Wedding Shower

“Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.”


Last night I attended Mary's wedding shower!!! I can't believe the time is ticking down to her and Richard actually getting married! It was a nice shower and she received many nice gifts. We also had a lot of fun! I just can't believe that she is actually getting married, and the closer it gets to the day the more I still can't believe it is actually happening. Yet, time doesn't stand still and last night was another little reminder, so to speak, that yes she is getting married!
I have been very grateful for Mary's friendship since she moved here to Country Life. We have been able to be there for each other through a lot of things this year and we've had a lot of good times as well. I hate shopping by myself and so I would often invite Mary to come with me and usually my brother Ben would come along with us as well. I remember one really nice warm day after work inviting Ben and Mary to go to the beach and we hung out at the beach until sun set. Those are great memories!!!! Then once Richard and Mary got engaged, Mary and I hit bridal shops! We had fun! The last dress she tried on was the dress she decided to buy. We talked about it and thought and talked some more about it. Two girls making the decision seemed almost overwhelming but in the end she decided to go for it and it was elating to finally take the dress out the door!!!
I wish you all the best Mary as you are preparing to enter a new phase in life! 16 days till the wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
