I finished a normal day of class and my professors pulled me aside to talk to me about my exam schedule. I talked to them for a little bit, and then my friends came to get me for what I thought was a meeting to work on a volunteer night the program was doing for some kids in the area. I turned the corner, they opened the door, and this is what I saw...
And this was my reaction...
All of the girls in the program, the professors, and staff had thrown Amber and I a surprise wedding shower. Needless to say...we were SHOCKED! They had all been planning for weeks, and neither of us had any idea. We spent the afternoon eating great food, opening gifts, playing games, and having a great time together. They even got our fiances involved by e-mailing them questions, and then we had to answer them how we thought they had answered. It was an afternoon I will never forget.
The professors and staff got us tiles with our future last names on them. They got them from a famous store in Sevilla..they are absolutely beautiful.
My Senora made me my favorite (tortilla espanola) for my lunch, and everyone else made a ton of tasty treats. They even had cookie cake..my favorite.

Amber and I in our dresses. She is going to be such a beautiful bride! Can't wait for her big day in December!
The whole group. They have been such a blessing this semester.
An extra special thanks to Kelly and Kate for planning everything. These two girls are incredible.
I could never say enough to thank the girls, staff, and professors for what they did today. I feel so incredibly blessed to have been part of a program with such amazing women. In a very short months we have become a family, and they have all touched my heart in a special way. Not only have they helped me learn so much about myself, but they have helped me grow closer to Christ.
Love,
jana
