This past Sunday was the bridal shower hosted by Ashley Montulli, and it was awesome!  The shower was at her house in Menlo Park, and she set up a huge table for 22 people in her living room, all beautifully decorated with linens, flowers and balloons.  The food was catered and was delicious, and it was so nice to see all my friends!  

Ashley did manage to convince me that we needed to play at least one bridal shower game, and it was actually pretty funny.  We divided into teams and had a contest to see who could make the best wedding dress out of toilet paper... unfortunately my team did not win, but I still think we had the very best dress.  All in all it was a great day, with a whole lot of great people.  Ashley really knows how to throw a party. :)

Less than 6 weeks until wedding day!  Things are getting crazier and crazier, as expected.  It seems like an endless amount of meetings, cutting papers, gluing things, and inputting info into an excel spreadsheet.  And Mark is doing an AMAZING job of sitting on the couch and cheering me on.  But in the end it will all be worth it because the wedding day is going to be so much fun!  Now if only we could get everyone to RSVP on time...

On another front, Mark and I also just redecorated our apartment...  seems a little odd since we are moving out in a couple months, but we didn't really redecorate for aesthetic reasons.  Oh no.  We don't have a/c in our apartment, so our place has been consistently 90 degrees or so, and the windows in our bedroom pretty much open onto the train tracks, so we can't leave those open or it literally sounds like our bed is about to get run over by the train.  So, we moved our bed into the living room, and all our other furniture into the bedroom, which has now been named "the storage room."   We might as well just use our bathroom as storage as well since the toilet doesn't work...  All in all, we seem to have picked a winner when we were apartment hunting.  We move to New Zealand August 3rd, so hopefully we can last that long.  Otherwise, we are moving in to Casa Montulli. :)
