Mostly, I’m just going to let you enjoy the pictures.
Cousin Jeff’s wife, (Marybeth) and my sister (Jo)
Jamie’s “Granny” and cousins.
Sandy, Kelly, Granny, Terry
Gail’s Friends
Cathy, Regina, Jean (far right)
Aunt Helen, Lois, Marybeth
Another cousin, Kay
Somehow, this is the only picture I got of her.
Andy’s Mom (Phyllis) Andy’s brother’s wife (Stacy)
Andy’s Nanny (Elsie)
Andy’s Aunt (Belinda)
The “Young” ladies
Do you remember I used Jamie’s Mammaw’s jewelry to adorn the flowers?
You know who, making some kind of silly face?
Emily, Sheila, Anna (Bubba’s bride-to-be), Jamie and Sarah. Emily and Sarah went to high school with Jamie.
Mother of the Bride, Bride, Mother of the Groom
Gail, Jamie, Phyllis
We played a game “Who Am I” in which the guests wrote down a memory of jamie, and signed the back of the card. Jamie then read the card and tried to figure out who wrote what. It was a great way for Jamie to reminisce and introduce our family and friends to Andy’s family. It also let our family and friends get to know Andy’s family a little.
If you look closely you can see that I included pictures of Andy and Jamie on the 3rd birthdays.
I put together a photo book with many of Jamie and Andy’s engagement photos.
Jamie and the grandmothers.
Granny (Dot) Jamie and Nanny (Elsie)
Me and my baby girl!
Jamie’s shower was a lot of fun and very successful, but not without the help of, Cousins Terry, Marybeth, and my sister Jo! Thank you ladies, I appreciate all of your help more than you know. Because Jo was so helpful, it allowed me to concentrate on the things I needed to do. Thank YOU!
More to come later this week about some of the decorations.
5 weeks till the big day!

It just hit me at the beginning of the post how quickly time has flown by…. has it really been a year since I met you at the Goodwill shop and hop? Can April already be upon us? And to think the wedding will be in just a few short weeks? 5 weeks? How is that possible?!? Jamie is absolutely radiant! I am so excited for the both of you! Congratulations!
