The days are zipping by~just a little over 2 months left till the wedding!
Several weeks ago, my mom, sister, and neice gave Amy a Bridal Shower. Most of our family was able to be there, Austins Mom, Tammy and a cousin were here from Alabama, plus 5 special ladies who have known Amy since birth (2 of them have known me since I was born!).
They planned a Saturday morning brunch, and all the food was delicious. Then came the fun of opening gifts...to say she was blessed and overwhelmed would both be understatements. These sweet ladies were generous and loving to my daughter, bride to be.

| Amy loves antique glassware ~ I found this antique Pyrex set in MS~I can't find a picture of it but Tammy got her a pink depression glass platter that has "Give us this day, our daily bread" embossed on it~ |
We did a mini shower the night before ~ Austin got shower gifts...from granny a huge roll of duct tape~cause duct tape fixes everything, and from us a set of barbeque tools and hotdog/marshmallow roasting sticks. Austins folks also gave them many of the dishes they had registered for at Belks. In the middle of those boxes was a kinda small flat packing box. When they opened it it had a Noritake China serving plate in white with light blue border....something they had not registered for. When they found the card ~ it was a gift from Belks for doing a Bridal registry with them! Sweet!!!!!

Their dishes are stoneware in taupe, light blue and turquoise. They registered for 4 placesettings of each color so they can mix and match on the table. She has gone back and registered for the white ones, they just came out with.
The Bridal registries are fun to fill out ~ her wish lists on each on has inexpensive items (little kitchen gadgets), practical items (laundry hamper, towels, shower curtain, etc.), and lots of kitchen electronic items! They have already been tremendously blessed and they just keep coming! They have 2 more showers before the wedding!
Thankful for ~

good fun & fellowship
helping Amy get her house ready
anticipation
