My mom and my sisters threw a wedding shower for me last Saturday. We had it at Third Church in one of the rooms in the basement. The people that came were most of my friends, and then my mom, sisters, and 3 nieces. Here I am with my family members:
And here is the whole group. Sarah Williams couldn't make it but sent a picture, so we were sure to include the framed photo in the group picture!
We had some yummy harvest food--pumpkin whoopie pies, apple cake, cider, coffee, etc. and then played some games.
Scott had told me he had an "appointment" on Saturday morning, and I had a feeling it was something to do with the shower. I was right! He went to my parent's house on Saturday morning, and they filmed him answering some questions. Then they asked me the same questions, and if I didn't say the same answer, I had to put a piece of gum in my mouth. For every wrong answer. And they had bubblicious gum. Those are big pieces of gum!
Here I am, grabbing my first piece of gum. This isn't so bad...
But then we got to a series of questions where Scott did not give serious answers! For example, they asked what we were going to name our first son and our first daughter. We have talked about that a little, and haven't decided firmly on names, but did say that we didn't want to name our kids bisexual names that could go either way, just to avoid confusion. What does Scott answer!?!? "Well, I think if we have a son we will name him Taylor. And if we have a daughter we will name her Taylor." Of course I got that one wrong! And he gave silly answers for a couple other ones as well! I think I ended up with 7 pieces of Bubblicious in my mouth!
All in all, I thought (when Scott was being serious) that we had very similar answers and have a good relationship. :) Although I don't know what his favorite Bible verse is...
I managed to blow a bubble without drooling all over. This is only about 1/3 of the gum--i didn't want to make the bubble any bigger just in case it popped in my hair! I spit the fist sized piece of gum into the garbage can. In hindsight, we should have spit it onto a napkin and taken a pictures to truly understand the size of the wad of gum in my mouth!
Mom, Lynn, Hannah, Carrie, and Tim came over and helped clean also. Boy, you can really do a deep clean in a short amount of time with this many people! I think we got all the stuff done on my list. A special thanks to Mom for cleaning the bathrooms (my least favorite job) and to Lynn for doing the basement (my second least favorite job).
I finished making Carrie's Christmas present Saturday evening, and wrapped it. Here it is sitting on the sofa. Carrie touched it and felt that it was soft and fluffy, and immediately guessed that it was a body pillow. Boy, is she smart. Bet she doesn't know the pattern, though!

I have an open house this week on Thursday, so on Sunday we had a cleaning blitz at my house. Scott picked up all the little branches in the yard, which was a huge task!

Oh, I love body pillows. I'm addicted now, can't sleep w/o one. I had to get Matt one of his own, b/c he kept trying to take mine.
