Bridal Shower

Janie's wedding is in less than a week! But her shower was on April 14th. Because of her love and shoes and her new last name becoming Shoemaker, we themed the shower appropriately...

Janie's favorite food is bagels and cream cheese, so we of course had that at the shower as well :)

Instead of playing the usual groom answers, bride answers game, I instead interviewed Janie and Kevin and asked them to share their version of several important events in their time together. I also made them think hard and remember what shoes they were wearing so I could match the story to the shoes. It was no problem for Jans of course!

 Can't believe it's coming so soon! We leave for California in 4 days...

 On another note: Thesis is passed, Student teaching is completed, job applications filled out... I graduate on Saturday!!!!!

California!

Over Spring Break, we were able to go with my family to visit CA for a week. We sailed for 3 days, then spent the last 4 in Newport Beach.  The oldest of my brothers, Kyle, went through the Newport Temple while we were there. It was a fantastic trip!

 (Oh, this was the birthday cake that Janie made for Logan. He is a pokemon fan and we found this on Pinterest. I though the fire-breathing dragon was cute!)

 It was cold! but there was lots of sun.
