Baby Showers WARNING LOTS OF PICS and LONG POST

Warning lots of pics and sappiness

The past two weekends I've had baby showers. The one on Jan 17th my Sister Tracy and Sister In-Law Lori had for me. Most of the girls in my family were there. We had lasagna, salad and bread and played some fun games. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures really from the shower but I will say that it was GREAT!! Thank you Lori and Tracy and to everyone that was able to make it. I appreciate the great company and the generous gifts for little Jake.

Last Sunday my BFF's(Mary, Kristi, Lanee and Sonja) put together a shower for me. I almost cried when I walked in because a lot of my friends that I don't see very often where there. I can't even tell you how nice it was to just have all my friends that I've made over the years all together in one room. Each one of them is special to me and are friends that I've made in different stages of my life. Just knowing that after all these years they are still people that I hold close to my heart makes me feel all emotional. (pregnancy hormones)

Kristi was nice enough to be the photographer for the day and she snapped some great shots..

Mary made the food. Look how yummy this looks. I was so busy talking a didn't eat much

My favorite cake is chocolate cake with chocolate frosting from a box so Mary made this cake for me. I had like 3 pieces last night.. I love it. Man what a pig I am.

Me and Laura

Andrea, Me and Kristen (This two mean the world to me.. We've had a lot of fun together and I love that they were able to make it to my shower to share the next chapter of my life)

Kristi thought I looked cute I guess and made me take this picture

Vicki and me... (Vicki and I worked together briefly a while back and we have become great friends. We talk usually everyday through email or instant messenger about pretty much everything)

Mel, Stephanie, Me, Kristen and Andrea (Stephanie and I have been friends since we were in our early 20's. Although we didn't get along at first our friendship grew and I now see her as a lifetime friend)

Tamie and Sonja (Tamie and I have been friends since I was 17. I was there when her first was born and we now work together. I am lucky to get to see her as much as I do. Sonja and I have been friends since we were in 7th and 8th grade. We've gotten in to a lot of trouble together but I have a special bond with her. I think it's because we are a lot alike)

Kristi snapped this picture when Brent came to pick me up. I love this picture. He is so cute.. I love him.


Ok, I'm done now.. Thanks for hanging in there for this whole post. Sorry if this was sappy. A while back I was going through a hard time feeling that I lost a lot of friend and seeing all my "real" friends come to my shower really made me feel good. I've always put a lot into my friendships and they mean a lot to me..

Thanks for listening

Kim
