Bridal Shower #2

Thank you so much to Janie Dowell and her family for hosting a beautiful shower for me!

She had the corner room fixed up very nicely and had quite a spread of food and drinks!

(I hope we can make it look as good or better for the reception after the wedding!)

The shower was a lot of fun!

Christian made a video of some of our engagement photos and put it to music. We played a version of the game BINGO. I read several statements describing Michael and I. If the guests were able to guess who I was describing correctly, they could cover the corresponding number on their cards!!
