Shower Fun :)

Yesterday, my dear sister and my wingman (LeeAnn and Sheila) threw me a really fun shower at my mom's house. It was SO fun to have so many of the women I love (and little Alex) all together and all to myself for a couple hours!

The card I got from Kelsey was a really GREAT reminder of what all this "fuss" is about. And it nearly made me cry because I really do think that Nick is my perfect fit, and I am SO SO SO lucky to have him. Sheila made me the most beautiful and special scrapbook with our story in it, and LeeAnn got me a bridal handkerchief that I almost needed to use when looking through the scrap book. :) I am so grateful for friends and family and all that I have been blessed with. So thank you to everyone who came and thank you for all of your generous gifts, friendship, support and love.

Kelsey's card:

Somewhere between fittings, flowers, phone calls, and all of this wedding-planning craziness -- there are two people who are in love. And that love is the most important thing...

Because when your wedding finally comes, the most beautiful bouquet in the world (and it will be beautiful) won't compare to how you two look at each other when you say "I do."

There are so many details that go into planning your wedding (and I promise to notice them all!) but you can rest assured that it will be perfect. Because the two of you are perfect for each other.

 
Here are a few photos (Thank you Dad and Sherry) from the day:

 The banner in the background says "Future Mrs. Sykora." 

Now it's hanging in my living room at home. 

I LOVE it, and I'm going to keep the Mrs. Sykora part for my office at school.

Alex hugging Aubrey. He liked her fluffy dress. Aubrey thinks he will want to wear it when he is 4.

Alex just chillin'. So cute!!!
