Krista and I left Baton Rouge on Thursday at around 5, it was not a bad trip to Dallas, we pulled in to Jossies apartment around 10 30... not too shabby. We stayed up and visited for a while and then hit the sack.
On Friday we woke up kind of late but it was not too bad. We went to Walmart to get me some nice arch supports (I know, I am an old lady ha). Then it was off to the malls. I could not find ANYTHING to wear to the shower.. I don't know what was wrong, but I just could not find anything. Krista found some cute tops and shoes.. Then we went back to Walmart to get the groceries so I could cook supper (I love to cook and Joslyn never gets home cooked meals..soo .. I cooked)
While I was cooking, Joslyn and Krista left to go get DAWN!!!! WOO HOO She flew in for the shower.. I was so excited to see her! We ate our spaghetti and had a great time visiting and catching up. Who would have thought that I had it in me to stay up til Midnight!! But we did.. It was so much fun.
Saturday we got up early, all got ready and then went to the hotel to say hey to Dar and David (And Shelby). They had had an exhausting couple of days. David had to spend the night in the hospital.. long story but he is ok. They needed time to sleep so we headed to go shop. Well, before we went and shopped we decided that we needed to get our cars washed * FUNNY STORY ALERT*
So Dawn and I are in my car and Krista and Joslyn are in her car. Well, we go through the car wash and pull around to wait for Joslyn and Krista... waiting.. waiting.. then *ring ring* I pick up my cell "Hello" and I hear Krista saying "oh my God, Oh my God.. we broke the car wash.. " Dawn and I start to laugh.. I say yeah right.. she says "Oh no, there are like 10 workers here cussing in spanish, they have stopped it"
Turns out, the guy at the beginning did not get Joslyn lined up properly on the track and after the high pressure swirly things got done, Krista and Joslyn come out and her car is basically turned sideways. Krista reaches over and lays on the horn which got the men to come and turn the car wash off. They finally got her straightened out on the track and after she pulls out of the car wash they realize it had POPPED her tire.. YIKES.
So we had to go to Sams, get her a new tire (which the car wash paid for). It was so trying but SO FUNNY (after we all realized it was ok.. I hope you can laugh at it too Jossie)
We went and visited Sam Moon (did not find anything) and the scrapbooking store (found a LOOOT). Then Krista, Dawn and I went and met Dar and David at TGIF's for lunch.. then off to the shower.
We walk in to Breadwinners and I see all my buddies! Mary Claire and Judy who I have not seen in FOREVER were there, Joslyn,Dawn, Dar, Krista Michele from my work here in Baton Rouge came .. her sis lives in Dallas so she was down visiting and made it to the shower. So.. we were visiting and getting ready to get the "party" started when in walks this lady.. and I look, and then do a double take.. LAURAL!!!! Laural my good friend from Minnesota was there!! I think I was in SHOCK.. I never expected to see her. Her friend Joyce also lives in the Dallas area so she made a weekend of it.. I was so shocked.. (did I already say that?).. and then Jena and her sweet baby Reagan joined us a little later. It was such a great time, we had lots of good sweets (death by chocolate.. YUMMY) and I got a TON of gifts.. It was so amazing. I did not want it to end.. I really just had an amazing time.. Plus Mary and Joslyn did a great job planning so the games and gifts were fun and again, the food was to die for!!
After the shower we went out to eat with Dar and David and then went back to Joslyns and hung out.
Sunday we all got up, met at IHOP and then had to say goodbye. It was hard because I knew that it would be a while before I saw everyone again.
I am just so thankful to have so many good, close friends.. you all made me feel so special and so beautiful. I can't wait to introduce you to this sweet baby!!!
Here are some pictures from the shower! The first two are of the peoples :) And the second two are the gifts!!
