Hearts Are Floating For...Theresa's Bridal Shower

I returned home this past weekend for the first time since I moved to Kansas City. It was an emotional visit. My mom lost both of her beloved cats this week. I was able to say goodbye to one and be with her at the end although it was one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do. I also spent time at my house, going through all my belongings I wasn't able to bring with me to KC. Seeing my books, wedding dress, stuffed animals, etc, made me very homesick.

Fortunately, the whole reason I came home was to celebrate my sister-in-law's bridal shower. We had a Sunday morning brunch at the Sherborn Inn. I knew it was going to be beautiful since I helped in the planning but seeing it all come together exceeded my expectations in every way possible. It was truly a great way to end the weekend.

Showered with gifts!

The bride-to-be and her mom...otherwise known as my sister-in-law and mother-in-law.

The favors...my contribution! Inside is tea and chocolate.

My beautiful niece Julia. We bonded over waffles and debated Peeta vs Gale. (In case you're wondering, I'm a Peeta girl all the way!)
