Yesterday after school my friend/coworker Stacey gave me my 1st bridal shower. It was at school and of course the whole faculty was invited. Ms. Elaine, the principal, even let us have the party in lieu of our normal staff meeting and just emailed us out notes on what the staff meeting would be on.
I was a little overwhelmed with the thought of a work shower. I didn't want people to feel obligated to come or get me a gift but it turned out perfect. I got lots of fun and useful presents. The best part was they had them all opened and displayed when I came in so I didn't have to sit there awkwardly and open gifts in front of people. There were no speeches just people eating and socializing with each other.
I work with a lot of really great people. They are the people that I see 5 days a week. They are some of the constants in my life. And at times I complain about my job but I love these people. I'm glad that I got to celebrate my new beginning with these people. Some are just coworkers, some are friends but they all hold a special place to me. Most genuinely care about me and each other. I know they don't read my blog but I want to thank them anyways.
Thank them for the gifts, for the friendship, and for being a part of who I am. There is no other work place I would want to celebrate this with other than them. I'm incredibly grateful for them.
Stacey put a lot of hard work into it. She had the perfect invites, It was the picture of me and Brent with the words I love him written on my hand and underneath it said,
Engagement pictures- $250
Shoes to wear under the dress- $100
Finding the right man- Priceless
How cute is that. She made sure I had all my favorite desserts there, she found the perfect napkins (and I know this sounds silly but she knows me well enough that when the person she assigned napkins to brought the "wrong" ones she went and took care of it herself), I even had mints there with the letter A.
Funny enough someone got me monogrammed towels with the letter A on them and at first I was real confused. Then I remember my new last name will be Adamson, I can't wait.

Decorations were so super cute
The treats were amazing!
Cheesecake bites. 
It was nice that before I even got there they had the gifts opened and displayed.
I got 2 laundry baskets! People must really think I should do laundry more often.
I was so grateful for everything.
The mother of the bride came too. Thanks mom. I'm glad you were there.
Stacey made this all happen. She is such a great friend. Not only did she host my shower she also listens to me complain on a very regular basis.
