He's on his WAY!!!

I feel like things are coming together for the wedding...however one slightly important aspect of the day still needs to come into place.

COME HOME JOEY!!!

In just about an hour he gets on the plane, and then I won't get to talk to him again until I SEE HIM IN PERSON!!! Tomorrow evening can't come quick enough!!

Celebrating with Family!!

Both my mom and dad's sides of the family came together at my Grandma & Grandpa Eby's place today!! There were so many people...if Joe were home already he would have been thoroughly confused with who is on who's side, married to who, kids of who...even I was confused!!

But it sure was a wonderful time! All decorated with Chinese decorations, incredible cheesecakes, and a whole lot of laughs and well-wishes! It was fun!
Thanks you guys!! You are making this such a special and memorable experience!!

Here is a pic with the Eby-side girl cousins! (we missed you, Justine!)
Sharla, me, Debra, Pam, & Chelle


A peek at some of the guests visiting in the living room (the guys hung out downstairs)


Haha, me with my beautiful Grandma Eby, and heart-stealer Grandpa Eby.
Dad, standing behind me, trying to make me look Chinese. ;)

Cameras always capture such awkward moments. bleh. Hopefully my wedding dress will compensate for the strange facial expressions that are sure to come out of me that day!! :P

Aunt Joyce, Chelle, Danny, & me...just veggin on the couch...

Wishing we could take Grandpa home with us.

Hard to believe that the wedding is only 13 days away!!! WHOO HOO!!

Beautiful Bridal Showers...


Hey!!! Wow, Chelle & Debi...you did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job of the shower last night.

The black & red theme was soooo classy, the poolside affair with the tiki torches lighting the evening & the standards floating through the air, along with the little white lights and cuuute patio furniture made me feel like I was being pampered at a high-class resort. The friends that you invited from the many places I've lived over the years made the evening like a reunion of all my favorite people all in one spot (well, not ALL my favorite. ;) and the red boa you threw around my neck upon my arrival made me feel like the guest of honor.

I just can't stop looking at these pics...it was such a classy, well thought-out evening that left me feeling pampered and sooo loved. I love you guys!!!! Thank you!!!

I wish the rest of you could have been there, but I know that distance is a factor. ;) You were thought of, though, and very missed!!!

What a great kick-off to our day coming up in 3 weeks from today!!!! Can't wait!!! :D
