Well I have a bit of time to write down my NY bridal shower. Wow, was it soooo nice!!!! I had the wonderful opportunity for Jackie and her hubby Matt and Mich (and her cute belly) and her hubby Daniel to come to my shower in Queens. It wasnt a surprise since due to the fact that I had to continuously go to Philly every weekend they canceled it so many times they basically had to tell me when they were going to have it. So I wasnt surprised but then again I was! It was BEAUTIFUL. They decorated the whole thing in purple and white in a sisters backyard who I am good friends with. They had lanterns strung and a big umbrella with lights underneath it. They had balloons and candles. It was soooo classy and elegant. The sisters house is was (Aida) made us a beautiful pre-wedding cake with 2 sets of groom and bride. It was wonderful! We got some really nice things as gifts including very nice night gear from Mich and Jackie (thanks guys, love you sooooooooo much! ). Believe it or not when a speech was called for by me and Ronny I totally starting crying. I couldn't help it! It made me feel better though when I saw almost every single one of my girl friends start choking up too!!!! I love my friends so much. I don't think it really hit me till that moment how much they all mean to me and how much I'm going to miss them. The things they wrote in the cards where so heartfelt and warm. I love them all!
Oh I SO have to tell you all about this. The WEIRDEST thing happened right before we were going to eat. Aida lit some purple candles and out of no where a SWARM (no joke they were coming from everywhere-you could see the distant sky FULL of them) these HUGE dragonflies came out of nowhere!!!! It was the strangest thing Ive ever seen. I know the candles must have attracted them but where the heck did they come from? In our yard alone there were like 50!!! It was very weird but we got to eat anyways with no mishaps. The food was yummy. Then we opened the gifts, said our speech. Then a brother (same one who is DJ'ing the wedding) came to DJ the party and we danced under the strung lanterns. It was a blast!!!!! I wont ever forget that night. It was just a taste of what is to come! I cant wait for Saturday. Getting sooo excited about it. My friends are all getting dressed up and its going to be cool to see them all looking good for me.
Anyways, thats about it for now. Im totally exhausted. Just got back from another trip to Philly. Turned out that the jacket didnt fit so I drove back to Philly Saturday night with Sam. Oh yeah! She got the coolest gift for me......Still by JLo. Her newest perfume. Smells SOOOOOO good!!!!!!! And a Barry White cd. Alisa gave us a really cool gift too. Monogrammed towels with "k" on them. They are soooo soft. We got so many nice things. We have such wonderful friends.
Well, my brain is fried. I have not gone to bed earlier than 3 for about 5 nights with the except of 2 nights where I went to bed at 2:00 and 1:00 respectively. So I sit here in my pj's waiting for Ronny to get back from the store with my White Cheddar Popcorn so I can eat some and take a nap. Dont know if I'll write again before the wedding but if not......I LOVE YOU ALL AND THANKS FOR ALL YOUR LOVE AND HELP!
