bittersweet

So my shower was yesterday.  It was very intimate, which was nice.  The girls really did a great job pulling it all together.  It was a little sad as well.  My aunt passed away Saturday night, and I cried when I opened her gift.    I wasn't expecting it.  The first thing on top was a box of tissues, which was good because I really needed them.  All in all it was a good day though, and I was glad to spend it with my closest friends and family.  Now it's time to get working on all of those thank you notes. We also finally finalized everything with our florist and photographer this weekend.  Things are really starting to come together at this point.  This is a good thing with just forty days to go!   I am starting to get a little nervous.  It just seems a little surreal at times.  It really dawned on me that I was going to a wife in a little more than a month when I read a card addressed the the future Mrs. Edwards.  I think it was really the first time I had said it out loud.  It sounds nice.  I am looking forward to it.
