Sean & Amanda: our 2nd wedding shower

This post is a few weeks late, but it's better late then never! Many things have come up these past few weeks including many tests and other weekend festivities. Only 2 exams left until summer!!! woot woot!

So, on April 20th all the neighbors from my old "hood" Richland Court threw us a couples shower. It was a great time seeing everyone and catching up; it really has been a long time! In addition to the wonderful company, we also ate lots of really good food and cake.

John and Barb Ledvina put on the "Newlywed Game", which Sean and I won :) We played against my parents and Sean's parents. They think we cheated because we "practiced". For our "training" all we did was ask each other questions a few times a day for the week before the shower. None of it helped though because the questions that were asked were completely new and ones Sean and I did not cover when we "practiced". lol. It was really funny though and it was a little bit of a competition.

I think the question was "who is the better packer?"

We also received a lot of advice from everyone at the shower. Both from a book and also personal notes. The notes were very personable and so sweet!

Here are some examples....

Never go to bed angry. Put a bottle of wine on the table, take a sip after every point you make in the argument, and by the end of the night you won't care who was right or wrong
Amanda, you have to spend money to make Sean make money
never go to bed mad at eachother
Sean, always remember even when you are right you are wrong
Remember all the special "little moments" from when you were dating. Take time to have fun together even when life gets really busy and demanding.

I especially like the ones about me spending money and that I'm always right :) lol. But, on a serious note, we really do appreciate them and will cherish them! We have already enjoyed reading through them a couple times, and will continue to read through them in the future :)

Here are some pictures of the passages taken from the book. I loved the pictures...
