This is my Life: Showered

On Saturday, I had my second bridal shower. I can't put into words what this shower meant to me. I was in a room with all of the girls who have been in my life for the past 8 years in Raleigh. I cried at the beginning and the end. What's new? This moment was special for many reasons. I realized just how important friendships truly are. I was reminded of how the Lord brought all of those friendships about. I was reminded of His goodness and timing in bringing Jeremy into my life. I was reminded of His grace and blessing. I realized how loved I am by so many people in my life. That, my friends, is a hard reality to grasp.

I failed to take as many pictures as I would have liked, but these are a few moments that were captured. Mrs. Kathy and Lane did a wonderful job - I was so excited the Southern girl's breakfast of champions was included on the menu - Cheese grits!

Side note: Y'all I am loving this dress. Loving it.

My facial expression in this cracks me up. Because clearly Amanda was all about her story. It looks as if I am not - but 9 times out of 10 I find her funny. So I'm sure I was enjoying whatever she was saying.
