So everything is planned, paid for, assembled and ready to go. I've been trying to relax these last few days as much as possible and just enjoy everything and everyone around me. I'm still working this week til Friday so I'm trying to do as much as I can at night and on my lunch break. It's been a long road to get here. 8 1/2 months ago Brandon asked me to be his wife and now it's finally here. At times I thought it would never come. I thought people were crazy who said, "It'll be here before you know it." There always seemed something I needed to do before the wedding was here so I really didn't have time to think about how close we really were. But in 3 days from today I will be walking down that aisle to the best guy I know a saying my vows to him. I have planned and planned and now I get to sit back and let the magic unfold. The next time I blog I will be Mrs. Brandon Hughes!!!
Thank you Lord for this time in my life. Thank you for providing me a sweet and compassionate yet funny and energetic man to call my husband. Thank you for loving on us through this process and holding us in the palm of Your hand. Thank you for Your faithfulness and providing us patience and serenity.

Life is a Party!!!
So Lately I've had one event after the other. It all started with my "Holmes" Bridal shower on February 22nd, hosted by friends of my parents and my brother's wife and her family at her parents home. It was lovely!!!
All my loot, hey Leah!!!!
The next event was my "Hughes" shower, on February 28th, hosted by friends of Brandon's mom's and mothers of Brandon's groomsmen. Brandon came to this one and it was a lot of fun.
The next event was my work shower on March 6th at my office hosted by the people I work with. It was so nice of them to do this. We ate lunch and lots of dessert and I was really impressed by their decorating skills. I even got to wear a festive green feather boa. Too cute! Thanks Susie, Krista, Zach, Eric and Matt :)
This past Saturday, March 7th, I had my Lingerie Shower and Bachelorette Party. It was such a fun night. The shower was hosted at my dear friend and bridesmaid Shanda's house. We all wore black and white with teal and lime accent jewelry. We had good food including a chocolate fountain. We even had a pantie decorating contest. It was too cute. Later we all went out to the piano bar for a girls night out. I don't think it got too crazy, but it was a lot of fun.
We had three sets of sisters at the party and two sets of sister-in-laws. How sweet is that?
My lovely outfit (Don't judge, they made me wear it)
Overall I have had an exciting past few weeks. AWWW!!!! The wedding is in 11 days :)
