Okay so as most of you figured out I am horrible at updating my blog. I am so sorry for not staying on top of this. I have my excuses but they are not that good so I will skip all of that.

Now that it's down to just a little over two weeks until the big day I do indeed have a lot to update.

So where to start...First I've had two wonderful bridal showers. The first was given by David's mom, my soon to be mother-in-law, Linda. It was beautiful shower. I met many people that I wish I would have met earlier in my relationship with David but never got the chance to. I realized that day really how great of a of family I am marrying into. So many of Dave's family members and friends of the family came that Sunday afternoon and where so happy to be there. Many of whom I just met and many Dave hasn't seen in a long time however we both left that day feeling so special and loved. It was funny because I was so nervous that morning but when the day was over and we were driving home I felt foolish for how nervous I was. It was pretty much like the same day Dave took me home the first time to meet his Mom, Dad, brothers, sister-in-laws and his nieces and nephews. They too made me feel so welcomed and loved that day that I remember thinking "wow they are great, I would love to have them as a family someday". Well now that is coming true in a little more then two weeks and I just can't wait!

My mother, my aunt and my two sisters threw me my second shower and let me tell you the Ross' girls know how to throw a shower. It was a great day! It know it wasn't easy for them since my twin sister just had her first baby in May and my older sister lives in Virginia but because of the amazing love we all have for each other we always come together when need be no matter what it takes. I am so lucky to have two wonderful sisters and a mother who is not just a mother but a best friend. I really don't know what or where I would be with out them. It was a wonderful shower and a great day!

My bachelorette party was back in the beginning of August and we all went to Put-in-Bay. For those of you that don't know Put-in-Bay is a huge party island in Ohio. I have to say I was nervous about it at first since I am much older now and I can't party like I used to when I was in my early 20's, but I have to say I did pretty well. I guess the number one accomplishment was that I didn't get sick the entire weekend. Now that doesn't mean I did get drunk every night, believe me I did, but I guess in my later years I've became more wise and I now I know when it is time to go to bed. Isn't the saying "nothing good happens after 2am" something we should all live by. Anyway it was an awesome bachlorette party and it was great to hang out with my good friends, some new friends, my mom and most importantly my soon to be sister law Shannon. That chic knows how to party!

Dave's bachelor party is the weekend before the wedding and I know he is looking forward to it. They are all going golfing up north near Gaylord. A weekend of guys and golf you know they will have fun.

This holiday weekend Dave and I decided we would stay home and tie up some loose wedding ends and just spend some quality time together. Dave has been working the past few weeks in Indiana so we haven't seen that much of each other during the work weeks. It is crazy how much I miss him when he is gone but I am grateful that he was been able to come home for the weekends. His job in Indiana is complete this week which is good because then we will be able to stress out together the next few weeks before the big day. Okay well I can stress out and he will be here to calm me down which he is so good at doing.

Well that is about all I can think about for now other then I can't believe how excited I am for this wedding. Hopefully this will make everyone happy for a while. Bare with me and I will do my best to update again soon.

Above are some pics from the bachlorette party!
