(L to R: Me, Alex, David, Annie)On December 19th, 2009 (38 days from now, I believe,) I have the honor of being a bridesmaid (along with my dear friend, Annie Donahoe) in the wedding of David Williams and Alex DeVore. David, Annie and I have been friends since preschool and have stayed close, despite the fact that we live in three different states. Annie and I have just gotten to know Alex, his fiancee, this past year and we absolutely love her! We couldn't have picked anyone more perfect for our friend and brother in Christ.
This past weekend, my Mom and I drove to Maryland for Alex's bridal shower. Since we all don't get to see each other very often, we definitely make the most of our time together. My mom and I arrived late Thursday night and Friday morning David, Alex and I took the metro to downtown Washington DC. We walked around town for awhile, ate at the mall food court, went to the Air & Space Museum and of course, took lots of pictures. :) After Annie's flight arrived in DC, we went back to the Williams' house for dinner with the whole family. After dinner, we watched a few old tapes from when they lived in Pittsburgh. It was so fun to see Annie and I sitting next to each other in church at the age of five! It is an INCREDIBLE blessing that the Lord has preserved friendships in my life for so long (and I pray that He continues to do so.)

<3The shower was held Saturday afternoon at the Williams' church. Everything went according to plan and it was a wonderful time of celebration and fellowship.

Her beautiful cake :)
All of the yummy food :)(Special thanks to my Mom for preparing most of it.)
After the shower on Saturday, Alex, Annie and I (David was working) went into downtown Annapolis. What a beautiful city! Unfortunately, it was way past daylight when we went, so I don't have any photos (hopefully I'll get some in December.) We walked around town and then sat in a coffee shop for a few hours (we had lots to learn about each other.) I'm thankful for the beautiful hearts Jesus has given my friends and the privilege to run this race with them! I can't wait for the wedding!
ps. I'll post more pictures soon (probably on facebook.)
