A Shower for Kaylyn

Kaylyn is getting married!!! I love this girl. We first met one day when we fatefully became roommates at Crystal Towers. She walked into the door and I thought: "Oh she is so skinny" and "I hope that we will be friends." Friends we have become. We have seen each other through many life events. I appreciate her love, concern, and faith in the Lord.

I was there on her first date with her fiance Ryan. It was Valentines Day 2007. She, Ryan, me and Matt all went on a fun group date were we ate dinner, drove to the temple singing cheesy love songs, and then ice skated on the temple visitors center parking lot. It was so much fun. However, at this time she stated that she would not date him and I agreed that she should not. Well, a lot has happened between then and now. He was patient yet firm and she came to realize how much she loved him.

The shower was a beautiful celebration of this wonderful friend and her new life with her sweetheart Ryan. We ate some delicious food prepared by Kayleen, who grew up with Kaylyn. Seriously, that artichoke dip was amazing. Then we had Kaylyn tell us her and Ryan's story thus far. I asked Kaylyn to give us some dating advice she stated "Don't write someone off just because you do not think you have some differences." Then Kaylyn opened up gifts. I had made a professionally bound book of some of her closest friends and families recipes with their pictures attached. It was so enjoyable to see her open a gift that showed her how much people loved her.
