California Part 1

I went to Southern California over the weekend and had an absolute blast! It was so great to see all of my old friends and catch up. My mom and I flew in on Friday afternoon and then split up (she stayed at her girlfriends house and I stayed at mine). I stayed with my friend, Ali (aka "The Bride"), and I was finally able to meet her fiancee. He was, of course, an awesome guy and I'm so happy that they found each other. I was supposed to be a bridesmaid in her wedding but our little guy made other plans :). Their wedding is Oct 6th and my due date is Oct 11th. So, flying to California is definitely out of the question. However, I am SO glad that I was able to fly out now to at least attend the shower on Saturday. It was absolutely lovely - the other bridesmaids did such a great job setting it all up. Here are some pictures from her shower:

I tried to get this picture to turn but I cant figure it out - any suggestions? Anyway, I wanted to post it because I thought it was so cute. All of the guests brought a recipe card and we close pinned them to an apron. So cute!
