This past Saturday, my best friend Maggie had her last wedding shower which was her Christmas shower brunch! Maggie and Sam will be getting married in less than 3 weeks and I know that is an excited couple! I have enjoyed watching her and Sam grow and form into such a beautiful, Christ loving relationship with one another.
Christmas season passes through our engagement time, so this was a perfect theme
for our first shower! My Aunt Lisa and Aunt Sami were gracious enough to put
together this shower for us. At the shower, we had aunts, cousins, grandmas,
friends, some of my bridesmaids, and my 2 main men Devin and Little David all
there to celebrate.
Christmas time has ALWAYS been a favorite time of year for
Devin and I. It is a time where there is no stress from school, time to enjoy
family and friends, and a chance for us to create traditions with each other. We
were given some of the most beautiful gifts at the shower. Lots of ornaments,
stockings, decoration, etc. Now we just get to organize it, pack it up, and
have it ready for next year to put up in our FIRST HOME TOGETHER!

This is an ornament that has a photo of Devin's dad in it. I cherish this so much for many different reasons. This picture was taken on our last Sellers family vacation to the mountains. This in my opinion was the best vacation we had ever taken together. We sat around, did much of nothing, and just enjoyed the time we were allowed to spend together. We all miss our dear Papa Bear more than words can describe. Every year we hang this ornament, I'm sure we will reminisce on this trip and remember the wonder father that he was.

Ok, ok...I have big news…
Drew, my sister’s boyfriend (now fiancé), told me in October
that he wanted to propose to my sister! This added so much joy to my heart!
When my sister loves someone, she gives them her entire heart. She has had her
heart broken a couple of times which always crushed me too. To see her hurt,
makes me hurt. I believe that my sister deserves the best and I wasn’t going to
let her settle for anything less than that. Anyhoo, I met Drew in March of
2011. I instantly knew there was something different about the way he looked at
my sister. It was like he had the entire world at his fingertips every time he
was near her. He shows patience (with us Enzor girls…you have to have that),
love, and kindness to her.
My sister has been nothing but good to me during my engagement!
She has helped keep me on my to-do list, collecting some of my stuff she knows
I’d probably loose on my own, and I know she’ll keep me sane when wedding time
is in full blast. Now I get to do the same for her! I have gotten the chance to
learn from her, so now I get to return the favor! I am beyond excited to part
planning, dress shopping for her, going to bridal conventions together, and
creating yet another pinterest board! I am so blessed to know that my sister
has found the one for her. I wish y’all a happy engagement and let the planning
begin!
It has been such a pleasure watching you grow I to such an amazing woman. You're so optimistic and loving that you project such an outward glow that anyone who is around you is touched for eternity. It is apparent that Christ lives in you, and you are truly His. May God continue to bless you and Devin and may your journey together be full of love and wonderful memories. I love you Haley! And by the way, I left your shower gift at my in law's when were in NC, so I'll have to see if she can get it to you for me.
