I was reminded from a post on Instagram that Laura had a bridal shower in Texas. She had her college friends there, plus her grandmother and mother and sister and aunts and local cousins. It was one of those humanizing moments where you see something and somewhere in you’re mind it registers that “Oh my gosh, you’re a real person.”

Like this is actually happening. I admit to being so wrapped up in my own mind at times that I completely forget about things like my future daughter-in-law having a shower. Someone gave her a pillow with her future last name and an s that said “Est. 2025”. In the same picture she wore a baby blue baseball cap that said Mrs. her future last name.

So that was…cute?…I don’t know. Her mom and I are supposed to get together when she gets back and I told her once the semester is over I will have more time. We haven’t finalized rehearsal dinner plans yet but I was thinking we should probably figure that out. I think we’re doing it at camp. The basement too is still waiting for me to change it.
