I think I keep saying this on every post, but life is so busy right now! I have wanted to post pictures from McKenzie's first bridal shower and haven't had a chance. I knew if I didn't hurry up and get them posted, I probably wouldn't ever get it done.
Several of her very special friends hosted a shower for her near a town where we used to live. It was the same town that my parents lived in before my mom died and several of her friends came to the shower. It was a very special day.
They did such a good job. Everything looked really pretty and she got lots of nice things for her home!
These two ladies were two of my mom's best friends.
She won't be an "M" much longer. Soon she will be a "G"!
McKenzie and Nikki. Nikki is married to Daniel one of McKenzie's friends (who is the son of one of her dearest friends!) When McKenzie first met Nikki she immediately loved her too!
Sisters. I can't believe I didn't even get a picture of Mariah. It was really hot outside that day and the heat kind of affected everyone. Some of the pictures that I did take everyone looks a little wilted. :o)
This is "Aunt" Donna. She is one of McKenzie's best friends. They spent countless hours quilting together and talking during McKenzie's teen years.
There were many friends from our old church.
Madeline
McKenzie and Becca. They have been friends for many years! Becca was married last year and she hosted the shower at her home.
Me and my girl. :o)
My sister and niece. Carrington is one of the bridesmaids and my sister is directing the wedding! I am so thankful for her help during this time, especially with my mom being gone. At one point during the shower it got a little emotional. My mom had bought a few things for McKenzie before she died and we brought them to the shower. There was definitely a void
McKenzie and Daniel's cousin Ann. McKenzie has been friends with her since she was eleven.
This was a pleasant surprise! This is McKenzie with one of her childhood friends Rachel. I met Rachel's mom at a La Leche League meeting when we were both pregnant. The girls came just a couple of weeks apart and were great friends for years. It was kind of strange to see them all grown up together.
Goodnight!

I have totally fallen behind posting on my blog but I try to keep up on yours…such excitement! :-)
I found your blog through McKenzie's blog which I found from another blog that I can't remember now. Thank you for sharing her courtship and now engagement journey. It is such a blessing to me. I have 4 daughters, the oldest is 15, so I am trying to glean as much from the experienced Mammas as I can!
