plottin' 'n plannin'

Saturday is the shower Matt and I are throwing for Lucas and Erin. I think it'll be a grand time, but I'm always unsure that things will turn out the way I hope they will. I've been working on the flowers, the cake, and the guest list (12--not too big, not too small), but I think the biggest challenge will be the fact that graduation is Saturday and Mother's day is Sunday. This wasn't the best weekend to choose, but it was basically the only option, so I'm going to make the best of it. I'm actually quite excited for Erin to get presents. That was one of my favorite parts; to get cool gifts from people I love. I just finished baking the cake (vanilla mmmmmm) and Alyssa is going to help me decorate it tomorrow after end-of-the-semester margaritas, yes after margaritas. That should be interesting. The biggest challenge for me is that it's a "Jack and Jill" shower, so men and women (almost 50-50) and I don't want to do anything that the guys would think is dorky. I really liked having the platter painted at my first shower so I might do that for them, too. I think even the guys would like it. Matt was never able to attend any of my showers so he's not very helpful, though he tries. All in all, I'm planning away, hoping it goes well. We'll see. I still have tomorrow to work out the kinks.
peace, health, and love
