Almost Dumpster Diving

Jeffrey and Alison

No pressure... but the wedding is almost here!!!!

Four More Weeks....

I am certain no one is counting more than Jeffrey and Alison.

This week, I am hosting a Bridal Shower for Alison.

I am so excited! More than so excited...totally excited!!!!!

Whenever I prepare for an event...there are stories from behind the scenes....

This shower is proving to be no exception

I have a funny story about diving in one of those large bins at Wal Mart on Saturday while on the hunt for the perfect decoration supplies for Alison's shower. I don't want to spoil the surprise for Alison, so I will have to post the details of which candy I was specifically searching for. It was a certain kind and color of candy I was on the hunt for... Just picture me working my way to the bottom of one of those huge bins they put DVD's and Movie Candy Boxes in...yep, what I was after was on the very bottom... and I drew a crowd as I searched. First people talked to me like I was an employee there (never) and then they either looked at me like I was crazy or started to help me work my way to the bottom of the pile!!! Mission accomplished! I have my boxes of that certain candy with the certain color! They will look totally great!

This was my version of dumpster diving!!!!

I host lots of showers, parties, etc., but never get to do so for a family member!

I want this to be so special for Alison!!!!

Next weekend, I will report with pictures and details!!!!

This is one of Jeffrey and Alison's engagement photos. Their photographer, Devynn Bohn did an awesome job with their engagement photos. She took them all over the golf course in our back yard and got some amazing shots. To see all of the photos or to contact her for your own photo shoot, click HERE. I highly recommend her work!

Now.... here it is four weeks to go and I have NO CLUE what I, the mother of the groom, will wear to this exciting occasion. Yes, me, the plan-ahead-cover-every-detail queen. A serious day of dress/skirt shopping will pay dividends, I just have to find time for that serious day of shopping.

Speaking of shopping on Saturday... I was in Target, Wal Mart, Michaels, Costco, Barnes and Noble, Linens and Things, Circuit City, and Panera Bread...

all on the hunt for Bridal Shower Supplies...

Have you every shopped on the Saturday before Mother's Day???? Oh...My!!!

The stores are crawling with MEN shopping with CHILDREN. It is fun to watch them and listen to their conversations!!!!
