So I'll show you some pictures from Loralee's bridal shower that Melanie, Carrie, Tamara and I threw for her. Let me just say that throwing parties is a really stressful thing for me. I like to do it but it stresses me out, especially if I have to depend on other people. I could go into detail about how Melanie was late coming over to help me (she did help me earlier that day) with final touches. Carrie was late with the main course (which I don't care about now, just at the time it was freaking me out because we were eating first.) I spent a lot of money which I'm okay with. I wanted the party to go a certain way and I paid to get it that way. Tam spent a lot of money just on decorations which I think was a little much and could have gone toward food. I did some little extra decorations and got compliments on them that cost me $12 and labor time.
We ate first. Carrie made sloppy joe meat for us because she has easy access to a lot of meat. I found out later that she had run out of beef so she used deer or maybe elk meat for it. I didn't notice until the next day when I had leftovers that it had a gamey taste. I don't think anyone else noticed either. Then just chips and vegetable trays. The beverage was a mixture of cranberry juice and sprite which Loralee loves. We only did one game, because Loralee, as well as I am anti-game (in case any of you get a chance to throw me bridal shower.) We had vido-taped David answering questions and then Loralee had to try to match his answers. It was really fun and David is so funny so it was great entertainment. Then we opened presents.
This is what I made for her. I really like them especially the one in the middle.
This is the only naughty gift picture I will show you because she did get quite a few pieces of lingerie. It's a candy necklace bra. Nice huh. (:

Love the gift you gave her.
I'm trying to think of a reason for you to throw a party for me, but it escapes me. You are amazing.
I never did get to say it, so I will here. Good job on the shower, I thought it was great! Lots of fun and very well decorated.
A candy necklace bra, eh? That's pretty funny!
I love what you gave her. You really are amazing with your gift-giving ability.
I can't believe she's getting married in just a few days!! Wow. I'm looking forward to hearing about the wedding and seeing pictures (especially of the cake and her dress). Please tell both of them congratulations and hi from me!
Will miss you at the reunion, but am glad you're coming down a couple weeks later. :)
Cassie, I'll give you a thousand dollars if you make black and white profile pictures like you did her! What the %*#^ they're so cute!
