Showering Chelsea with L-O-V-E

Last weekend Chelsea was 

"showered"

with love

by her family and friends.

Thank you to Faith and Carter 

for throwing Chelsea a beautiful bridal shower 
and 
making it a day 
we won't ever forget.

Anywhooo.....

Being the blogger that I am,
I am what I am
 I couldn't help but write a little "verse"
and it went like this:

"Our darling Chelsea went south to Bama

ten fleeting years ago.

Bid farewell to her friends and fam 

across the Mason Dixon, she did go.

Off to school with a smile

our sweet Chelsea ventured,

not knowing what the south would bring
in terms of adventure.

A big move for a little girl

who didn't go on sleep-overs,

not to a friend's house

or even to her neighbors.

I remember that day we said goodbye

as she stood holding her wooden clothes rack.

Her Dad and I turned emotional dishrags

as she turned and we watched her back.

Chelsea made many great friends,

many are bridesmaids here (at the shower) today.

As college coeds they have their stories,

I would venture to say.

They lived in the "Mansion",

with a pool in the sun.

They cheered at Bama football games,

"Roll Tide, Beat Auburn."

In her junior year Chelsea met Austin

a handsome ball player

with the greenest of eyes and

the tallest of stature.

One day Chelsea asked Austin

to her sorority dance.

The rest they say is history,

the beginning of their romance.

After college Austin pitched for the Phillies

which kept them many miles apart.

Chelsea always looked forward to the offseason

when it came to matters of the heart.

Last November her "Stone" gave her a rock,

happy tears ensued thereafter

as they began making plans for a life together

Hyatt-ever-after."

72 days and counting...
