Sometimes I feel like there are NEVER enough hours in the day. Gisele is in bed, it is way past my bedtime, Juan and I are talking wedding, work, everything under the sun, I'm updating our Every Day book (Juan and I started keeping a 5 year memory book) and I realize....shoot I really wanted to make Stephanie some birthday cupcakes! If you don't know...Stephanie and I go wayyyy back and Tuesday was her first birthday that we have got to celebrate together since high school?! Crazy! Although we are both busy as can be with the kiddos and life...there was no way I'm missing an opportunity to celebrate her birthday. So Juan joined me in the kitchen and I whipped up some funfetti cupcakes to bring to her house after work the next day. So worth it! We had such a great (very short as it was a school night) night singing happy birthday to Steph and I got my baby fix. Boston (most recent addition to the Evan's family) is the yummiest...it has become a thing...I hug Steph and the kiddos....give Dan a "what up!" and then scoop up little Boston. I'm not quite ready for a baby yet but oh how I do love babies!! Especially little Boston who always falls asleep in my arms.
When the invitation arrived....I knew my bridesmaids and bestie David were going to throw me a dream shower. Despite the uninvited torrential downpour they managed to scramble the day before the party, cancel rentals and food, change from an outdoor location to the beautiful Croce's Park West and still throw an amazing party. I walked in Saturday afternoon and I was blown way! I still can't believe how incredibly special it was. Every little detail was perfect. I feel so weird getting so spoiled. Juan and I have been getting wedding presents in the mail...so weird! For us? Really! We feel so very loved! David kicked off the shower afternoon with the sweetest speech (I'm gonna tear up just thinking about it) and he presented me with a gorgeous floral headpiece. What a day it was! Full of delicious food, drinks, beautiful decor, fun Raquel friendly games (which is impressive because we all know I am not a game person), the sweetest gifts, yummy cake and of course the best company!! I love my family and friends and it was so very special having so many of them (missing some special ones but they were there in spirit) there celebrating Juan and I's upcoming wedding. Thank you to everyone for making it such a special day. I don't think I will ever be able to thank my bridesmaids and David enough for throwing such a perfect shower. If I could have two weddings with Juan....one would be the wedding we are having and the other would be a beautiful bohemian wedding and that is exactly what I got for my shower! Thank you again to my beautiful bridesmaids and my bestie David....Juan and I love you guys so much!!
