how the women would choose their answer. Most of them just followed Andrew's mom since she knows a lot about Andrew! But poor Linda (Andrew's mom) was eliminated on the question about our first date. It was a really fun game...thanks Rebecca and Colleen! After the game, it was time for gifts and once again I was overwhelmed by goodness!! So many wonderful gifts and we got some of my favorite things that I registered for, I was so excited! Andrew was most excited to see the sandwich maker but I was more into our plates and cups and bedding!! I loved everything that I got and can't wait to use them all!

Thank you to all of you for coming and being a blessing in my life! Andrew and I really appreciate all that was given to us, so thank you...thank you...thank you!!! And thank you to my wonderful sisters and mother for all their hard work with putting this shower on for me! It still feels strange that all of this is for my wedding...craziness!!!

Well, the countdown is now in the 30's. Only five weeks till the bid day! It is coming up soon! Oh what a wonderful day that will...I can't wait!!!
