A little background: About a year ago, J had invited me to spend the day gown shopping with her. To start off our expedition, we filled up on cupcakes. That day, J found the most amazing dress and, personally, I think cupcakes played a part in that. How can you not have a good day shopping after cupcakes?! In honor of that, I decided to forgo a cake and get cupcakes for the shower.
My co-host provided an amazing spread of crab dip, shrimp cocktail, salad, salmon, hummus, etc., etc.!
I don't think anyone went home hungry!
We had to play the traditional toilet paper bride game:
The teams were determined by name tags, so from left to right, you have Disney Princesses, The Flinstones, and the cast of I Love Lucy.
The finished result:
While I don't know how she could possibly choose a winner from this group, J bestowed the honor of best T.P. bride to the Princesses.
Of course, J left the party with quite a few gifts for married life and an excellent bow bouquet, for the rehearsal, made by the co-host's daughter and J's high school friend!
The following Monday, I flew to Pullman to help S&J pack for their big cross-country move. J was accepted to the doctoral program at UNC-Chapel Hill! Woot! I am an expert packer thanks to the many times I've moved/packed (about 5 times - I lived in a different place every year of college). In between packing and cleaning, we planned a trip to the cliffs. J and I rode in S's car...it's a 2 seater, T-top...while he rode his motorcycle.
And then we spent the evening laying on the floor of Martin Stadium watching The Blind Side!
Overall, it was a productive and fun trip! I had to leave the next morning, but they finished packing and are now on their way to North Carolina. I'm currently looking into plane tickets and hoping that they find a way to drive up to D.C. to help us celebrate the Fourth of July! ::hint, hint::
