Yesterday was our bridal shower. It turned out quite nice considering I was afraid of what I might find. In previous blogs, I've written about how Steve's mom wanted to make it into a Hawaiian luau. Our theme is seashells. As you can see, that doesn't make sense to anyone but her. She thinks it is all the same. Well, it wasn't Hawaiian, I think I can thank Aunt Lana and Candy for that... so, thanks! We had a good time though. The food was awesome!

We got lots of great gifts. More than I ever thought we would. I registered at Kohl's and before I knew it, everything on the registry was gone! I added more and a lot of that was bought as well. I just couldn't believe all the stuff we got! I was registering for stuff I thought for sure no one would buy because it was expensive and sure enough we got it. Things like luggage, memory foam mattress pad and expensive sheets.

My favorite gift was probably the memory foam mattress pad from my mom. Our mattress is a total piece of crap and its not that we can't afford a new one, it's just that our bed is a full and if we get a new mattress we want a queen set with new dressers and all that. We'll probably wait till we move for something like that though. Anyway, it feels like I am sleeping on a brand new bed now! I love it. When you put that together with our new Eegyptian cotton sheets, our new king size plush blanket and the down comforter we already had, you get the cloud of happiness! That is now how I refer to our bed. I slept like a rock last night and really didn't want to get up this morning.

We also got kitchen towels, bath towels, shower curtain, blankets, photo frames, a really nice photo album (though I can't remember who it came from), a scale (which we've been saying forever that we needed), a blender, toaster, deep fryer, a steamer... the list goes on.

The one thing that was really weird was the Victoria's Secret box from Steve's mom. Ugh. I was a teddy! And she made me hold it up for all to see. Steve's embarrassed, I'm embarrassed, not to mention it was a size 36B. LOL Keeping in mind that I actually wear a 32A and Steve's waist isnt even a 36, it's more like a 33. The panties were a medium/large. Does this lady really think I am that much bigger than I am? geesh.

But overall it turned out quite well and I got to meet my baby cousin Katelyn. She's so stinkin' adorable. Check out he pics.

Thanks everyone for coming and for the generous gifts! We love them. Also, thanks Jen and Rick for driving me and a van load of gifts home and Rick, you saved the day for Steve by saying grace. Sam and Sue, thanks for all your help as well!
