This past weekend my wonderful mother threw me a baby shower. I ended up having two: one Thursday night and one Saturday afternoon. The one on Thursday was for neighbors and relatives. It was awesome! I enjoyed talking and catching up with old friends and neighbors that I haven’t seen forever. (I shook their hands at the wedding reception, but we didn’t get to talk.) I’m not too into little games etc. so we mostly just talked and chilled-which was perfect to me. I was so grateful that people took time out of their busy schedule to come and support Ben and I in this next step of starting a family. I received so many cute clothes and much needed items like blankets and wash cloths etc. Again, people are so good to me! I’m not sure what I have done to deserve to be surrounded by such good people-I guess it’s just in people’s nature to be so good.

On Saturday some of my best friends came. We ate, laughed, and talked for a couple of hours. Again I was so grateful that they would come. It really meant a lot to me. It showed me that when people have parties etc. I should really try to go because the support means a lot. One of my very best friends Bree even drove down from Rexburg. (Thanks Bree-You’re seriously the best and I miss you already!!) I had friends from High school, the mission, and college. Again, Hallie got super cute clothes which included a little swimsuit for next year-it’s adorable! Everything just made me even more excited for Hallie to come. Although, I’m glad I still have a few more months! Thanks everyone for coming- I loved it!!!!

My mom did an amazing job putting everything together. The food was fabulous and everything looked so nice. She really knows how to throw a party. Thanks mom for doing so much for me!!!
