(3.10.12) Please welcome the bride and groom. On Saturday, I attended my co-worker Lisa's bridal shower. Her bridesmaids hosted it at the Nature Lodge at Raccoon River Park. It was a very pretty setting. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but the room was great, the tables looked charming down to the napkins, and the view of the lake was an amazing backdrop. Josh was a great sport (or maybe he was sincere) opening presents. He seemed so excited to get dishware and pitchers. I'm sure with each gift he just got more and more excited thinking about spending the rest of his life with Lisa.
Later that night, the ladies got together again for the bachelorette party. We had dinner at Sbrocco. I'd been wanting to eat there forever (well, for the two years I've lived here). I had a sample glass of Temperanillo and Riesling. Both were pretty good. The salad was amazing and so was my entree - I loved the sweet potato gnocchi. I knew it would be a little pricey, but it was still more expensive than I thought.
