First Wedding Showers!

We headed back to Springfield the 1st weekend of May for 2 wedding showers! Yes, they are really early, but between my schedule, living in Nebraska and everyone else living in Illinois, it makes sense to have showers whenever we are home!

We started out the day at Island Bay at a shower thrown by my mom's good friends! It was absolutely wonderful, the food was GREAT and the company was perfect! I had such a nice time celebrating with my mom and her friends!!

After the shower at Island Bay, we headed to my cousin's house for yet another shower with family and my friends! We had such a nice time visiting and munching on deserts! I also had a special treat, a friend of mine who I have not seen for years and dances on cruises 8 months out of the year showed up at this shower! It was soo nice being able to catch up with her and the other girls that were able to make it to this shower!

Michigan & Florida!

We have been busy the past few weeks and know it is only going to get busier since the wedding is very quickly approaching!

Memorial Day weekend we headed to Michigan to make some more decisions about the wedding and also spend time with BOTH sets of parents and my sister, brother-in-law and beautiful nieces! We got our menu picked out, my dress tried on, the guys suits picked out, desert planned, and still managed to have plenty of time to relax and spend on the beach and at the winery! We both enjoyed the much needed weekend with our families and are looking forward to our wedding even more than we were before!!
We headed down to Orlando Florida for 2 of our great friends wedding! We had so much fun celebrating Clint and Marcella! It was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL wedding and an awesome weekend! We met a lot of great new people and tried to keep up with the Spanish that was being spoken! Marcella's family is great and we appreciated every bit of our time with them and cannot wait to go back down and visit them!!

Doug & I at the Reception

The Beautiful Bride & Groom

This weekend we are headed back to Springfield/Jacksonville for a pre-wedding reception hosted by Doug's family and some friends of theirs - we are looking forward to it and realize this is the weekend the wedding madness is really going to begin and September is going to be here before we know it! We have a very busy next 2 months so I hope I remember to take the time to enjoy it and not get wrapped up in the craziness!

Just a cute picture of Chloe :)
