I spent yesterday afternoon folding and snipping the ends off more than 100 tissue paper flowers (still have another 15 to 20 to go tonight) to get ready for my decorations/favor get together with friends on Saturday who are graciously helping me knock them out.
So in the spirt of something fun and happy -- I sooo need that right now -- what is the one (or two) things that have surprised you in a good way in the last few weeks?
For me, it has to be my sister-in-law and stepmom. They sat me down Tuesday and started planning my bridal shower and then talking about what they needed to do to make things easier for me in the next month before the wedding, like filling our favor boxes with the chocolate rocks and goldfish crackers and making the chocolate fish molds for the cupcake toppers. Both are taking over the DOC role - and are making lasagnas for our RD. My stepmom told me that she is so glad I'm willing to let her be involved because to her, this is her only daughter's wedding. (She has two boys in addition to my brother and I) Quite the amazing lady. She has walked the fine line between being helpful and understanding and recognizing how hard this is for me to do without my own mother around (passed away in 2000) to celebrate and help me out.
And the other surprising thing .. FI can rock a tissue paper flower! He sat down and started pulling the tissue paper up last night in one of the half done ones just to show me he could do it. It came out as good as mine! Now if I could just get him to do that instead of playing whatever game of the minute he is involved in on his Xbox... LOL
