April Showers Bring May Flowers

...That was the theme for the wonderful bridal shower by sister-in-law and mom cohosted for me over the weekend. We had a great time having tea at Biddie's Coach House in old Dublin and playing games that tested my knowledge of my groom to be and ability to refrain from saying the word "beautiful". I had such a great time surrounded by friends and felt truly "showered" by all their love and friendship. Everyone should have at leas one of those in their life. Thank you to everyone!
My friends from college, Mike and Katy spent the weekend with us and put up with all our questions about their pregnancy. Yay for babies.

Happy Earth Day to one and all. Try to make a little change to help the environment today if no other days. Remember that little changes on a big scale make A LOT of impact.

The weather here has been perfect and we hope that it will be nice for the wedding day. If we were still in Alaska the temps would be around 40 and there would be few signs of Spring. Of course there are oceans and mountains to miss...but still.

I have finished Water for Elephants. It was wonderful. I suggest it for anyone looking for an especially enjoyable but satisfying read. I still think about the characters days after finishing the book. You can't say that for Miley Cyrus's bra. Haha.
I am now reading My Sister's Keeper which I hear they are making a movie from. The book is wonderful and I am definitely losing sleep so I can stay up late reading it.

Pictures of the shower coming soon.
