showers and shae

Two of my favorite people are starting new adventures in their lives so I flew to Utah last weekend to celebrate with them. My friend Britni is getting married in May and unfortunately I won't be able to make it home and my other friend Michelle is having a baby in June, so we coordinated our schedules so that we all could go home at the same time to throw both of them showers.

I flew in Wednesday night and spent some time with family and then got ready for Britni's wild bridal shower on Friday. Michelle flew in Thursday night so Friday was spent all day preparing for the shower. Michelle's sweet mother-in-law let us take over her beautiful new home for the shower and it turned out so nice.

We had wonderful food and Michelle made the cutest favors but my favorite part of the night was spent chatting with old friends that I haven't seen for years. Some of us joked that it was our 6 year class reunion and there were a couple of people there that I hadn't seen in about that long. After showering Britni with gifts a few of us went back to her parents house so see her beautiful wedding dress. She is going to be the prettiest bride and I'm so sad that I won't be there to celebrate her special day.

The next morning it was Michelle's turn to be showered. We all met at Britni's apartment for a wonderful baby shower brunch. Once again, I had such a nice time visiting with old friends and talking baby talk. Michelle looked so cute with her Little belly and I can't wait to see baby Hutchison.

The rest of the weekend was spent with family. I had such a nice time visiting with everyone and playing with Shae. She is sooo cute. She talks so much and runs around a million miles an hour. She is talking so much, my favorite was when her dad would pull in the driveway and she would immediately start saying "hi daddy", while I was there she learned how to say "piggy" and she loved the way it sounded when she said it so she would say it and then laugh. I loved that she wasn't shy with me and would come right to me when I wanted to hold her. I'm so excited that we get to see her again next month and I can't wait to see how she has changed.

It was so nice to see family and friends and even though it was a short trip it was so worth it to see everyone.
