Pink Showers and Lemon Drop Shots

So this weekend was wild, crazy, and fantastic! First on Saturday was my bridal shower!! I had been looking forward to my bridal shower for sooo long, so when the day finally arrived, I couldn't believe it. My bridesmaids planned everything, with help here and there from my mom and fiance, and everything turned out perfectly :) We played 3 games, all of which were unique and I hadn't played at a bridal shower before.... For the first one, Heather put out 10 pictures of me at all different ages (including my "Awkward Stage"... thanks Heather), and everyone had to guess how old I was in each pic. Then, Holly did a game that was like Scattegories, and it was really fun. Lastly, we did a "Newlywed" style game... Heather had video-taped Jose answering questions about us, and I had to guess his answers. It was really fun, and everyone was so impressed!! I only got 11 out of 20 questions right though.... Or maybe I should say Jose got 9 out of 20 WRONG! Haha ;)

The bridal party: Holly, Ashley, me, Robyn, Heather, Jenn and HelenI was so happy that so many people came, and I got some really great gifts, which I am so grateful for! It couldn't have turned out better :)

After the shower, we all went home and took naps, and later that night it was time for us to go out to celebrate Holly's 25th birthday, which was on 7/16. We went to this really fun bar in Berkeley called Thalassa...

Robyn had come up for my bridal shower, so it was sooo great to be able to go out with all the girls, and have everyone be together... When we all get together it's pure madness and I love it!

Sunday I got to just relax and hang out with Robyn and Jose, and then Jose and I went to his dad's house for dinner.... All and all it was a very fun and memorable weekend!! This coming weekend is my bachelorette party here in the Bay Area, hosted by Jenn... No doubt it will be another crazy night, with lots of fun pics!! For now, I have to get back to work on planning the wedding.... Only 3 1/2 more weeks to go!

XOXO,
Nikki
