Red, White, and Blue Shower

Upon my return from T's wedding, some friends threw me a shower for this little man. It was soooo cute! Check out the food and decor!!

Look at all those yummy treats!!

Here's some of the awesome ladies who came. Karen, my companion for visiting teaching (also radio personality and funny lady), Carrie, fellow prego lady with twins and and awesome attitude, and Jen, fellow Buckeye fan with her own little 6 week old, great lady to talk to.

And here's me with Mauri and her beautiful almost 1 year old baby Bri. Mauri's one of the first people who had us over when we moved here and is a party person. She has a great attitude and is very inviting. We were lucky enough to hang out at the park earlier that day and she showed up to the part-ay even though her hubby had been working 5 am til 10 pm most days that week.

And here are the beautiful hostess' of the party. Kaicie, Jayme, and Carrie. I can not say enough good things about each of these women. Kaicie, the party mastermind (seriously--this girl can throw a party and is so creative!), has been a true friend, and fellow transplant from Ohio, and our kids click super well right now which is so fun. Jayme--let's just say that girl is a hard worker and has more energy than I ever will. I was over at her house at 8:30 am last week and she had just finished mowing her lawn with all 3 kids in tow! And Carrie: hilarious. Talk to her and I dare you not to smile. All gorgeous women in their own right.

Unfortunately, I don't have more pictures of the other wonderful ladies here. And Jamie, who created and put together handmade invites for everyone.
I am so lucky to be surrounded by so many amazing women that add so much depth and warmth to my life through our interactions, conversations, and service.

We hit the jackpot again when we moved here. We may be in a small town in the frozen tundra most months of the year, but we are surrounded with awesome people with warm hearts who make it such a special place.

And with that note, I will leave you hanging for another post of where we will end up for E's fellowship starting July 2012 . . .
