Two showers un one month, but I don't even smell!! (Wait, be maybe I do...)

So, I think that I have finally been able to process the last part of our very busy weekend.  So, if you have been paying attention, the schedule for the weekend was Bachelor party on Friday, Wedding on Saturday, and I thought sleep and recover and relax on Sunday.  Then Grandma called.  My grandma is an amazing woman and an amazing seamstress.  She will be making the veil for my wedding day and on Saturday she asked if I could come down on Sunday afternoon and help her figure out things she needed to get started.  (length, what netting and beads I liked...) Since this didn't fit into my relax on Sunday plan, I suggested we meet on Monday after school.  That was not going to work for Grandma, she needed to get started now!  Well, I can't really argue with Grandma, so I agreed. 

So, when I arrive at my Grandmas (in jeans and a polo shirt) and she opens the door, I suddenly knew that this wasn't really about a veil.  I could see Josh standing in my grandma's kitchen in the reflection of a mirror in my grandma's house.  And I thought cops were always aware of their sight lines... 

After that, the day was filled with one surprise after another!  A group of people were there to surprise me at my Grandma's house, my mom had clothes for me to wear, so that I didn't have to continue on in the jeans and polo, there were a ton more people waiting for me at the clubhouse of my grandma's complex.  Even my Aunt Maryanne and cousin Kait had flown in all the way from New York to be there!  The rest of the day was kind of a blur and it has taken until two weeks later to remember all the details. 

There was an ice cream theme to my shower, complete with ice cream bar (which included NERDS!!  my favorite!!).  Every detail was absolutely perfect.  There were more pictures of me eating ice cream than I knew existed decorating the room, an ice cream crossword to see how much people knew about Josh and I, ice cream flavored Jelly Bellies (from the Kenosha Jelly Belly factory), and a game with ice cream cone head pictures on Josh and I.  I know that every member of my family, especially my mom, my Aunts Nancy and Shelley, my sister-in-law Lynne, and my cousins Sara (and baby Elaina!) and Kalli, did a tremendous amount of work to make this day special for me and they definitely got every detail exactly right.  It was a wonderful day that is still just sinking in. 

Thanks to everyone who was there to celebrate with Josh and I and thanks for all the wonderful presents.  It was great to get a chance to see everyone, even if I didn't feel like I had enough time to see or talk to anyone in particular.  I was truly surprised I hope everyone had as much fun as I did!
