Hot Pink & Black Bridal Shower

You may have noticed that I haven't posted since September (and even then it was sparse), but I have a really good excuse. I got engaged!!! It's been a whirlwind since the beginning of September—a joyful, happy pixie dust of a whirlwind mixed with a handful of stressful moments, like sand in the eyes. You really can't avoid that, but at least I am getting married to the man of my dreams. Knowing that makes everything better.

Four of my dear friends threw me a shower on Saturday, and since they know me so well they kept the menu as gluten-free and vegan as possible. Aren't they great? Here's a picture of the beautiful array of foods.

Hot Pink Smoothie, fruit, nuts, hummus & veggies, gluten-free & vegan muffins (which I will soon get a recipe from Lori—it might've been a mix, but it tasted divine), water with orange slices, banana bread, and apples & peanut butter.
