Lingerie Shower

This weekend was great! My sister, matron of honor, April hosted a Lingerie Shower in her home! Being the entertainer she is, she prepared games that were just too fun, amazing food, and a beautifully decorated home for us all. My cousin shelley, mommy of baby twins, got to escape for a bit and help april with everything. It was great seeing her and having her there! The games were halarious and it really tested my knowledge of my girlfriends there. A game where they wrote down their favorite love song and I had to guess whos was whos, and they wrote down marriage advice and I had to guess whos was whos. I did pretty well on guessing! I was proud! But the girls got tested at how well they know me too, and they all did a pretty good job! April of course had favors and prizes for the game winners that were spa related products! I got many great things from my friends, and we had a lot of fun! The company was perfect, the food was yummy, the presents were abundant, and the games were simply too much fun! As we began getting ready to head out we all came up with a creative idea. Mom made me take this extrememly long veil to wear that day. So what we did was drap it over the back end of my car and attach it in my sunroof so it wouldn't go anywhere. So on our way home my car had a very very long veil blowing in the wind. It was too funny. Usually when my friend Leslie comes in from Chatnoonga, where she lives, she has to do something with her family so we can't ever get a good long visit in. But all of her whole family was out of town this weekend. So after the shower Jenny and I went to dinner with Leslie at Cheesecake Factory, and I rememberd how much it is to eat out, and we had one last slumber party at Leslie's parents house and watched movies all night. It was simply a blast being with them! The two of them are just amazing!
Yesterday John and I worked really hard cleaning his/soon to be our house for our first party! We had Holly and Sam over for one amazing meal! John grilled pork chops and I made mac and cheese, garlic cheese potatoes, cream corn, and a home made sock it to me cake! It was a true success for food last night! We were VERY excited about that! We all had a blast! We ate dinner with great conversation, and watched a funny movie-I can't remember the title, and we played games outside. This weekend helped me rememeber that friends are certainly special blessings in my and John's life. It's so important that we have close friends that we can fellowship with and enjoy doing things with.
