The Wedding Festivities Begin!

When Mike surprised me with the weekend trip to Chicago I was ecstatic that I would get to make Leah's first Bridal Shower in Grand Rapids. I mean I only have one brother and I have been waiting for what feels like forever for Leah to be my sister!

Early Saturday morning Mom, Oma, Jack, Mike, and I loaded up the car for the 3.5 hour car ride to GR. It worked out great that Mike & Jack could visit with Mike's family while we were at the shower (another post with pictures of the visit to come).

The shower was wonderful and it was so good to see Ben and Leah. We haven't seen them since January and I have NEVER gone that long before. We talk or text all the time, but nothing makes up for face time. The bride-to-be looks as beautiful as ever and their kitchen is now stocked:)
