My mom and I loaded up the car this morning with all kinds of shower essentials and journeyed south to Birmingham to help host a bridal shower for my sorority sister and good friend Melissa. The shower was at Terra's house. The decorations and hot pink & brown color scheme turned out fantastic. Terra showed that she's the hostess with the mostess, pulling off cleaning and setting everything up with twin boys in the oven!
How wonderful it is to be able to participate in such a wonderful season of life! It was Melissa's very first shower. And, oh I could just feel her excitement and reflect on such wonderful shower memories of my own. You just can't help but feel love from all your friends that go back 12 years already. Friends that travel from far away to help celebrate in your moment....yes, Rebecca traveled from Oregon with her baby bump! Speaking of bumps, something's in the water. Tis the season of weddings and babies. It was a reunion of rich friendships that's for sure. You scan the room and all 15 girls share a history that's close like family, and then you remember just how geographically distant everyone actually is!!
Now bride to be Melissa has hosted some fabulos-o showers in her day, so there was some pressure to lead a game up to her ah-humm... par, if you will. Anna Mac pulled it all off with spunk as we conducted our own interview with the groom before the shower. Melissa proceeded to show us how well she knew her groom. I must add, that she aced the test with flying colors and has been approved to visit the chapel in February.
Congratulations! We're counting down the days to your wedded bliss. We couldn't be happier with your groom...you make the perfect pair!
