Bridal shower and more

Ola!
I'm so tired right now so I'm going to post pictures and that's about it. First though, wanted to let you all know that we got approved for a green card - yay! Appointment went fairly well and we obviously got the outcome we were looking for.

Chicago was BUSY. I am soooooooooooo looking forward to the three day weekend. No Rich! :) I have wedding invitations on my mind and my goal is to be DONE with them come Sunday. DONE. done. Done. DONE. :) I'm excited for it. Anyway, here are some pictures from the shower.

At the shower with Aunt Sharon (Rich's Dad's sister) and her daughter Felicia.




The shower was at a tea-house. Very proper but uber cute. We got mini sandwiches.





Grandma Eleanor wasn't feeling well but I was so honored to have her present. She is Rich's Mum's Mum.







Opening up a card.















Everybody!

Aren't bridal showers the best? It's always nerve wracking how everyone's there for you, but so great to be showered with all that love and presents! Looks like you had a great time. Love the dress by the way!

I am glad that you had such a memorable and happy time with Rich's family in Chicago. Hope to hear more details soon.

All Thanks and Praise to God for the green card approval.
