they showered us with love

the game plan was initially to write on this blog after we got married..

..but i thought posting a little about our showers would be great

maybe even a few pictures, why not?

..the wedding is five short weeks away..

yes, im sure i counted correctly

there is so much to do still

..but it will all work out

just like it always does..

hey, here's a fun fact:

2.3 million couples wed each year in the united states

that breaks down to nearly 6,200 weddings a day!

just imagine all of the money floating around

that's insane!

how many brides are getting ready for their big day at this exact second in time?

or having a nervous breakdown for that matter?

i pray both me and garrett make it to the preacher without fainting

so i just had to throw that out there

no pressure here!

the cake in our wedding colors

he was a little excited

loading up

my sister, mama and me

we had our first shower on the twenty-nineth of april

& it is amazing how giving and loving friends and family are

during such a special time

his mom told the old wise tale that i had never heard which is:

each time you have to cut a ribbon from a gift you make a baby

needless to say i made a lot of babies!

we were given all kinds of goodies

from crystal pitchers to kitchen appliances..

bakeware sets, silverware, pyrex glass containers..

the list goes on and on

i would stop and breath thinking i had finally reached our last gift

and another one would be in my lap before i could look down!

-we are very blessed-

but the shower giving isn't over

our next shower is in just a few days!

in my attempt to get ahead of myself
i have been slowly boxing up odds and ends
so that maybe the moving process won't be so bad
so far i have a count of ten boxes
..but before your eyes pop out your noggin'..
only two of them are clothes related
pretty good for a girl, right?
the other boxes are full of home decor' items
comforters, pillows, books..
i thought this plan would make my room look less cluttered
but it really hasn't
i am surrounded by brown boxes
all distinguishly labeled with a good ole sharpie
