jamie’s mom karen was kind enough to host a mail bridal shower for me since it was going to be pretty much impossible for me to make it up to south dakota prior to our wedding given all the chaos of this summer and fall! the best part was that she and cal [jamie’s dad] were coming down the first weekend of august anyway to help jamie’s sister hope move in to her new apartment before she started dental school, so they were able to be there when i opened the gifts. jamie got to help too, and hope came, and then my mom even decided to come so as not to miss out on the bridal festivities! we sipped on mimosas and had such a great time. i got soooo many wonderful gifts, and i really appreciate karen putting this all together. a few photos from our fun afternoon:
