New Chapters

First Thing:
This is all about new chapters, new beginnings, new phases in my life. This weekend I spent a few hours in a coffee shop with two very close friends. It's funny how in high school we were not nearly this close and once college started we became fast friends. They have supported me all throughout college with life, school, Nate, jobs, missions etc. We spent all afternoon catching up on life and reviewing our future plans, sharing our lives with one another. They have been such a blessing in my life and I know that our friendship is not over. We are all in such different places in our lives: spatially, relationally, job wise (financially we're all broke!), etc. but we still have such a strong bond. We're entering a new phase in our life and our friendship dynamics are changing (not ending). I love them and I know we'll still be great friends for many, many, many years to come.
Unfortunately we forgot to take a picture together today to commemorate our last hang out before this phase in our life ends.

Second Thing:
I had such fun at my bridal shower this weekend.  I had the chance to see lots of friends that I hadn't seen in such a long time and I was overwhelmed by the generosity shown to me.  My sister's were so clever and put so much work into hosting it.  And so to recap that wonderful event:

 
Look at these adorable cupcakes!

 
Apparently this is what I'll be wearing on the first night of the honeymoon.
 This is little Sarah and I.  And my amazing silverware the Ramos clan gave me!




And a thank you to those who came (and are reading this).
 : )

Third Thing:
Nate and I found an apartment! We have a new address and he'll move in on June 8/9th!!!  Then we'll get all set up and after the honeymoon . . . it'll be ours!!!  Two bedroom and two bathroom, so we have room for visitors!




I'm so excited! I spent a few minutes this morning looking at HOME magazine and it got me really thinking.  I'm going to have a new roommate and I can't wait.
