Rite of passage

This past weekend my best bud hosted a bridal shower and bachelorette party for me.  The shower was absolutely lovely and I had a great time:

I had a little too much fun opening our gifts.  Considering all of the new kitchen gear we received, I should probably figure out how to be a better cook.

I also have pictures of the bachelorette, but I think I should probably keep those to myself.  But know that they’re out there, and I can probably never run for political office.  Shame.
