There were showers outside and inside!! (with pics & a surprise)

So today after much drama, tears and BS, I finally had my shower. It was a small group, maybe 20 people, but I still felt the love from everyone. I must say I am still not used to being the center of attention like that!! I have to get used to the flashes of cameras going off like paparazzi!!

I managed to escape without being put through the hat of bows, and instead had a bo-k of bows. I also escaped having a bridal gown of toilet paper made onto me!!

Andrew and I were grateful for the utter generosity of everyone, including some people that were not even that close to us!!

To my 06 girls (and Ron): You guys shocked me the most of all. I think my reaction (caught on videotape by Darlene) pretty much said it all. I was stunned beyond words. Rarely can anyone catch me speechless, and you guys pulled it off. I am still stunned by all of your extreme generosity, and I will never forget that. You all have very lucky men, and I can only hope to repay this tremendous debt tenfold!!! If you guys ever need me for anything, you know where to reach me. Thank you all a million times over!!!!!

Side note to Ron: I forgive you for going in and deleting my incoming FMs, but you did miss about 4 or 5 of them!!! What can I say?? That was really amazing of you to help them out. Can't wait to see you and Liz on the 30th so I can give you guys a hug!!!
