Just Stuff

Where does the time go? It's been a while since I've blogged, mainly because we've been pretty busy, and partly because I haven't come across anything interesting to write about.

We're counting down the days...13 days, 19 hrs. and 22 minutes until the ceremony and I'm getting very excited. (I don't usually count down to the minute, just sometimes!)

Last weekend was my bridal shower in Hayward with my friends there. It was a nice time. We had a nice brunch and played some games and opened presents. The shower was at a park with a creek running through it. It was really pretty, and a nice day. After that we hopped on a pontoon boat on Round Lake and cruised around for the afternoon/evening. We docked at Famous Dave's (the original) for dinner-YUM!

On Wednesday a couple of girls at work threw me a shower over the lunch hour. That was a nice time too, and everyone was invited. I got a lot of nice gifts off of my registry, but several people went together and got me a wonderful gift--they got me a gift certificate for the shop that was doing the alterations on my dress. THAT was awesome! What a relief to not have to worry about that expense.

Today Cait and I are going to a bridal shower for a dear friend, Nikki. She is one of my bridesmaids. Caitlin and I are both in her wedding on October 7. Last night I got a steal of a deal on her gift at Target. She wanted these pillows that were $24.99 EACH. Fancy throw pillows, huh? Anyways, we printed off her registry and they were listed at $6.24 each. They were on clearance. I was determined to find those pillows!! We finally did, and there were two of them, just like she wanted.

And so, I'm off to get laundry going and run to the store. I'm making snickers salad for the shower today. Deeeelish! :)

Have a super Saturday!!

Showers are so much fun, aren't they!! Just one step closer to THE BIG DAY! Boy, it's really getting close now. Now much left to do until right before, huh? Is most of the clan supposed to be there?
