Showers!!

In the past 2 weeks I have had 2 showers....they were both soooo much fun and something that I will never ever forget!!! It is so weird to have an event that is focused around you....I felt SOOOo spoiled! And the gifts....I can not believe how generous and thoughtful people are! Thank you everyone!!
The first shower was put on by my Dotzler side. We had brunch and the food was YUMMO!! Next we played some games ....one where the guest had to answer questions about me...Maria won...she must know me well =) then we played the tiolet paper bride game. This is where you are spilt into teams and you have to make a toilet paper dress...I had to pick the winner and the winner was Ann Graeve...but they were all super fantastic!! Next we opened gifts...all great. One of the neato ideas was that each guest was to bring an ornament for Brad and I ....all of the ornaments are so neat and unique, and Brad and I have enough to fill our first christmas tree next christmas!!!! Such a GOOD idea! Such a fun shower....WOWZERS!!!

The next shower was in Marcus and was given by Brads family. This shower was a come and go shower. again was a brunch .....I ate and then right away started opening gifts..the guest ate, came and went as they pleased, and watched me open gifts. Hoooly moly the gifts we got!! We got SOOOO many gifts....mostly from people I dont know ..like elder ladies in the community...how nice thO!!!! I am so happy that people in the town I am going to live are sooo nice!! The shower was so so so fun!!
Saturday afternoon and alllllll day sunday brad and I put away gift ....this took FOREVERRRR....but so worth it!!
Thanks again to everyone that hepled, came or gave a gift..Brad and I are so blessed to have such great family and friends!!

Showers!!

Some pictures from my 2 showers.......they were SOOOO much fun!! More talk on that to come =)

This past Sunday and this Saturday I had a shower. The first one was put on by my family, the Dotzler side and the second one was put on my Brads family. Both of them were absolutly amazing!! I will tell all about it but for now I am just going to post pics ... my sis wants to see them bad since she was unable to be here =(

It's setting in =)

What I mean by it's setting in is that the wedding is really getting closer then I have realized!! This past weekend was panning planning planning!! It all started on Saturday morning when I had to meet with the flower lady to pick out all of the flowers that are going to use for the wedding. after that I met my aunt Lisa and aunt Peg at the parish hall where we are having the reception and pictured what we are going to do for decorationS and really got a good visual for that. Sunday I went down to Omaha with my mom and had my dress fitted..still fits =) So.....this weekend I have a shower in Defiance that the Dotzler side is throwing for me and next Saturday I have another shower in Marcus that Brads family is throwing for me.....so basically the only thing that is on my mind is WEDDING, and that is the only thing that is going to be on my mind for the next 73 days =) GET EXCITED! This past Saturday we also had a birthday party for the wonderful Donald Keane....AKA best grandpa in the entire world. My mom and dad had all of the Keane's over and we had 4 different kinds of homemade soup AND homemade ICE CREAM......ohhhh sooooo good! My little cousin Emma who is one of my flower girls thought that it would be fun if she could spend the night with me and then go along to the dress fitting...I tell you what, for her only being 8 ( I think) she is really fun...she is so girly and a little fashionista its so funny. So, overall it was a great weekend filled with family!! I will post pictures next week from the shower!!
