Party Pooped.

Let me tell you... 

I'm partied out...at least until April.

Friday night, some friends and I drove up

to Birmingham to attend a fancy lingerie shower

for our friend, Brianne. 

(Always a blush-worthy kind of event)

I don't even know how I'm going to handle

my own in April.
Yeesh!

On Saturday, Jesse and I braved the roads

through the rain from Birmingham

back to Tuscaloosa, 

so that we could attend

our fabulous engagement party, 

hosted by some of my bridesmaids 

(Haley, Kim, and Jennifer), 

and another friend (Brookie!), 

who set up a wonderful photobooth

for everyone to enjoy. 

I think Jesse and I were both so

amazed at the people who 

came and made us feel super loved. 

We love you guys!

On Sunday afternoon, 

I had to attend a bridal tea

for me, hosted by my aunts

and some ladies from 

my mom's church, 

aka the church I grew up in. 

(P.S. I'm so glad that some of the

ladies finally got to meet Jesse!

He popped in at the beginning

and then headed to work.)

Let me just say that I was completely 

overwhelmed the second I walked in

there, because they had themed the 

party around my flowers

for the wedding. 

There were daisies on the tables

and a double daisy cupcake cake

and other yellow and white treats

on the tea table.

It was so pretty! 

I was also completely taken aback

at the amount of gifts that Jesse and I 

received (mostly cake plates...haha)

Definitely experienced another

moment of complete humility

from the love from those ladies.

(I must have really loved those towels...)

Thanks, Kim, for taking all of the pictures!
Best cousin ever!
