This month is crazy with wedding and baby madness, and it's not for our wedding, nor are we having kids yet.
My niece is getting married in Sept. I am her maid of honor. There's only 10 years between us, and she spent a lot of time living with us when she was little because she had an older sister who was terminally ill and in the hospital all the time. So, I'm more like her older sister than her aunt.
She had her first wedding shower with both sides of the family on Sunday. It was very nice. Pretty low-key, but still fun. She got a lot of nice stuff....I got a really good look since I had to fit it all in my car and help her haul it into her apartment.
This coming Saturday is her bachelorette party at my house. We are having a Pure Romance party. I tend to get some strange looks when I say I'm having a pure romance party for my niece, but hey, it's what she wanted. After the Pure Romance part, we're heading out to dinner at Buca di Beppo and then going bar hopping nearby.
Then the next Sunday is a double baby shower at my house for my niece and my nephew's wife, who are both expecting.
I am nervous to see what the 2-3 months leading up to our wedding are going to look like if I'm this busy with other people's events. But, at least I shouldn't be hosting many parties when it comes our time next spring.
