Susan's Bachelorette Party & Wedding Shower.

I just wanted to touch base with all of you and share a little about what has been going on in my life that is helping lead up to the big day when I get married.
As we all know the two major events that usually occur before a wedding is the Bachelorette Party and the Shower.

I had my Bachelorette Party on June 28 & 29th. I didn’t want to do the normal go out on the town drinking thing (can’t handle the hang over, and I wanted to remember the party. LOL). So I decided that I wanted to go Whitewater Rafting instead, and I am so glad we did. It was a great weekend all around. The weather was fatalistic, the guides were amazing, the rapids where crazy, and everyone who came had a great time. We went on at two day trip and slept on a little private island. We rafted the Elaho River and the Squamish River where the rapids go up to a class 5, we had a near death experience (I can tell you more when I see you), ate great food (all cooked over a campfire by men for us) and just enjoyed the beauty that BC has to offer. I could not have asked for a better Bachelorette weekend (minus being throw for the raft and landing face first in the rapids…LOL), I am so thankful to Shannon Jones (ABP Sister and bridesmaid) who went above and beyond what a Bride could expect from a friend to make this weekend fun and very memorable. I even got the change to sleep out under the star with Mel, another amazing APB sister who was just as excited about this trip as I was. I will never forget that weekend.

The wedding shower was last weekend on July 26th and once again we were lucky, the weather did cooperate so we were able to have the shower outside in my parent’s backyard. It was such a fatalistic feeling to have so many women from so many different stages in my life all in one place at one time. Family members, high school friends, travelling friends, Scott’s family and girlfriends & of course some APB Sisters were in attendance. It was great to have so many sisters join me for the day… I know all of you have busy lives and some of you even had to travel to attend the shower. But I am so glad you did, and it was very special to have you be a part of that day. I wish I could have had more time to spend with everyone individually, but the afternoon just flew by so fast. I received many wonderful gifts and lots of great cards with very sweet wishes. The support and love I felt was almost overwhelming.

The wedding is just around the corner and I still have a million things I need to get done. But I will make sure I do a post that shows some pictures from the wedding and the honeymoon when I get back for our trip. I am still not sure where we are going on the honeymoon as Scott is surprising me with the location for the trip on the day of the wedding. So who knows where we will end up!

I hope all is going great for all of you.
Lots of love ~Suzy~
