Our wings are not tired.
Bridal shower was a smashing success. Decorations, food, games, goodie bags, presents, people, all good. Looking forward to her mom sharing the pictures because I didn't take any and bride has only posted one so far. Exhausted.

Seconding the Sock Dreams rec. I'm also a fan of Joy of Socks, though there's quite a lot of overlap between the two sites' inventory.
