Can You Feel the LOVE..??

I sure know I felt the love when I flew to Connecticut this past weekend for my second bridal shower. The attendees at this shower were friends and family that I grew up with, people that have known me since birth. I immediately started crying when I walked in the door, and was greeted by all of these amazing women who I don't get to see as often and were all in the same place for me. The love I felt was overwhelming. The shower was beyond amazing, I will have to re-cap that later on this week as my amazing sister has all the photos of every single detail and event that went into making my day so special.

One of my most favorite gifts that I received was a scrapbook that all the wonderful women in my life, mom, sisters, aunts, cousins, and friends, got together and helped create an out of this world special keepsake for me to have. I had no idea and was so surprised when I opened this 60 (yes 60) plus page scrapbook filled with so many memories and achievements of my entire life. I will share just a few of the many fun pages below with you. I can't even imagine the hard work (and probably wine and fun) that went into making this scrapbook possible.

The Work of Art
The Dedication :)
Our Wedding Save the Dates and Invitations
Engagement photos and growing up
Special events and amazing family
To Mom: What was up with some of the clothes and haircuts you gave me?! :)
Lots of family!
Milestone events like junior and senior prom, high school graduation
Family Vacations
Sister trips to Italy to visit friends
College Graduation, good times with friends
Important life events, weddings, bridal showers, camping trips
The Florida girls were even in the loop and contributed numerous pages
The DC Bachy Weekend
More DC Weekend
And ended with pictures of the shower - thank God for Polaroid cameras!
The shower after-party and my can't wait to assemble NEW craft table!!
If I didn't already know it, and I did, but I will say it again, that I am so lucky to have so many amazing and wonderful women in my life who love me so much.

Were you ever overwhelmed by all the love that you felt at one time?
