Marriage can be like the lands adventurers are
discovering. A lifetime can be spent mapping
boundaries, unearthing its wealth.

What do ya think happens when you put together 23 women, who love Anna, who have been given a unique gift buying experience, and who are willing to assemble late one evening on a weeknight in order to "shower" Anna with love, support and presents....and oh yes....a great time????
You get a night like last night!!!!
We laughed and laughed some more!!!
We shared memories of Anna.
Embarrassing her was especially delightful....and easy to do!!!
Each lady was given a letter of the alphabet to shop for-
A was for "All clean" thus cleaning supplies
E was for Extra Essentials
R was for ridiculous and regifting, return and recycle
S was for Sexy Salad Supplies and this fun poem:
My letter is "S" so sit back and dont stress.
I will try to do my best.
Anna, my sweet, it's time to take stock.
The step you are taking can be quite a shock.
But never stress...just strengthen your stride.
Give your support and be by his side right from the start.
Make him supreme and he'll make you his queen.
Seems kind of smooth and really quite sweet.
I've tried to rhyme with the letter "s."
Mostly its turned our to be kind of a mess.
The real test is the gift...does it start with an "s?"
I must confess.
The answer is "yes!"
You'll never guess, so I'll just tell you.
It smoney!!!

W was for- "weally wove waffles!!
Wedding dress shopping was enlightening and fun.
Registering at Bed Bath and Beyond is necessary.
Talking to caterers and reception hall people is required.
But attending Annas first shower, surrounded by friends and loved ones, really brought it home to me that my little girl is getting married!!!
For real!!!
I looked around that room last night, into the faces of those women I truly love, most of whom I've known for 12 years of more and once again realized how very blessed I am. I realized how grateful I am for these amazing women in my life and in Anna's life.
And though things are always chang'in -these people are dearest to me!!!
Thank heavens there's always one in the crowd....one without inhibitions I mean!!!
