Showers Galore
Our church had a home improvement shower for us last night. We had a fun time. There were 5 men there total. Ha Ha! There were about 50 people in all. We received mostly cards, money, and gift cards. We also got an amazing quilt that one of the ladies made which I had mentioned wanting when I saw one at Mr. C's sister's shower last month. :) It is fall colors which is what our wedding will be. She made it extra big so it will cover Mr. C's toes since he is 6'4".
We had a few laughs when one of the older couples, the man has Alzheimer's, was taking a moment to share some "marriage advice". The man was talking about how great marriage was and turned to ask his wife what year they had been married in and she couldn't remember either.
Another lady was giving advice and it was all too poetic. She mentioned being willing to say you are sorry, don't go to bed angry, and make love every night. A hush came over the crowd and then everyone burst into laughter. It was actually quite hilarious coming from her.
Good times!

Our wedding decor will be in fall colors and fall leaves.
The money tree and gift table was filled once people arrived.
We didn't tell my mom that she picked margarita glasses for the center pieces! Ha!
Practicing!
My man always being funny. :)
The fabulous quilt! It has our names and wedding date sewn in as well.
Listening the funny people giving their advice.
Surprise present on my desk this morning.
A toast to fun gifts,
making love every night,
and forgetting your wedding date in 50 years!!
