I am down in Savannah for Spring Break (yaaahooo!) and while Brian's at work, I thought I should do a little bit of catching up on my blog. :) The first weekend in April, my bridesmaids threw me the most beautiful bridal shower ever! The theme was "April Showers Bring May Flowers," and all of my girls, with my mom and Brian's mom, made the day so special!
I started out the day by enjoying some of the delicious food (like my sister's now signature
Curry Chicken Salad with croissants) and ran around to greet everyone who had come to celebrate my day!

Then, it was time to open presents! Brian and I have certainly been spoiled by our friends and family, and I can't wait to finally have somewhere to set up all of our new kitchen things! While I opened gifts, all of the guest played Bridal Shower Bingo. Before I started, they filled out their card with gifts they thought I might receive. When I opened it, they crossed it off on their Bingo card. I thought it was really cute and took some of the focus off of me while I was the center of attention, which made me much less nervous. :)

But, by far the BEST part of the whole day was celebrating with a room-full of family and friends who have supported Brian and I throughout different parts of our lives, and now as we plan our wedding. I can't believe it's been ten months since
we got engaged, and our big day is just around the corner!

It was a perfect shower, and I am so grateful for everything these ladies have done for me to make the days leading up to our wedding special and memorable. :)
(...and because I can't even believe it, here's a screen shot from the app on my phone that's been counting down the days until our wedding since we set the date. Crazy!)
