Lauren Wallace (Matron-of-Honor) and her mom, Linda Reeves, were sweet enough to throw a shower for me at the Dallas Arboretum. They even arranged for perfect weather, linens in my wedding colors, and flowers with that perfect punch of color! Everything was just so nice. Perhaps the most interesting part of the shower was when I had to guess Chris' answers to 25 questions Lauren had secretly asked Chris the week before. I definitely did not get them all right (Huckleberry Finn is his favorite book?!) but I nailed the important ones. (What kind of dog does he want, favorite movie, favorite dessert, etc)
Thank you so much to all who came...it was great to see the SPS girls and moms, all the Teter women, the Barabs, Bennetts, and Fraineys.
And thank you especially to Lauren and Linda! The shower was absolutely perfect and appreciate all the thought and time you put into it!
Chris and I also met with Fr. Deeves, one of my high school teachers from Ursuline, to review our FOCCUS test, which is about 150 questions on topics you may or may not have already discussed as a couple. Don't worry, we "passed." But here we are on the kitchen table doing our test. I hadn't filled out a scantron in a very long time.
And no trip to Dallas during October would complete without a trip to the Texas State Fair! This was not Chris' first Texas State Fair experience, but it was his first one where he was old enough to eat a Fletcher's corny dog! We enjoyed finding the most creatively fried food items - this year's hits are chicken fried bacon and fried BLTs. We also posed for some pictures in front of Big Tex who is now sponsored by Dickie's BBQ.
