Baby boy shower!!!

So I had an amazing shower thrown by two of my best girl friends. (Shawna Mannon and Ashley Pollick) They did an amazing job and afterwards I realized I didn't take a single picture of my amazing and unforgettable shower! So you won't actually be seeing pictures of the shower just of the gifts I received. But I will tell you about my shower it was so unique; I have never been to a shower like this. First Shawna sat up a potato bar complete with wine glasses and all the toppings you love on potatoes, butter, sour cream, chives, cheese, and even bacon! YUMMY! Then after everyone was able to get their fill of their amazing potatoes they were invited to dine on the luncheon. Chicken salad/grape sandwiches,a strawberry salad, and a cheesy toasted bread. After we had all enjoyed an amazing lunch I started opening my gifts, while my guest enjoyed a homemade chocolate cheese cake made my Ashley! Oh my yum it's one of my favorite desserts.

This shower was such a blessing! I was showered with so much love that day! I had nearly thirty people show up and celebrate with me! I truly am so loved! I was so overwhelmed by how many people were there I started to cry when I was thanking them for all coming! These weren't people who were just acquaintances these are people that I have a genuine relationship with every single one of them! I am shocked by how many amazing people the Lord has put in my life. But really it's not about the quantity it's all about the quality of these people. I have been blessed to have so many christian woman in my life! Each and everyone of these women has helped developed me and shape me into the woman God would have me to be! They all have had a direct influence on my walk as a christian! What an awesome thought of the body of Christ! I had a friend of mine text me that night and tell me she was so glad she was able to come to my shower and that is was truly an amazing moment to see all those people gathered around me in love! I was glad it was just more than me that was blessed by my shower! God is so good in ALL things!
