27 Dresses

I'm a terrible blogger-the worst, actually. I have been so consumed with bridal duties that I have been unable to entertain you all with the random musings of my life! How have you been surviving?! Anyway, relax. Here's what's been goin' down.

This past week has been excitement level 10! I landed a full time teaching spot for next year, I celebrated my sister-in-law's bridal shower AND I was asked to be a bridesmaid in Kristen's wedding. (You may remember Kristen from my earlier blogging days. Her and I survived out first year of isle 12 together last year.) I am overwhelmed with anticipation just thinking about all of the momentous occasions coming up this September.

After hearing the news that I would be one of the lucky ones surviving the 2010 teacher massacre, I was able to relax and enjoy the jam-packed wedding weekend. On Saturday, with the help of four incredible girls, we hosted a "Love is Sweet" Bridal Shower for September Bride # 1. This theme was perfect for the bride who loves to bake.

Beginning with a "sweet" invitation, this was, by far, one of my most favorite bridal shower themes. Here is a picture of one of the tables.



The favors were heart-shaped cookie cutters attached to a recipe.



There were lots of bridal games with baking-themed prizes!



The center pieces were filled with pink and purple candies and surrounded by lollipops.



Here's me with the bride and another bridesmaid.



On Sunday Kristen, Jill and I headed to David's Bridal to pick out some bridesmaid dresses. I am looking forward to planning September Bride # 2's shower. Any theme ideas?
