Good morning, and happy Monday! :) Wow, it was a GREAT weekend! If I could have 10 more exactly like that one, that'd be wonderful... a perfect mix of fun and relaxation. It was great! :)
We had our "date night" on Saturday, which was much-needed, and just wonderful. We went out to Olive Garden for dinner, (I got the shrimp & asparagus risotto--yum!) and then out to the movies to see Ocean's Thirteen. Gooood movie, though a little slower than the first two.
Yesterday was Ryan's first Father's Day. :) I got him a father-to-be card at Target, (who knew they made such things?!) along with a fantastic brown leather storage ottoman to go with "his" chair in the living room. :) They had it on clearance!!
Okay, so I'm sure you want to know how the shower went on Friday. :) Oh. my. goodness. I was seriously blown away by how generous everyone was! Apparently what they did was collect monetary gifts from those who wanted to contribute, then they took it to Babies R Us and bought us things from our registries. :) A few others brought their own gifts, too. They had these BEAUTIFUL cupcakes made especially for the party from a baker, some other delicious goodies, and yummy punch. I brought my camera and took a couple pictures; then one of my coworkers offered to take pictures of the event. :) So.. I have lots! Enjoy! :)
The chairs for Krissy & I. :) They even got us corsages!

Needless to say, we are AMAZED by how generous everyone was. I think the shock kept me from crying, but I was seriously overwhelmed! This company has been nothing short of wonderful to me, and I am so, so thankful. I've already written and dispersed all my thank you cards this morning!! (I wrote one for everyone here, since I wasn't sure who contributed and who didn't.)
Lastly, here's the pic of us at Krissy's shower last weekend! She was 32 1/2 weeks, and I was 30 1/2 weeks. :)
Well, that's all I've got. Hope you all had a great weekend!! :)
**EDIT** - CONGRATULATIONS TO DAYANA & MIKE ON THEIR PREGNANCY!!!
You had such a cute shower! The company you work for is amazing! =0 ) You look great & radiant. It was very thoughful of you to make a note on my pregnancy . . . I'm sure you remember how it felt when you were 9 weeks . . . I feel yucky all the time! I'm sure it will pass. Congratulations once again! I will be praying for Ryan's speedy recovery! Dayana
Hooray for all those beautiful gifts!! What a wonderful company you work for! It's so great to get the "big things" out of the way! Car seat and stroller are huge on the list aren't they? I hope that your still feeling good. i've been getting a bit more cramping, to be expected, but always a bit uncomfortable :) it will all be worth it soon! God bless, and take care! Vincy
the leather table/ottoman? that thing is cool. that is what i always seem to gravitate toward. seems like it would go nicely with a decanter and tumbler set to go inside it. and then the top can act as a serving tray.
Oh wow! What a wonderful place to work for. You certainly don't see that very often. It looks like it was a wonderful shower! And the cupcakes were absolutely adorable!
