I had my shower Saturday!!

OMG my mother and SIL and everyone who helped put it together are absolutely the BEST! It was so wonderful to feel so loved by everyone that came! I had a GREAT time! I was really nervous walking in and actually felt uncomfortable being the center of attention at first, but it melted away when I saw everyone there and how much effort they put in to the whole event!

I got most of items off my registry (and NO - I didn't peek ahead of time like I so wanted to!), and a basket to pamper myself from my 6 mo. old niece! I did break down at one point while I was opening gifts when I read the note from my aunt attached to my grandmother's handkerchief for me to carry down the aisle...! It was a touching moment though, as most everyone there was from my side of the family and knew how close we were. But - my family was able to bring the party back up again ...!
