Bridal Shower (and a Minor Disaster)

Good evening! Sorry I didn't post ALL day! I am obviously in a whirlwind of emotions at this point, so I'm sorry if posting isn't very regular.

 

My morning started off with a yummy platter of WW pancakes and some real maple syrup.

Plus a banana.

Then my mother, my maid of honor Sarah, and I drove to the wedding site to drop off materials for the wedding.  Sarah has never seen the site before so it was pretty exciting.

 

Here's me and my mom at the golf course.

Afterwards, we met up with Meghann and had lunch at Dandelion CommuniTea house.  It's an all vegan, hippie place that I just LOVE!

The menu is so hippie! I love it!

We started off with a hummus dip platter that the 4 of us shared.  Yum!

My entree was BBQ Tofu Quinoa and a side salad

This was actually my first quinoa experience and I loved it!

And then it was time for my Bridal Shower!!  My first Bridal Shower was a "Working" Shower, so this was my real shower.

 

I arrived at my aunt's house to a wonderful cheese and crackers spread

Everything was labeled so cutely.

She also had a bunch of Napa Valley wines to prepare me for my honeymoon!

Myself, my little cousin, my maid of honor Sarah, and Meghann.  I look so tall next to these girls, and I'm only 5 foot 4!

Then I tried on my aunt's 1990 veil.  It was rocking!

And then we left for the 1 hour drive home.... and my tire blew within 10 minutes of getting on the road!! MINOR DISASTER!

Luckily, Progressive Insurance sent someone out within an hour to fix the tire.  :)

 

I ate a cupcake while waiting...

And had a bowl of mac and cheese and broc when getting home!

WHEW!  That's it! :) See you tomorrow for manicures, pedicures, and a BIG NEW YEAR'S BASH!
