California…there and back

Did you miss me? I just returned from my trip home to California. And it was wonderful…and stressful…and overwhelming…and fun. Guess who had to extend her trip by one extra day because there was just too much to do? Yep. That was me…big fat airline fine and all. I was originally scheduled to fly in Tuesday night and leave Sunday morning. On Saturday evening my mom and I were close to a break down and had no desire to work through the night so we decided to change my flight so I could leave Monday instead. It was totally worth it.

I had a good time in California catching up with friends I haven’t seen in way too long, shopping for gifts and wedding jewelry, and making invitations (the invitations were what nearly drove us to insanity).

I’ll post some pictures of my wonderful bridal shower hosted by my Aunt Donna and my maid of honor, e, as soon as I unpack and get myself organized. It finally hit me that there are less than 8 weeks until “I Do”….talk about overwhelming! There is sooo much to do. Luckily my mom is coming out here to Michigan next week to help me!

    We had a great time while you were in CA…I enjoyed every minute, even the double sided tape and all those bows to be tied! You are awesome and I am so proud of you.
    Love,
    Mom

Did you have them learn to spell and write their full name, or their nickname? (her new preferred nickname is “Ellie” in case you were wondering! Annabelle —> Belle —> Bellie-Boo —> Bellie —> Ellie)
