Berry Picking!

I went strawberry picking back in June with Renee and Jesse's little cousin Jillian and had such a good time! I picked berries for a couple weeks during the summer when I was younger, but hadn't since so I couldn't wait to do it again. Jesse and I decided to give away strawberry jam as our wedding favor and this was the first step.

The next morning I went over to Renee's so we could make the jam. I was so so so excited to make jam, but it wasn't exactly what I expected. It took us like 5 hours, but it could have something to do with the fact that we had so many little jars to fill. And, everything had to be so hot, my fingertips were toasted by the time we were done! 

Overall, it was worth it. The jars were perfect and we tried some of the extra jam and I'll admit homemade is mucho better than store bought! 

Bridal Shower (part 2 and 2 months late)

I'm not quite sure what happened here and why I it's been so long since I posted, but here we are. Nearly a month after my wedding and I'm just now posting the remaining photos from my bridal shower. Oh dear. Well, here they are! It was indeed a lovely shower and my sister did an amazing job putting everything together. Love you sis!

Cupcakes! Made by my MIL.

Loved the table decorations!

Jesse + I. My sister read about an old tradition of bridal showers where the fiance would stop by to meet all the ladies and give his fiancee a gift. Jesse brought me an adorable hand-picked bouquet of ranunculus. :)
