Wedding Shower!

Hi Everyone! Did you miss me? I missed you!

I'm sorry I haven't posted all week. Being that this was the first week at my new job, my first week ever teaching a class, and my first (and only) wedding shower, it's been a bit crazy.

So I have to admitted, I was a little nervous about my shower. My soon-to-be mother-in-law planned the whole thing, so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, she did a beautiful job! I really couldn't have asked for a nicer shower.

  Sam's mom got us corsages, and my went on easy enough. Sam's... well not so much.

Does he look scared? Yeah, for some reason he doesn't trust me with a sharp pin by his chest; but no one was hurt in the putting on of this corsage.

Our showers was much bigger than I ever expected it to be, but I guess I should have known better. I mean we are inviting 335 people to the wedding, so I should have expected a big shower. Everyone was so generous, and I feel so bless by everyone's givings.

I love that Sam was so involved with this wedding shower. He seemed really happy to be there. However, considering he picked out more than half of the kitchen stuff we registered for, he should have been. He has already gotten into many of new kitchen gadgets. 

I feel blessed because we had people come in from out-of-town and even out of state. All my family lives out of state, so I was really happy that my cousins, grandma, and aunt were able to come. 

Also, I bet I'm one of the few girls who got to have a fire truck at her wedding shower!

One of Sam's groomsmen is a fireman, and he decided to come crash the shower- with the fire truck.

I really can't explain how excited I was to get to take pictures with the truck. I don't know, I became I little kid again and just couldn't stop smiling.

We had a great shower, and I'm now really starting to get excited for the wedding. I know it will be here before I know it, but there still a lot to do. On the top of that list- is getting out the "Thank You" notes to all the guests who made my shower so special.

Question: Do I have to hand write every note? Or could I type something up? (I really don't like my handwriting, and I want to make sure people can read the notes I send- so I'm not sure what I should do.)
