My mom threw my bridal shower on Sunday, 1/18/04. We did a buffet-style brunch at a cozy little country restaurant in Elma, NY called The Lodge. It was a wonderful shower -- 25 people came, and I got a huge pile of lovely gifts from everybody. Thanks to everybody to attended. Special thanks to my Aunt Diane for making 6 absolutely gorgeous theme baskets for door prizes, and also to my mom, of course, for throwing it for me :-)

And then 4 days before my wedding, I got incredibly generous gifts from my CEO & boss... and they even had a cake & fresh fruit for me at work! :-) I love you guys!!
