i have far too many photos to share of the weeks leading up to our wedding. so i thought maybe i would share the photos this way.
this was april. essentially.
lets start here. a thursday morning, i was getting up for service with my sister. i can not find my car keys so i am going to have to have my mom drop me off. {what a hassle in the morning!} i head out to my {unlocked.. im smart} car to get a few things and a car approaches me honking. it was my sister. i see alexa and rula in the back seat and i was confused. {there is a video of this whole thing.. you can see it here...} and next thing i realize is my parents standing outside my house with my overnight case.
it was planned.
i was being kidnapped.
jody comes and the whole thing is set to start. we go to breakfast first and then head on the freeway, but i have no clue where we are going. at some point i am blind folded and soon enough i see that we are at Kalahari Water Park - i had always wanted to go!
here are the photos of the best surprise i have ever had!
and if you have not gone to Kalahari before, you must! its wonderful.
the next big event was my girly shower. girls only and lots of food and some yummy drinks! i believe this was one of the most fun nights of the wedding excitement. some of my favorite ladies in one place and some dancing of course. my friend even made an owl cake for me. i mean, really?! it was so fun. my sister was the hospitable host.
the most memoriable gift was a scrapbook page from each of the ladies who came. that meant so much to me. i will keep that scrapbook forever and i look at it more often than they might expect. i have many friendships and relationships to be proud of.
this last one is pretty much just a hodgepodge of everything else. from the tigers game, getting my hair back to the color it should always be, special assembly day, anniversary party and just being with the love of my life.
april was wonderful.
