my shower was today - it was awesome. It was at Caffe on the Green in Bayside - the place is so pretty and the staff there was literally awesome. I cannot rave enough about the maitre'd and the waiters - one of the waitresses went out of her to get us coffee b/c we were too busy doing gifts and missed it; the maitre d and all the waiters helped us bring stuff out to the car; so nice.
My sisters did an AMAZING job; they were so creative and put everything together so well... they compiled a ton of pictures of me and FH from when we were babies to now and put a slideshow together set to music. I was bawling, and FH's mom and his whole family was crying because his dad passed away 3 years ago.... it was really emotional but really amazing. I got some great gifts but really I was just happy to see everyone and the day overall was great; emotional but awesome. Now I am home b/c fh went out with his friend and i have work to do but I'm a little down from the high of the day so I thought I'd post some pics.
me and my mom
me and my nieces (FGs)
started to get emotional again.... this is all my stuff from italy that has been saved; a lot of which my grandmothers made for me... I missed them today a lot
my sister bought me all my crystal
fun lingerie - funny b/c it's from my mom and my sister told me my mom refused to buy me thongs even though that's what i usually wear.... and they filled up a cardbox - now i don't need to buy one ha ha
friends
me, my sisters and nieces
me and FMIL

Re: Shower today!! lots of pics
OMG i forgot - my dad stayed for the whole thing (in a separate room with other men) and he got a little drunk and he started talking japanese and bowing while he was taking pictures!! I was like DAD - we were all laughing - he wouldn't stop and we just wanted to be done taking pics. He worked for a japanese company for like 25 years, so he picked some up i guess!
