I took my Mom, Sister, and both Grandmas to Indiana for a
girls’ weekend. {Yes, that includes Neva. More on that later, maybe.} During
our rainy drive out on Friday, we ate at Bucca di Beppo. Our waitress thought
Emma and I were twins, which always leaves me a little perplexed since we look
very different…and the couple next to us tried desperately to figure out what
was up with Neva.
Anyway, we finally made it to Marta’s house…Micah, Jeremy,
and Wyatt didn’t stick around the house for too long once Emma pulled out her
nail polish! Somehow, all of us girls ended up talking for much longer than we
thought…and missed out a little sleep that night ;) It was worth it!
Saturday morning began at 4:45 am…with a rooster crowing.
Repeatedly. Did I mention this was at 4:45 in the morning??!! Literally, it’s
still dark outside at this hour. My Mom was ready to shoot this boisterous
rooster :), but we definitely laughed about this for the rest of the weekend…
My little entourage
for bridesmaid dress shopping consisted of 9 people—both of our moms, both of
my grandmas, my sister, my 2 {future} sister-in laws, and Micah’s aunt. It was
quite the crew! {Sadly, I don’t have a picture of my whole group—wish I did.} Emma
already had her bridesmaid dress, but we still needed to find dresses for Marta
and Rachel. I’ve said this before, but literally…I could not have found 3 more
different people if I had tried. These lovely ladies are each unique in their
own ways, but we were successful with our dress shopping! They all look
fabulous in their dresses…and the shoes are fabulous, too…no matter what Marta
says about them ;) Love these 3!!!
After our 2 1/2 hour dress-buying experience at David’s
Bridal, we were rather hungry, so we enjoyed a yummy lunch at Cheddar’s. It was
a good time just to chat and let everyone get to know each other…
Saturday afternoon, we all made it back to the farm. Marta
recruited some help with shower preparations, and we had a cookout that night…As
usual, there was no shortage of food! I thoroughly enjoyed my first s’more of
the entire year—it was delicious! This particular Saturday was relaxing and
just…fun!
Sunday started off with a morning at church, followed by a
pit stop at Starbuck’s…You may have noticed I titled this post “Wedding Shower
Weekend”, so I’m going to tell you about my shower now J There was yummy Mexican food,
cheesecake, brownies, and cake {oh, my!}, pink punch, lots of people, fun
games, and gifts galore. I am truly amazed at the generosity of family and
friends!
…I even got to spend some time with my favorite guy over the
weekend, too! He was *thrilled* to take all of the gifts back to his house ;)
