I feel really busy! Its a pretty cool feeling. I've had bachelorettes and showers and birthday parties and all kinds of other things happening this last week or so. Plus I'm working! Tonight I finally am sitting down and taking time to myself. However, the house is really hot because of the really beautiful (but a tad sweltering) weather we are having.
I do want to tell a little story that i hope my bride friend won't mind that I'm putting on the net. We had a bridal shower this week for a good friend of mine, and her mom did the cutest thing, and after the shower I went home and thought: "my mom would have done that!" So I need to share. Her mom told the story of the bride's life using props. She had her first little christmas outfit. Then her second one. and a sweater. and a figure skating outfit. Another sweater (with barney on it!). A picture of a house they lived in. And it kept going. I loved that her mom kept all these little things. I half expected her to hand over the baby clothes and say, "these are for your daughter when you have one" but she didn't. I think i appreciated it all the more. It also wasn't mourning the loss of her little girl. I was so impressed how it was really just a celebration of where the bride has been, to give us a glimpse into the memories she has of her daughter. Now as the MC of this wedding I really wish she had saved this little story for the wedding as it would have been super cute, but maybe the intimate atmosphere of a shower is really where we can appreciate the memories best. Thanks for getting married to my friend, and thanks for a beautiful walk down your memory lane to her mom.
