Surprise Bridal Shower!

I meant to post this on Wednesday. Today is Sunday. Oh well.

On Monday I came back to school, ending my last college winter break. It was bittersweet. My brother and I seemed to be the only ones left at home still for the last week. We had lots of fun with the fam, but somehow it made me more aware that school was imminent.

Monday morning I woke up and started packing. I packed all morning, didn’t shower, and left for school looking absolutely gross. I had been running up and down the stairs, in and out with trips to the car, and had that to look forward to again when I got back to school.

I got to my apartment at 3:30. I parked, grabbed the essentials (my backpack containing my computer) and headed in. I dropped my armload of stuff in front of the door, fumbled with my keys, and walked in. As I opened the door I heard, “Surprise!” My roommates were assembled in our living room and the ceiling was decorated with blue and white pom poms. Everything else was normal. I smiled and walked in.

“Do you know what your surprise is?” My roommate asked.

“… pom poms?”

“No, we’re throwing you a bridal shower!”

“OMG!!!… when?”

My roommates had planned the shower for 5:00, so don’t worry, I had plenty of time to get ready. I have my mom to thank for that, and her rushing me out the door all of a sudden made more sense.

{Me and my roomie, you can see the beautiful decorations she made in the background. Aren’t they cool?}

I had so much fun at the shower! My roommate made chicken salad sandwiches with baked tomatoes topped with feta. Yum! We also had this drink that was made with white wine, champagne, and margarita mix. They know me too well. And after all that, I had a surprise guest show up.

I got so many awesome presents! I felt so overwhelmed, happy, and loved. My roommates were so sweet to throw it for me and I was so happy to see my friends after winter break. It was so cute and I will never forget it.
