Today, I was surprised by my sisters, my mom (who’s visiting Taiwan for two weeks), and friends with a beautiful bridal shower. It was such a blessing to spend time laughing and talking with everyone. Here are a few photos of the wonderful event. Thanks to all who made this possible!

I was so blessed to have all these friends in attendance.
Everybody playing along.
Sara and Ashleigh replaced their photos with ones of Charles and me.
Good time with friends.
Peace Along the Journey 
What a fun time!!! I have not laughed so much in a while. I just knew Charles was going to say that what it liked most about you was your laugh! I’m sure it is among the top 10. Beautiful, amazing days ahead for you both, LOVE is a wonderful thing. Even more so when at it’s core is Jesus! ……………. Mona
