Alright People, Happy Thoughts!!!

For the next 45 days I'm going to focus on the positive. I'm going to do what I can with what I have. And it's going to be amazing. Take that, stress monster!

First off - Did I completely forget to post about my bridal shower/bachelorette party weekend extravaganza?? Tsk tsk! Let's go there now, shall we? It was A.MAZ.ING. I can remember at least 4 or 5 distinct moments where I had to take a minute to pause because I felt so overwhelming loved and blessed and happy. It really just doesn't get any better than that. :)

Ok, Friday night. The girls flew in from all over the freakin place and we converged on my friend Stephanie's apartment. It's been entirely too long since I've had a slumber party!


With my BFF, Kim, from New York

Rocking the tiara


Phallic Play-Doh... the night went mostly down hill from here.


Then came Saturday! My Bridal Shower!!!!!

So much amazing food!!!


I was pretty excited about the edible arrangement.


Love these ladies


Concentrating hard on a shower game


Cake!! Strawberry shortcake - my favorite!!


My first shower present - fancy placemats for all of the Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners I'll someday serve.

Anything with my new "H" initial on it makes me all weepy :)
