And Then There Were Presents

Now that game time is over...thought I'd show you some pictures of the shower gifts. Some will...ahem...not be on the blog because they were not as family friendly. But they were definitely loved! :)

Okay this first picture is blurry, but I have to share it anyway. Not sure if I've shared this on the blog before, but here's the story. My Mom has always said, anytime she sees someone wearing something a bit low cut... "That needs a dickie." Do you even know what a dickie is? It's like a mock collar you tuck in under your shirt.

When I tried on dresses, she kept saying "It needs a dickie." So one of the first gifts I opened - from Mom and Julie - was a dickie. I was SO cracked up by this thing!!!

Apparently I was still laughing from the dickie...for this one.

Cute little 31 bag (that I already have multiple plans for) and some REALLY cute slipper boots. That leads to another embarrassing story. Sunday night, Ryan and I were watching football and working on wedding stuff and we got the biggest craving for a burger. So we spontaneously went in search of a burger. The first place we tried had broken registers and couldn't sell food. The second place was right next to the Walgreens that had a picture order ready for us. And guess who (thinking she was only going to a drive thru) was out running around in polka dotted jammie pants and these boots? Oh yes. He found that MOST amusing.


LOTS of Victoria's Secret - and this is the one that is blog-friendly.

I was so excited about all the VS stuff. I've actually never owned lingerie from there and now feel that I have arrived. I love pretty stuff like this, so I'm really really excited to wear it!


Asking Mom if this one is modest enough...

This one was cute too! I did ask for some pretty lounge-wear for the house. Most of mine is leftover from the fat era and much of it has also been sweat on profusely in workouts of days gone by. Attractive for a new husband, no???

This one is also so appropriate, as Ryan is a morning person and I am not. Prayers appreciated.

Got lots of lotion and body spray - and I love that! The really fun stuff that I would be unlikely to spring for on my own because I'm too cheap!!

Also got LOTS of candles and I'm excited about those too. It's how I heat my house in the winter!!! :) Good thing Ryan and I have similar thoughts on a too-hot house.

Lingerie from the Emperor's New Clothing Line. Hee hee hee.

Really cute picture frame - it's a shadow box with shells in the front. Perfect for beach wedding pics, no?

This little pillow was from my sister and niece out in Kansas. It was probably the hit of the shower. The pillow says "When she opened her eyes, she awoke to her dreams." Melt.

At the end - a visitor!!!! I'd asked him to stop by after work so he could meet some of my friends. He looks so good!!!! Man, I'm so proud of him!!!

And this picture is just flat out awful of me, but I adore it of him. I love the way he looks at me. This is how he always looks at me. With such love. :) So thankful to be marrying him!!

Hope you enjoyed visiting the shower! Next up: the bachelorette party! :)
