Not to mention the most wonderful Maid of Honor (aka my cousin Riz) ever.<\/p>\n<p>Look at what she put together for ME!<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/bridalshower1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/tn_bridalshower1.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The FOOD! All prepared by my cousin and my aunt. I did help a little with the grocery shopping. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/bridalshower2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/tn_bridalshower2.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The FAVORS! These consisted of chocolate lollipops in the shape of daisies and a variety of truffles. YUM-O! My cousin also made these candies from scratch. She is crazy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/bridalshower3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/tn_bridalshower3.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>GIFTS! It was a loosely themed &#8220;recipe&#8221; shower where the ladies were supposed to bring a recipe to correspond with their gift. I received lots of fun kitchen gadgets&#8230; I am hoping to put them to good use. EEEK. I am definitely not very good in the kitchen. :\/<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/bridalshower4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/tn_bridalshower4.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My cousin and me at the end of the day.<br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>And yes, I realize that was the third time I wore that blue dress in the month of June. HEE! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to this weekend. I had 4 whole days off from work. So awesome. You don&#8217;t even know. My best friend Carmen came to visit and rather than go out and do 4th of July activities, I held her hostage in my apartment and put her to work stamping wedding favor tags, adhering labels, and gluing the menus.<\/p>\n<p>BWAHAHAHA. It was so productive!<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m looking ahead to this coming weekend where I&#8217;ll be in LA AGAIN for my dad&#8217;s big 60th surprise birthday party. PHEW. So much stuff going on right now! And no, I will not be wearing that blue dress again. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OMG. I haven&#8217;t blogged in over a week.
