wedding showers. {and a WINNER!}

Are y'all tired of me going on & on about my wedding yet? 

I must admit I've absolutely LOVED reliving it! 

Bryan and I had a really short engagement ... 6 months ... Is that 'really short'? 

I sure felt like it was at the time but with a sick grandpa and a 101 year old great grandpa I HAD to be sure that they'd be there!!! 

Even though it was short, we still had lots of showers hosted by friends and family! It was SUCH a fun summer because it seemed we were constantly surrounded by the people that we love! 

{prep yourself for LOTS of pics!}

{me with hostesses and mom & stepmom!}

{CUTE cupcakes!}

{me with all of my grandmothers!}

We are so lucky to have so many people who wanted to celebrate our upcoming marriage with us ... Our friends and family were so incredibly gracious and helped to make the time before our wedding day so incredibly special!

I did get an ENORMOUS pick me up yesterday evening though ... It started with a giveaway and ended with a winner ... ME!!! 

Megan from Across the Pond hosted a giveaway for this GORG necklace by In Honor of Design! And I was the LUCKY winner! :) 

WOOOHOOO! 

Today is a new day, I woke up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day! :) 

I'm going to spend some time today planning my garden! I know I've said it before but I am so excited to plant this season's veggie garden! I need to do some research for my Spring crops though ... First time for me! :) 

Here's what I'm thinking of trying: {ahhh!}

~ broccoli

  ~ kale

~ spinach

~ carrots 

~ beets

~ potatoes

And that's just for Spring y'all! Oh I'm so excited! :) 

I'm going to leave y'all with this picture ... 

That is my 101 year old GREAT grandfather Skyping with my youngest sister in Mexico! How awesome {and cute!} is that?!!? Ahhh, technology how I love thee! :) 

Happy Sunday Y'all!
