Showers
We had three very lovely showers!!! (Lovely seems an appropriate word for showers, doesn’t it??) I have given several showers for friends in the past, but it is a lot different being on the receiving side! I had a great time at all of them and I hope everyone else did as well!
The first one was held August 21st at Elaine’s house. She was a hostess along with all my other bridesmaids! This shower was mostly for all my friends and coworkers and we had a lot of fun! They played a great game there – my mother brought about a dozen pictures of me throughout my life and they got passed around the room and everyone had to guess my age or the year! They also asked a lot of questions about me – to see how well my friends knew me!!! I think my sister won that one!
Our second shower was held on August 22nd – yeah, it was a busy weekend! This one was for Michael’s side of the family. His two aunts were the hostesses, but they had a lot of help, too! It went really well and Michael came for the last half of this one. I got introduced to so many people that day that it made my head spin!!! I just hope when I see them again they don’t think I am rude if I cannot recall all their names!!!! I think we got almost everything we registered for that had to do wtih camping at this shower and Michael’s mother made a great of his life, too.Our last shower was held September 11th in Broaddus. This one was thrown by my two sisters, my two nieces (who are bridesmaids), my aunt, and a lady that I have known all my life. It was held in our home church in Broaddus that I grew up in. Michael stayed through all of this one and I am glad he did…it was a lot more entertaining that way! Hailey asked me a lot of questions about Michael and if I got them wrong I had to chew a piece of bubblegum – big pieces of bubble gum. I think I only missed about six, but I had a mouthful of gum!!! I guess I deserved that one b/c I did the same thing to her at her shower! But what wasn’t as deserved was what she did to me when I first came in!!!! She had laid out all possible ingredients for a scratch cake and in five minutes I had to put together a cake and get it in the oven without a recipe!!!! I was so nervous – but it was a great shower game. I cannot wait to use it on someone else!!! Ha Ha Ha! (Good one Hailey!) Not only did I have to bake it, though – Michael and I had to taste it!” Honestly, it wasn’t terrible. It was more like a sweet biscuit though than a cake!
All three of our showers were a lot of fun and Michael and I have more than enough to set up house, that’s for sure!
Thank you so much to all of the hostesses – you all did a great job and Michael and I really appreciate it!
