Bridal shower was yesterday....(xp)

So, FI and I had a jam packed weekend.  Friday we went and supported our Best Man at his comedy show.  That was fun.  Saturday was Pre-cana...ALL DAY (boring!!! but learned sooo much!).   Then yesterday, I thought was going to be a lazy day with some open house walk throughs and possibly an afternoon lounging at home.  Boy was I wrong.  FI had told me to call my aunt on Saturday to see if she'd be home on Sunday for lunch or a visit in the afternoon as we'd be looking at houses by her.  I had called and left a message, and of course she had called back after I had fallen asleep.  She said 2:30 would be alright.  Ok, that's cool.  

So, we did the house walk throughs and at 2:30 arrived at my Aunt's house.  I had my cousin's bridesmaid dress and one package that got sent to my house for my bridal shower which I was convinced wasn't until November.  She greeted us at the door and took the dress...to which she said I'm going to hang it up in the laundry room (which is Odd...but ok). I told her I had to go potty (I had just finished a coffee and well, I had to pee...lol).  As I followed her into the kitchen (she was a few steps ahead) I walked through the door and heard "SURPRISE!!!" I screeched and started crying.  Everyone was there.  I went around crying and hugging everyone.  I saw my sister (MOH) and I said that I thought she was working.  Nice cover.  LOL.

So needless to say, I was surprised and was UNDER dressed (jeans and a long sleeve shirt, sneakers and messy hair - no makeup).  We have a TON of stuff to go through and put away.  I don't know how we're going to do it all.

    We registered about a month after setting the date.  The reason why my sister planned it so early was because a lot of our extended family is "older" and don't want to travel in bad weather (makes perfect sense).  She was going to throw it in January/February but with NJ having odd winters, she didn't want to chance it....so October it was. :o) I'm super happy that she did it when she did.  It was definitely a COMPLETE surprise.  :o)

    So far so good.  Had gotten 3 electric frying pans and just exchanged 2 for store credit.  Got a new set of everyday glasses, dish drying rack, a spoon rest and a few other odds and ends last night.  I was hoping someone would splurge and get our china (or some of the pieces) but that didn't happen.

    Oh well.  There is always Christmas and the wedding....AGH!!! 5 months!
