On Saturday, our friends, Kim, Archilene and Natalie came over to the house and we worked on wedding projects until we were blue in the face. We got a lot done! I feel like a load has been lifted. We had such good times and laughter. It makes working on those projects more bearable when you have such good friends to help you.
A week or so ago, Joseph said that he wanted to take me some where special on Saturday night and that it was a surprise. This past Friday I asked him what I should wear...showed him a couple of things and picked out a red, black and white polka dot dress. So Saturday night at 6:30 he picked me up and when we got in the car he put a blind fold on me. He had never done that before, but he's always trying different things to surprise me, so I didn't think it too out of the ordinary. So as we start driving, I said, maybe I can keep up with him by the turns. Well by the 6th or 7th turn I was lost and so I gave up. By the time we got to our destination, I thought we were in Dallas...we had driven so long. He told me I couldn't take the blind fold off yet and he came around to my door and helped me get out of the car and then walked me to the door. I remember thinking it is so quiet out here, where could we be in Dallas that is so quiet. So we get in the door and he takes the blind fold off and all of my good friends are there and they scream SURPRISE! I was thinking to myself...it's not my birthday...why are they throwing me a surprise party. Then someone said it's my lingerie shower....oh, now it makes sense.
We had chicken Alfredo for dinner (my fav)! Mrs. Beard made a cake with a bra and panties on it and she used snow balls as the boobs (very cute)! Everything was decorated in red, black and white - so my dress matched perfectly. Plus, the dress I wore I had bought to wear at the Bridal Luncheon, but I found another dress for that...so this one I hadn't planned on wearing to any shower - so I wasn't repeating an outfit...which I was very pleased about!
Joseph stayed for dinner and then after that he left. We played the game where you have to dress someone up in toilet paper so we did that and 4 of us were judged on the job done and our runway walk. My mom, Archilene and Kim won. It was great fun. After that I had to open certain presents as a poem was being read and the poem told me which present to open. Then we had a belly dancer performed which was quite interesting and then she taught us some belly dancing moves -- so much laughing! After that we had cake and raspberry sherbet punch! --- mmmm also my fav! Then I opened more presents. I got so much...I don't think I'm going to have enough days in HI to wear them all! Some were very sexy and some were very comfy! That was about it. We had a very good time! We laughed A LOT and just had good womanly fellowship!
Sunday was a lazy day. Mom and I went to a meeting for Daniel's camp and then to Wal-Mart to scan in some pictures onto a CD for the slide show. Then to home where we watched the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice which is very long and took most of the day to watch. We worked on some laundry and then when Daniel got home from work we went and bought dad an edger for Father's day. I'm sure he will be over joyed.
Not much else to report! I had a really good weekend! It is now 2 weeks until wedding week!
