Bridal Shower Extravaganza!!

So, last weekend my maid of honor and bridesmaids threw me a bridal shower! It was so much fun and so beautiful. Kristin really put a lot of thought and hard work into making it absolutely perfect. I could not have asked for a better shower than that. The food was really good and the cake was delicious! I love cake so that part was really important to me. :) She matched my wedding colors so everything was purple and burgundy at the shower.
I am so thankful for my family and friends that made it special for me. We got a lot of wonderful gifts and cards. Everyone shared a story about me, some were a little embarrassing. :) But for the most part they were funny and sweet! Overall, it was a great party! Thank you everyone!!
After the shower, me and 7 others went to see New Moon!! I purchased the tickets online the week before so we could make sure that we had tickets. The showing didn't start until 10:10 but we were there around 8:15 so we could make sure we got good seats and we did!! We waited in line for about an hour waiting to go in the theater but we were the 3rd group in line. Not to mention the fact that we strategized the best way to get good seats. Our plan was to split up, half go one way and half the other once we got in the theater and meet in the middle with the best seats. So....like dorks, we ran into the theater and got great seats....only to conclude that we definitely could have walked in leisurely because about 10 minutes later there was still good seats left. lol New Moon did not disappoint either! It was such a good movie and I want to see it again!
Also, this week was Thanksgiving. :) This is Jesse's favorite holiday so he was pretty stoked about all the yummy food and, of course, football. I started the day out by going with my mom and dad to watch my mom run a half-marathon at 8am. It was fun and I got some good pictures. She beat her goal and ran it in 2hrs 8min. Which is pretty awesome! For lunch, we went over to my grandmas to eat and visit with family. We had a great time over there. That evening we went to Jesse's parents for more food and family!! It was such a good day and we really have so much to be thankful for this year. Starting with family and friends, but also that we have jobs and can put food on the table. We are also thankful for our new home and love for each other. Next year has a lot in store for us I'm sure since our wedding is in January. :)
