Wedding Season Has Begun

Last weekend, I headed down the ocean, hon, to spend the weekend celebrating Tracy's impending nuptials to Andre. A few months ago, Linda and Crystal started planning a surprise bridal shower (aka girl's weekend) for Tracy. They rented a beautiful house in Fenwick Island, and somehow we were all able to keep it a secret until Crystal told her! As far as we know, Tracy didn't suspect a thing! Crystal emailed her a cute poem the day before we were scheduled to leave to give her a heads-up that she was taking her to the beach for the weekend to celebrate. We had an amazing weekend. We didn't get to lay on the beach and soak up some sun (the weather wasn't that warm), but we went out to some nice dinners, had the bridal shower on Saturday and watched girlie movies all weekend. Oh, and we ate A LOT! For those of you who aren't familiar with Chick family gatherings, let me just tell you that we never go hungry. Everyone pitched in and brought yummy food - my personal favorites were the rice krispie treats made by Naomi - I seriously could eat a whole pan of them! The bridal shower was perfect - everything looked very pretty, the cake was amazing (see... we love food), and Tracy got some REALLY nice things! I have included some pictures of the debauchery below :).

Look how hard everyone is concentrating for bridal shower bingo!
