new job and a "surprise" shower

I've been looking for a job here in Gaithersburg, and I've found one! Mitch saw it in the CLC Classified Ads last week. I'll be working for Llewellyn Realtors starting August 17th. And I'll be staying with the Langendorff family from then until September 20th (when we get our apartment). Their hospitality is such a huge blessing to me.

Last Saturday, my maid and matron of honors (Sherri and Erica), with the help of my mom, threw me an amazing "surprise" bridal shower! All my aunts and a few close friends from GCC came and we really had a great time. My sister thought of some funny games, and Sherri handmade these cute favors, with homemade chocolate (with detail "painting"). Everyone was so generous with their gifts for Mitch and I; I think I have enough kitchen supplies to actually make a meal now!! :)

We're going on vacation Sat, Aug 8 until Sat, Aug 15 in Lewes, DE with my family. And we are super excited about it! What a great time of relaxing and uninterrupted wedding planning! :)
