Family Shower

18 April 2011

EARLY Saturday morning me and mom left to get my dress. All I can say is it fits like a glove, it's beautiful, it's the dress I've dreamed about my whole life (but better) and I didn't want to take it off. I'm literally counting down the hours until I get to put it on again.

25 days!



Saturday we had our family shower. It was so much fun! It was nice to have so many close family and friends all in the same place! It was hosted by my big sister Stephanie and it was fabulous! Awesome food, great host, at a beautiful house wayyyy out in the country! :)

We got some GREAT gifts that we can't wait to put to use! Francis took some awesome pictures.

Brandon and I got to play a game. He had to take a roll of toilet paper and make what he thought my wedding dress is going to look like!





Next we had some snacks! Strawberry, Chocolate, and Vanilla cupcakes my sister made. Along with nuts, mints, and TRUFFLES!




Here is a picture of the awesome center piece Stephanie made with a collage of us!

There was one present that was tucked away for last. I was so excited for it the whole time openeing gifts. Once we got to it, I was told it was for Brandon...

Of course, I gave him the spotlight and let him open it. It was a gift from dad, specially for Brandon. It was a thing of 3 grilling tools. Brandon said he thought, "Man, salt in the wound. Your dad got us grilling tools, but we don't have a grill yet." (Not top priority in our budget.) So he's like, "Aw, thanks!" So mom's like..."Open it up!"

Well, me being a Sheppard I grew up opening gifts in oatmeal boxes, shoe boxes, all kinds of random boxes. So when she said that I was thinking, "Haha, I bet that isn't what's in theeeeere!" So, he opened up the box, and there was a picture of a grill that Brandon picked out taped on top of the grilling tools.

Then mom said, "That's sitting on your patio!"



Gotta love that dad of mine. He is awesome.



Here is my thrilled fiance with his new grill!



THANK YOU everyone who came on Saturday and for ALL of the gifts! We love you!
