The Wedding Shower

 On the day of Linda's wedding shower there was a Nor-easter in our area. It was pouring rain. I had to go grocery shopping in the morning and on the way, I was cracking myself up thinking about how it was showering on Linda's shower day. I had to call Linda and tell her...it's just her kind of humor. As for me, I don't get out much!

 Laura's idea was to use our wedding dresses for decoration. Driving up it looked like a bridal boutique. I thought maybe Dad would appreciate his investments being "used" again. He didn't really care and quickly left the house! =) It was fun anyway.

Janell's

Mine.

Mom's (Made by her Mother. Mom had to really talk to get a veil. The veil is lace and is longer than her dress.)

Gramma's (Made by her Aunt. It is a cape dress.)

 Aliza wanted to give Linda a present. Her Lalaloopsy obsession has become matching a doll to each person's personality. Aliza decided to give Linda Cinder Slippers and Prince Handsome. It was a most heartfelt gift. Aliza told me this gift was really hard to give because she wanted to keep it.
 My sisters, Mom, and Aliza
 This wasn't in the original plan, but we put our wedding dresses on. Janell, bless her heart, was such a good sport. She just had a baby and her dress is a contour style that was absolutely stunning on her. She's using her train to cover up. Me? Well, I couldn't breathe. At.All. It took some time to recover after taking it off! Mom. I zipped hers right up. Meghan. She was glad she is pregnant!
Today I helped carry boxes out of Linda's room so she can move to PA. Aliza caught on that Linda is moving and she was feeling very sad for Linda. She thinks Linda will miss us a lot! We will miss her. Linda is too happy to think about missing us yet. We are sending her off with lots of love and shower blessings.

I actually have thought already about missing all of you. Just so you know. Love you.
