We have had two wonderful baby showers!! The first one was in Ohio! It was a true Thelma and Louise adventure. I drove!! Before you call me crazy for driving...............I drove to Greenville, SC to pick up Jodi Willis (which was a surprise to all in Ohio) and we trucked our way to Columbus, Ohio for the first pit stop at Emily Aleshire's house! We chatted the entire time so time went by pretty fast!! Jodi drove a lot of the way while I sat in the passenger seat, feet propped up!!! She was proud that I didn't need a potty break every five minutes!! I can't tell you how excited I was to have the A/C in the car set to 63 degrees!!! It felt so good, TO ME!! Jodi, on the other hand, was an ice cube by the time we got there!! Poor thing - Good thing I packed her a blanket!! She had it draped over her the entire time, even when driving. Overall, the trip there was a good one, but we (mostly me) were exhausted by the time we got there!! Emily was so surprised to find my precious cargo (Jodi) stowed away in the trunk!! So glad we were able to pull it off!!
The shower was at Allyson Williams' mom's house in Salem!! It was perfect!! I got to see everyone and most of their children!!!!! I loved it and all of the yummy food (especially the mushrooms!!) and fun games. Keri Garcia put together a unique idea of putting baby advice on sweet little handmade cards!! She is so crafty!! I got to see everyone and most of their children!!!!! I loved it!! I met Keri's baby, Vivian, for the first time!! I love her!! She is so adorable. She has the best hair a baby could possibly have. I doubt highly Piper will get so lucky. After all, Jeff & I were practically bald until we were two years old.
On the way home, Jodi and I kidnapped Allyson!! She came back to the beach for a few days!! She got a one way flight out of here!! It was a nice visit. We didn't do much but relax. Well correction, Allyson didn't relax...........She nested for me. I mentioned that I wanted to paint my bathroom and she did it!!!!! What?!?!?! I can't thank her enough for doing it. It was a job very well done. Now the bathroom we will use for Piper is good to go!! I have such awesome childhood friends!!!
The next shower we had was here in North Myrtle Beach! It was a couples shower - meaning guys were invited to this one too!! It was wonderfully prepared by several fun loving hosts!! It was held at Jennifer and Glenn's beautiful home!! Everything was perfect! The food was catered and it was very delish!! They even got O'Douls for me!! :) They played the dirty diaper game for Jeff. They melted chocolate bars in a diaper and he had to guess which bar was in the diaper. So funny!! Rich Moore was all about it. He really knows his "sh*t!!" LOL!! He knew all of them!!
Jeff and I have recapped all of the fun events that we had leading up to the arrival of our sweet bundle of joy and have concluded we have the most loving and wonderful friends a couple could ever ask for! They have been so good to us and are so excited to meet Piper!! We are very lucky!! Thank you all for everything you have done for us!! Words can't describe how appreciative we are of all of you!!
We LOVE you!!!! xoxoxo
