My cute friend Kelsie Cook Yeoman decided to plan a fun bridal shower with all of our friends from our previous singles ward, as well as any other random friends I wanted to invite. I'm not going to lie, I was nervous about people actually showing up for me. I know I have many friends, and I love them. I guess I just didn't picture a bunch of girls taking a night away from their lives to come be with me and celebrate Bryan and I. Well, I shouldn't have been nervous!
I arrived at the party and all down the street were cars parked for the shower! I walked in and saw some of my very favorite faces. The place was decorated and cute, the food was darling and everyone was SO sweet. All of the people that were there have been there for me for the last few years, and I'm so grateful Heavenly Father placed them in my life because I know they will be lifelong friends. The list of people whom were in attendance was McCal Takos, Kelsie Yeoman, Katie Berry Tall, Kayla Jacobsen, Lacey Edwards, Angela Thomas, Cassie Marshall, Linsey Pickup, Jessica Atkinson Campbell, Callie Varner, Breana Linton, Meagan Reginio, Sister Diane Bartlome, Sister Debbie Kakola and Sister Janel Frost! How amazing are they?!?! Seriously, all of them are dolls.
Kelsie had set up this milk and cookie bar with darling glass milk jars, platters with cookies, pictures of Bryan and I, balloons ah. SO cute. She also had everyone write little "love notes" for Bryan and I and hung them with clothes line pins over the gifts. Kayla talked to Bryan and asked him a series of questions for me to answer and if I was wrong on any I had to stick a big fat piece of bubble gum in my mouth. I think I did pretty well at that game! My favorite was her question of "When did Bryan know he loved you?"... I just sat there. I had NO idea. I know WHEN he told me he loved me, but I didn't know when he actually knew. His response was "When she made me a better missionary". I'm not gonna lie, I was getting some happy tears there.Now, the gifts. Holy cow. I've never seen so many weird games and lubricants. ha. They made me all nervous for this marriage thing. But! I did get some beautiful lingerie and some fun home essentials and gift cards! Those girls are just so sweet!
I seriously needed a night like that. I night to catch up with some amazing, amazing girls. I felt loved, and just so happy. They are just showing me how truly blessed I am. Heavenly Father really does know us. He knows who to place in our lives. He knows what we need, and WHO we need to helps us get what we need. I couldn't have asked for a better evening and shower! I wish I had gotten a picture with all of my girls. Instead, I'm just going to post some of my favs from the years I have spent with them.
