For obvious reasons I have been a little busy the last few weeks. So please pardon me as I do a bit of a catch up on all things "living the SLC life."
During my engagement I have been able to have three bridal shows/bachelorette party.
They were all so fun and different from each other and I felt so lucky to be able to celebrate so many times.
The first shower took place back in April in GH while I was home for Spring Break. It was hosted by long time family friend Debbie Farlow and it felt like the entire GH ward came. I love being around my GH ward family, my NR friends and of course my mom and Laura.
It was a beautiful shower and delicious food.
We didn't take any photos which I don't know what is wrong with me, but a friend took these.
{At first I thought this was so rude of Laura to be texting while helping me with gifts, but then I remembered she was recording who all the gifts were from..haha}
Annie & Monica threw me another shower at the end of May. They were the best for throwing me another shower with my friends and family here in Utah. I have known them for so long and they are some of my best friends and again--I felt so loved that they put in so much hard work for me!
We had breakfast for dinner and of course they went all out on the food.
I was so glad that Kelly was able to come and join in on festivities since a lot of pre-wedding stuff had happened in California. And she made the long trek down to SLC for me.
Monica had planned the game and of course had gotten in touch with Rudy to ask him some questions.
Side note--I went to a shower for Kim Jex a few months ago and they played that for her. That night Rudy and I talked about it and we practiced some of the questions. Ha! I told him that if that happened to me I wanted to be prepared.
So you would think with the practice and our four years of friendship/courtship would have made me ace the game.
Wrongo.
I folded under pressure. It was really embarrassing. But the questions were hard!!!
They gave me marshmallows to eat for every wrong questions and I was suppose to not eat them but I sneakily did anyway.
It was a great party with friends, co workers and family.
Later on that week Aubry hosted a Bachelorette Party.
Aubry went all out with a Fiesta Mexican theme.
Mocktails and chips and salsa galore.
Aubry went all out!! I loved out so much.
Last Halloween I convinced Aubry to buy a cardboard cut out of Peeta from the Hunger Games, it complimented her outfit of Katnis perfect, and since then Peeta has always been a 5th roommate of the house. He makes appearances at every party and we loved putting him in secret places to scare each other.
Why do I share this tidbit you might ask??
Because Peeta made an appearance at the party.
But as Rudy.
It was hilarious and so fitting for a party at my old house.
It was a pretty informative party--in true bachelorette fashion and then we were off to dancing.
It was a bit of a rough night trying to get into dancing but it was super fun.
I felt so lucky to have so many parties and they were all so fun and exciting.
