soon to be the FAB 5...... ♥

These are my FAB 4 girlfriends (self proclaimed name of couse!).... 

haha...  they are just such wonderful and amazing women 
who I have been friends with for years now!

Each one has different qualities that I just love and adore about them.

But as a group, 

we get to share in the joy of 

Bryan & ASHLEY having their 1st BABY!

 and this past Saturday, they had their 1st baby shower.

 They found out that they are going to have a GIRL....

another girl to add to the FAB 4, 

or should i say it WILL BE the FAB 5! hehe...

here are some photos from the day....

  

SUPER CUTE decorations!

  

 They got super adorable baby girl clothes!

  

Such a CUTE idea!!! And such cute stuff tied to it! =) 

  

Ash will definitely be ONE HOT MOMMA!!!!

  

Soon to be parents with 2 of their nieces ( Counting My Blessings )

I really look forward to meeting this little bundle of girlie joy. 

I see her being trendy, funky, beautiful, ORGANIZED (hehe) and a wonderful COOK, 

just like her mommy!

side note: 
We know her name already, 
but I will wait to let you all know when
I hear the good news of her arrival (around MARCH 5).

Matt's Design work

What a GOOD WEEKEND! Well, aside from that fact that Matt had to work a quite a bit... but that's ok, we still saw each other when we could! =)

Let me just say that I have the greatest friends! Friday night it was planned that I was going to go to Ashley's for a dinner date with her. Eat some of her good cooking, catch up on each other lives, etc.... but to my SURPRISE..... Becca, Sara, and Amanda were there toooooooo!!!! They surprised me with a nice meal and a night JUST FOR ME.... it was wonderful! So, THANK YOU GIRLS, you all mean so much to me! =)

A little update on wedding stuff... today our cake lady came over to bring us samples and take about design ideas and such... and i just thought that i should share this precious picture with you. Matt was such a good sport about being there that he even drew a cake of what he wanted (well, 4 of the layers are what we talked about doing..... but the 5th ones was his own idea/creation)... he got such a good kick out of it... adding a smiley face and/or Cubs "C" as our top layer! Haha.... well, we kinda nix-ed that idea... but his effort was very much appreciated! =) Aside from the design, I am super excited that we are going to have one layer of red velvet cake..... =) it is so good! =) I can't wait..... MMMMmmmmm... CAKE!!!!


Hope everyone else has had a good weekend.....
