weekend...

talk about busy weekend! took a vacation day last friday to do more wedding stuff and help mom prepare for saturday's bridal shower. we also met with the photographer to select the photo for our engagement portrait.

saturday was my bridal shower. i had sooooo much fun. the party was planned by my lovely bridesmaids, who did a phenomenal job with setup and the games. when i walked into my parents' house, they were putting up the pink and white streamers, i could see the food prepared on the table (thanks mom!), and the glorious cupcakes waiting for people to start devouring them (woohoo yazzie!). the games were hilarious...haha, the "how well do you know michelle?" stumped everyone. yes, people, i am a closed book. i think my mom got two answers right out of 14 questions. GEEPIS! second game was a scavenger hunt. there were some random items in there...but thanks to the efforts of the pitogohin clan, judy walked away with the prize by having 19 out of 20 items! final game was the "dress the bride". OMG. my girls were awesome. they allowed themselves to be the guinea pigs and get all dolled up with toilet paper and makeup. yes makeup. wow. we had some interesting looks. oh, and of course there was the battle of the clothespins. it looked like cristalle would take the prize, but ate viv caught her off-guard and she dominated all competition. and have i mentioned the food? especially yazzie's cupcakes and cake? soooooo good. she totally needs to start taking catering orders. yaz, do you have business cards?

so a BIG thank you to everyone who helped plan the shower, and another BIG thank you to everyone who attended. the party wouldn't have been as fun if you all didn't attend, and i thank you for taking the time to come celebrate with me. :-)

sunday was quieter. francis and i met with our wedding coordinator and we worked out kinks in the itinerary and timeline. hopefully our vendors can accommodate this newer schedule, as we have to tack on an extra hour each for photographer and limo. but we're still in flux right now...so we'll refine it as we get confirmation from everyone.

19 days people....19! we're in the teens now!
