I took 2 days off of work to fly to Dallas for a bridal shower. My mom was hosting it for a really close family friend (womb to tomb family friends!) and I'm a bridesmaid so I really wanted to be there. Friday was spent flying in and then shopping and cooking for the shower. We made super-yummy chocolate mouse, among other things. Saturday morning was more prep work and cleaning, and the shower was Saturday afternoon. We had a great time, and Julia was surprised that I was there (the rest of her family knew, but she had asked for surprises!). The shower was fun - Taylor had a game where we had to take a quiz about Jeremy and Julia. Who knew that chili dogs played such a prominent roll in their relationship?? (Apparantly it was a stipulation that Julia had to like them before Jeremy would agree to date her.)
Taylor and Julia and their family stayed at our house that evening for snacks and Mexican Train Dominoes. That game is totally addicting and has become a tradition at holidays and other gatherings between our two families.
Sunday Mom, Dad and I drove to the Arboretum for Dallas Blooms. It was gorgeous! Thousands of tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and other spring bulbs were blooming. We saw 3 or 4 different brides having their portraits done - one was by the waterfall where I had some of my pics done! That evening we vaccinated 4 of the 5 of Mom's cats. It actually went well - except we couldn't catch Bobo. She knows what the towel means and is not afraid to bite back. Luckily, Mom grabbed her Monday morning so she is now fully vaccinated too.
Monday I slept late and then flew back to Denver. After about a month of being vegetarian, I ended up eating some chicken salad from the shower. It had celery and almonds in it and was really good! The vegetarian thing is hard sometimes!
