My Bridal Shower

Saturday, May 7th was my bridal shower...such a special day. Laurie, Ben's mom, flew all the way out from Missouri to spend the day with me and to meet my family before the week of the big day! My mom threw me a bridal tea with tea sandwiches, fruit/fondue, scones, cupcakes, and other goodies. Bree made the cupcakes for me and beautifully decorated them...she's so talented! We played a game, the ladies gave me marriage advice, and we made scrapbook pages for the day. And, of course, we closed out the day with present opening :-)

Still plenty left to do to get ready for the wedding, which is now, only 21 days away!! It's hard to believe I'll only be Megan McMahon for 21 more day and then I'll start signing my name Megan Medley! I used to always imagine what that new signature would look like one day, and to be honest, I've barely practiced at all, I've been so busy!

I guess I better get on it! I wish the school year was over because work has been really stressing me out lately. I cannot wait for it to be over, especially the grading part of work. I really need a vacation and I'm so looking forward to our honeymoon to Costa Rica (as well as our trip to Missouri)!

So many fun things ahead...this weekend Ben took me out to celebrate my 27th birthday. On Friday, we went to Addagio's Italian Restaurant on Ventura Blvd...yummy food but my favorite part was the Mango Creme Brule for dessert! Today we went to the Huntington Library and then saw Bridesmaids in the theaters. He has to work all this week (including my actual bday), so we celebrated ahead of time. This coming Saturday some of my girls will be taking me to Happy Hour at Flemming's to celebrate the upcoming wedding/my bday...defintly a lot of exciting moments ahead!!
