Surprise!

Today was really, really cool! The reason? A bunch of my coworkers threw me a surprise baby shower! Isn't that the coolest? I've never had a surprise anything in my entire life! And I had no clue anyone was planning anything. I work in a really tiny group (only six of us - four guys and two girls). Anyway, today around 11:15 am, this guy in our group pulls me and two of the other guys in the direction of a conference room saying our manager wanted to meet with us real quick. I thought it was kind of strange, but whatever, I'm gullible. Anyway, we get to the conference room and they open the door and there's balloons and food and cake and presents and lots of people and they're all yelling "SURPRISE!!!". I kind of hesitated for a moment thinking, "whose party is this?" when it dawned on me that it was for me! Then my HUSBAND came up to me! So cool that they invited my husband too. I was really happy and excited. The food was great and we got lots of presents for baby. Lots and lots of Winnie the Pooh stuff from Target. I love that stuff!

Even though there's only six of us in my immediate work group, we work in a much bigger department and there were about 25 people at the shower. I was very impressed at the turnout. I had no idea people liked me enough to buy presents for my unborn baby, let alone go through all the trouble to plan something as cool as this! The main culprits were two of my girl friends/coworkers. They pulled it all together. One even called me yesterday to see if I wanted to have lunch today so I was waiting for her to call me and tell me where she wanted to eat when I got pulled into the conference room. What a sneak!

Anyway, I basked in the memory of my shower all day and, as a result, got virtually no work done. Only two more days until we make the drive to San Antonio, TX for shower number 2 and our niece's baptism. This shower will be mostly family with a few friends that we don't usually get to see since we're in Houston. I'm excited because I found a dress to the wear to the shower and it's pretty! As soon as I figure out how to put links and pictures in this bad boy, I'll start putting all kinds of stuff in instead of just talking about things. Now I just need to get shoes...
