Bridal Shower : Nomes

This weekend I got to spend time with Naomi and Lauren because we were celebrating Naomi's wedding shower! It was such a fun time to be together in anticipation of her coming wedding! It was also really cool to be back in Spokane with my Gonzaga gals (we missed you Danielle!). We even slumber partied on the floor at Naomi's grandmother's house, sleeping bags, late night gabbing and all. It was fantastic!

Rockwood Bakery in the morning! We were able to walk from Naomi's grandma's house, through Manito Park. It was fabulous!

So blessed by these friendships.

Everyone is getting married! Yay for married friends! We will be celebrating Lauren this fall!

They are giving me the too-many-pictures-stop-now look.

Naomi's Aunt Beth hosted a beautiful shower, including these delicious cocktails. Champagne and fresh raspberries, yum! 

This is Rosie. When did I become a dog person???

I wish I would have gotten a better pictures of Grandma Beth, she was the most fabulous woman! Such class!!

We were really proud of ourselves because we found a great bar in downtown Spokane. What?? Zola had great small plates and drink specials. 

Beauties. 

We had a chance to walk around campus which was so cool. It was really special to be back on campus with other people that have the same great memories there that I do, many of them shared. It was so peaceful to be walking around listening to the bells at St. Al's. Go Zags!!

Saying goodbye to the COG. It was really strange to see it torn down. 

What's left of the COG. 

Go Zags.

Kisses for Spike.

This is my favorite picture of the entire weekend. Love.

Truth.

Umm, epic fail. Whoops. 

St. Ignatius of Loyola photobombing in the background. Nailed it.

I'm already looking forward to the wedding!

Also when I got home Andrew had cleaned the entire house, even unpacked my suitcase from our anniversary trip, SWOON!!!

Weekend Recap

My friend Abby let me borrow her camera lens this weekend and I had the best time playing around with it. Thanks Abby! I took pictures of anything and everything. Hence: the photo of the suma mandarin. Have you tried these things? I hate oranges but these babies... delicious!

I also tried out a new cookie recipe via Mel's Kitchen Cafe blog, you can find the recipe here!

E-man helped Campbell with his brackets. Also, is there anything sexier than a wedding ring? I think not.

Although I'm a close second, Everett wins the award for best napper in the house. 

And now, the rest of the weekend brought to you via my iPhone:

Watched the Zags lose. so rough.

New nails. 

Tried out the Train of Four on ourselves in ICU training. Train of Four =  shocks. 

Date night with Hubs. 

Had a serious convo with these two. 

Embraced day 2 hair.

Got beat to bed by this little lady.

Was disgusted by day 3 hair. 

Made popcorn for dinner. Yes, for dinner. 

Coffee at my favorite new coffee house with two good friends.

We also had dinner at my in-laws which involved teaching them a new game, it was a ton of fun and somehow I managed to get zero photos. We also attended a great church service. Have you heard this song yet??? Check it out here: Man of Sorrows.
