Exactly 4 months before the wedding our BC family threw Aubrey another surprise shower. This one without the same glamorous make-up work. Instead I was lovingly decorated with the bows from all the generous gifts. You can see the shower and my final decorated state by clicking on the image below:

We also have other news that is closer to my heart, or to be more precise, stomach. We have found a bakery that doesn’t use any nuts. Blacker’s Bakery on Commonwealth Ave. will be making our wedding cake with my allergy and flavor needs in mind. I’ve lived most of my life in fear of cross-contamination at bakeries and restaurants, now I have no need to worry about the reception. And if their cake is anything like their cupcakes then I plan on being in a happy, frosting-induced coma by the end of the night.

I went home to Seattle last week for the Our Lady of Guadalupe graduation, and it seems my family and friends had other plans! They threw me a surprise bridal shower! It was so nice to see everyone - two people came all the way from Spokane (that’s a 5 hour drive for those who are not familiar with West Coast travel), many OLG staff and two of my students were there, along with close family and friends. JoBear was there too! Not only did these loverly guests shower me with gifts, but they also gave me a makeover, complete with manicure, face makeup, and hairdo. Thank you…I think.

We also have an important addition to the wedding party - Aubrey and Ryan handmade by Emily. I only have one eye and Ryan has three, but keep in mind that I was her teacher in second grade. These two are awesome and will be given a place of honor at the wedding! Thanks Emily!
