My Soon-to-be-Sister!

I had the tremendous honor last week of flying into Dallas to spend a little time with my soon-to-be sister-in-law, Alex.

Because I got to be the wedding dress seamstress!  Mostly.  See, there was a dress she had her heart on, and there was a dress she could afford...and I got the humbling and squeal-inducing right to alter the second so it would look more like the first.



Um, no, you can't see it.  It's a wedding dress, y'all, and my brother will probably read this maybe at some point maybe.

So instead of white fabric, sewing machines, and thousands of pins, I've got shower pictures for you!

Since I was in town for such a short time, I got invited to the coworkers' Kitchen Shower!

This is Teresa, whose name I have probably butchered in the spelling.

Sorry, Therisa!  She is totally sweet and generous and adores Alex, so I think she's probably an all-around winner.  And Mom!  Mom's a winner, too.

 Ellie was clearly the most adorable person in the room, so she had a great time.

We had delicious Campisi's food and played some shower games.

And then Alex got to open her presents.

 Terisa made the bow bouquet as we went along (I so wish I knew how she spelled it!).

 I was busy with the camera most of the time, but Mom offered to take one of me and Alex.  With no communication whatever, this is where the two of us went with that:

 Ellie just loved that bow bouquet.

 What a great party!

I'm so glad I got to go to this shower!  This wedding is coming up soon!!  Heading to Dallas in 2 weeks!
